The Fifth Element Is The Box These 4 Sit In

You search the Internet for answers, for insight, for tips and tricks, for shortcuts, for entertainment, for friendship and a host of other reasons. It’s all good, as they say.

But just to be clear, these blogs are for the the person who is looking for transformational change.

Anyone looking for easy, quick, or small, can stop wasting their time here.

I’ll have none of it, thank you very much.

To whom much has been given, much will be required.

We all have been given the 5 gifts of mind, body, spirit, job and daily life.

Balance isn’t between work life and personal life. Balance is the daily integration of these five.

Will I see you here tomorrow?

Just me and President Obama.

Well, sort of.

You may have been there too.

The number of men and women who died in Iraq.

George Washington, our Nation’s first President started his meetings with prayer.

I wonder why? Seemed obvious, and relevant back then, but prayer is not something that is typically part of business today.

Being organized is a skill. It requires hard work, creativity, flexibility and a willingness to be focused and disciplined.

Decisiveness.

Think about it.

You must decide, all day, everyday, what to do, what to keep, where to put things, what to discard, what to ignore, how to prioritize, etc.

All day.

Everyday.

It never ends.

And then you should decide what you believe and get busy, right here, right now.

These Are For You (Happy Birthday)

Being organized helps you remember important things, like birthdays.

I’m pretty certain you can all relate to this.

Happy birthday today to my Mom!

I wasn’t so organized last week, when I missed my step-Mom’s birthday by a day.

I saw it coming a mile away. Every year it’s the same. It’s the last week in August (predictably) when two very special women celebrate their birthdays.

What we do thunders so loudly, people can’t hear what we say.

We must have the determination and perseverance to continuously try to improve our attitude when we stumble, even as we get older.
