Random photo day, home

Infant flipping the middle finger to photographer — As funny as it is sickening, no?

Random photo.

The source is some public place.

Can’t recall where or when.

What i do remember is feeling that the person who decided to put it in public is brave, crazy, and probably fun.

Habits and ambitions, home

Disney Institute wisdom — Habits create our life.

Best habit?

Focus and discipline combo.

Focus on the basics.
Discipline yourself to never take your eye off the ball (basics).

Over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

Do the basics brilliantly.

The trap to be busy, home

The Store Is Now The Living Room — What was once a one-room corner grocery store was long ago converted into the living room. My first visit was in 1979. i’ve only known it as the living room. Cheryl’s Mom was born in this house and lived here until she moved to Senior Living at age 91.

Gotta do more, be more, get more.

More what?

Do, be, and get what makes your life whole.

Be careful with the trap of more.

More is rarely enough.

This lesson takes decades, at the earliest, to learn.

Be careful.

Pay attention.

Have fun.

Get and stay vibrant.

Then find a million ways to stay motivated to live with prioritized priorities.
