Life: Marathons Unseen…
Life’s uncertainties at times leave us baffled–often as if in a maze with no way out. The Unseen provides periods of confusion, apprehension, and fear.
A Marathon is a long-lasting or difficult task or operation of a specified kind
Life’s uncertainties at times leave us baffled–often as if in a maze with no way out. The Unseen provides periods of confusion, apprehension, and fear. It seems we are running a Marathon–a race that never seems to end.
But it’s at those times that our strength and character is built. If we hold on and never give up, we discover things about ourselves we never knew existed. With renewed zeal we embrace our inner desires to go on. To achieve even more goals, dreams and aspirations far beyond measure.
Today if you feel exhausted, take a break. Talk to someone. Find a Coach. But whatever you do, don’t ever give up. The light will break through at the end of the tunnel.
Keep the faith. Keep going.
Cheers!

Ambience The Lights
A place of lights that sets the ambience of peace and serenity in the warmth of the cold.
The lights in the cold. After a day skiing in the mountains, we hit the downtown village at night. A place of lights that sets the Ambience of peace and serenity in the warmth of the cold. Twas exciting as my youngest daughter decided to spontaneously capture this pic of herself curled up against the Lights of Nike’s inscription The Chosen.
All in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado.
Thought I’d share.
Cheers!

Someday I’ll …
Someday I’ll do this. Someday I’ll do that.
How many of us often sit or live at the ‘wishing well’ that someday I’ll do this, or that. Someday I’ll get that perfect body. I’ll have that perfect house, job, spouse, marriage with the perfect kids; go on that dream vacation, and much more! Oh if wishes were horses so many would ride.
Someday is Today
Why not let someday be today. I reflect on the movie Hidden Figures where each of the three women at NASA — Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into space.
The inaugural team at NASA decided to step out and do something that was never done before. From the astronaut, NASA’s president, the judge, and naturally the women. They all stepped out and did something different. And guess what? It worked! Their efforts changed the world (well outer space– orbit)!
Start Here. Start Now
Why not let your someday be today? Start here, start now. Step out. Go do that thing that you’ve always dreamed of. Become an entrepreneur! Write that book! Enrol in that course! Start that blog! Take that vacation! Leave that stressful job! You are Capable. You never know what’s out there unless you try.
May your someday be today.
Cheers!

How to Improve Your Writing Today…
Writing (though a rough Uneven and bumpy road), doesn’t have to be complicated. It is a muscle that if used improves. Write here. Write now. Just write. Edit later.
Write something everyday and you’ll get done. That’s one of the most important advice I received and adopted while doing my dissertation.
It worked
It worked! I wrote everyday and before long I had finished my research; published a peer reviewed journal article on the Leadership Challenge; published 2 books on Success Strategies; and am onto my 3rd inspirational book titled GreenLight. Woohoo! Writing (though a rough Uneven and bumpy road), doesn’t have to be complicated. It is a muscle that if used improves. Write here. Write now. Just write. Edit later.
Jessica Stillman wrote How to Radically Improve Your Writing in Under 2 Minutes In summary she recommended:
- Delete the word “that“; which we often use but is unnecessary.
- Delete the words “I think“. Doing so strengthens your sentences.
- Avoid words ending in “ing“.
- Write short sentences. Short paragraphs. Keep paragraphs to less than three sentences. Yea I know’ that‘s hard for some (here goes ‘that’ word again).
- Shrink your opening sentence.
I intend to follow her advice and I hope you do too. So adopt 1, 2, or a few… and improve your writing today.
Cheers!

Useless. Doing Something Efficiently That Should Not Be Done At All…
Peter Drucker was wise when he said there is nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency, something that should not be done at all.
Across from her I stood. Watching as she carefully arranged the papers for delivery. Unknown to her was the intrepid fact that her department would be cut the next day. No amount of hard work could Criticize or change that fact. Decades ago who would ever have thought that society would change. Newspapers were no longer being read by the mass and the company had to cut back. Sad as it was the staff had to be reduced to save what little of the company that could be salvaged to its new online medium.
Peter Drucker was wise when he said there is nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency, something that should not be done at all. Tempted? Let’s examine our lives today. What are we doing so well that should not be done at all? Is it taking a course that you Insist but is no longer recognized and when you graduate you are left out in the cold? Is it staying within your comfort zone in a job that has no room for growth, or worse …almost redundant? Lest we get more personal …is it pursuing a relationship that no longer makes sense?
Be Wise. Look around you. Examine the trends and do only what makes sense for your future self.
Cheers!
