Dude, Is That The Blog Whisperer?
We don’t wait until kids are an “adult” to teach them how to read, write, add and subtract.
But we wait until they’re an adult, hoping mental responsibility, physical responsibility, spiritual responsibility, career responsibility, and administrative responsibility will fall from the sky and then be bestowed on them.
What if we didn’t wait?
When should we start the teaching process and how long should it last?

Life, Lean Into It
No, not the movie Sixteen Candles.
Sixteen months.
Today marks the start of the 16th month of writing five daily blogs. Each one differently themed from the other.
July 1, 2010 – what does it mean to you?
When you look in the mirror each morning, what are you doing to keep up with the daily demands life places on you?
Lean into it!
Freedom To Write Without Worry
It’s been 13 months. Writing five separate blogs. Daily? Yep, daily.
Daily, as in every single day.
(only guy on the Internet doing it)
If you notice on the right column under Archives, April 2009 has 18 posts, not 30.
Here’s why. I used to blog for my company, before we had an official social media policy, which came out last August.
Twelve blog posts were removed because of their reference to my real job with a Fortune 100 company for the past 27 years. My boss said I’m free to write whatever I want to personally, but not as a spokesperson for our company.
I’m good with that.
And because of my gift for focus and discipline, there is no one better at social media policy commitment and compliance than, well, guess.
Follow The Current?
You know what humans are like?
Water.
Water is always looking for the easiest route. Water never chooses the uphill path. Only and always, the downhill path.
Sound familiar?
This is why we need to spend a significant amount of time figuring this out.
We have two choices.
If the followers are so smart with their ideas on how the leader should do things, why don’t they simply take charge?
Because their ideas don’t cut it.
Hard work does. And followers don’t have the guts to do the hard work. They sit in the shadows and know neither the agony of defeat, nor the thrill of victory.
What's That Noise?
No seriously, who writes five different blogs every single day?
The Blog Whisperer.
What are they about?
MIND, BODY, SPIRIT, MONEY, HQ.
Why does “The Blog Whisperer” do this?
Why do you do the crazy (important) things you do?
A Toast To Yesterday
Did you do it yesterday?
Huh?
Exactly.
Did you do all the things from yesterday’s post?
I did. This Russian blog validates it (second paragraph). Sheer serendipity.
This You Tube video has nearly 50 million views which speaks for itself. It’s a little slow at first, and I almost clicked away and moved on, but didn’t. It has strong subliminal meaning to our lives as humans – this battle between Lions, Water Buffalo and Crocodiles. The end will surprise you.
What?
Life. We love being alive.
We dread dying.
In between, we have to carve out our life. A life that hopefully allows us to not only survive, but also to thrive somewhat.
To have mostly good days, a fair number of “bad” days, and occasionally a few great days.
Bad, good, great. We will each define these differently, no doubt. That’s okay. It’s all relative anyway.
So what’s the point?
The point is, what will today be?
Suomi Quotes?
Being inspired inspires others.
Most humans like quotes. We enjoy the way a small sentence or quick thought can summarize the essence of a larger body of work.
Some people are addicted to quotes, like me.
And some people find themselves quotable. This is usually by design, and it is also the mark of someone who’s been burned by Hell’s fire and came out purified, or at the very least, changed.
And in our busy, hectic, worried lives, small, digestible sound bites really satisfy our hunger for a laugh, for inspiration, for validation, for comfort – and on and on.
Quotes are good.
You can quote me on that.
