You’ll Start To See A Change

Do you consciously try to improve a little bit every day? Personally? Professionally?

Really not trying to annoy you, but I’ve spent 27 years of my life working for an organization that epitomizes excellence and continuous improvement, and epitomizes being the best – not one of the best, but THE best.

It was only a matter of time before the pace picked up.

That time has arrived.

Thanks to a ticking clock. Thanks to the iPad.

I wish I could tell you that I’ll wait for you, you know, until your ready to start living. But that’s now impossible.

There are 80 million blogs out there. There are 180,000 books written every year. A gazillion websites.

How does one capture the attention and interest of like-minded people? If you’re a business owner, a leader, a manager – how do you do it? The same way as everyone else?

Feeling Great? Feeling Great!

Can’t put our finger on things sometimes, can we? Stuff happens. Some good. Some not so good. Why? Who knows.

This particular Saturday (today) has been very productive, personally and professionally. Why? Who knows.

It’s funny how our physical health has nice ripples to the other dimensions in Life’s Big Choices. I’m leaning that way.

My running has been getting better, and foot pain has been getting less. I know, who cares? Guess I could say the same thing about Seth Godin’s recent post, “The Wrapper Matters“.

Run, jeff, Run

Mind, Body, Spirit, Money, HQ.

Life’s big decisions. Life’s big choices.

I think about them, like many people do – in fact, just like you do.

The big difference between having work-life balance, work-life wellness, is in the approach we take. This is a no-brainer. It’s that simple.

If we take a casual approach, we get casual results.

But Not Too Busy

Of course, we are all busy. But not too busy to seize the moment. You know how challenging this is. We all do. Sometimes we win and sometimes we get “buried”.

Last night was a “victory”.

Started the day writing five blogs, with a Pastor shadowing me. Then worked a corporate job (which I love). Then picked up our son at summer camp. Then drove to the Apple Store for a one-to-one session. Then dinner at the Mall food court. Then the long drive home.

The sun was setting as we drove through town. We stopped at the north end of town to have dessert and catch the small town parade as it passed by.

I Don’t Mind, Do You?

Being busy is really just a part of life. People have always been busy. Yet, we live like ours is the first generation to face such challenges.

Listen carefully when older people talk. Pay attention to history. You’ll discover times have always been tough, and always very busy.

When we accept this as never going away, we can begin to live. But not until then. Once we accept it, we can work real hard to figure out how to survive well, and to live well. It doesn’t require much.
