Week #30, 2023

Many times we find ourselves waiting for other people to decide things that will shape the course of our possibilities and opportuntities. Creating opportunties on your own terms involves choosing the work over ego. What are you willing to give up, and what are you willing to take ownership of so that you can control your own opportunities?

There is no telling who any of us will become. You do not need to be defined by all the failures and successes that have come before this moment in your timeline...

Growth is the theme this week.  I am a relentless promoter of YOU, and what you can accomplish.  I believe so much in nearly everyone's ability to change their situation that I start to sound like a broken record at times.  But... talking about it is the easy part... That's what I mean when I say that changing your life is simple, but it isn't easy. The plan is simple, but the execution is going to be uncomfortable.

Your path is your path

And while it may be informed by the good and bad choices of all those who came before you, you (and you only) bear responsibility for your path.

And so own it, make peace with it, rip the band-aids off, look your weaknesses and shortcomings in the eye and just keep growing.

We each have our own type of intelligence based on our bodies, our experiences, and our instinctual response to external stimulus.

Week 24 of 2023 has arrived... Dunked into the slow moving Dutch canal of your life like a fictional Rebecca Welton. I was wondering... What do you want?  Seriously. I have my own agenda... which primarily is: Motivating people to put the blood, sweat, tears and time into the work of being their best, most interesting, weirdest selves, while at the same time striving to personally live up to the above, while respecting my responsibilities as a Husband, Father, Son, and Friend. This is my mission both because it's incredibly rewarding, and also... I want to live in that world! So... What can I do to help?  More emails? Different topics? Motivational posters? Videos?

Here is the thing, and I don't mean for this to be a heavy burden, but... The Universe needs you to be striving. Striving to be a better: human, dad, mom, business person, neighbor, etc. 

The only way to lead is by example, and that means being better.  I want to live in a universe where you expect greatness from me, and I expect greatness from you.

Not as a contest among mortals, but as extreme ownership mutually shared among divine beings.

Big heroic gestures really get our juices flowing... they make great movies and, with the right soundtrack, are usually home run heart-string-tuggers.   And yet, all the durable wins are in daily actions, repeated over years... the rest is just background noise.

Life is crazy, and there is too much to do. When you want to make a change,  how can you possibly fit in the time to become an expert: nutritionist, trainer, business coach, investor, parent, care giver, etc, etc.
 
We all need a map for this type of roadblock to change. I think the solution is...:

Profit is important, no doubt.  Actually valuing your customers usually protects and improves your profit.
 
Show up for the people in your life with ACTIONS. Your customers, your friends, your neighbors... Words are wind.
