The blue raft has my name on it. First “dip” in 2025. Valentine’s Day eve (last night).

Why?

Why improve yourself first?

Can prioritizing be the manner?

Facebook post
Good humor never hurt anyone.

It’s not too far fetched to think that prioritizing can be the manner in which we experience the entire day.

Opposites, home

hand written note on post it
Ask senior leadership if they continually invest in training and development. Wait for their ‘no’. Then ask them, “Who communicates more about your brand than the way your front line interacts with your customers?”

i don’t have the answers, i have the questions.

Final 24 hours in Australia, home

Kangaroo scat
In the wild, it’s helpful to be able to read animal scat. Why? It alerts you of who may be nearby or ahead of you.
Clouds
In the wild, it’s helpful to be able to read the sky. Why? It alerts you to what weather you can expect. Let’s assume no internet weather updates. Photo: Our balcony last night.
8-second video: It’s official.
11-second video: The circle of life.

Reflecting on the past three weeks and the next 24 hours, this is a dominating thought about home life….

Prioritization takes focus and discipline.

Prioritization requires kindness, motivation, patience, and courage.

Priorities without kindness, motivation, patience, and courage is synonymous with sailing a ship without a rudder.

Prioritizing your priorities sets you free from imbalance.

To have focus and discipline is to have personal vibrancy Magic.

Note: We leave Mooloolaba an hour before sunrise tomorrow. Brisbane International Airport is about an hour drive south.

Live reprise

Reusing this pic. Writing things down these days is simply snapping a pic.

Yesterday three general, stereotypical places in life surfaced:

  1. Victim
  2. Ordinary
  3. Vibrancy

For optimum results, get and stay vibrant in all five of life’s big choices.

Anything less than all five will create pain points in the other four. While being vibrant in four out of five is very good (a solid B-grade at 80%), the Magic doesn’t happen until an A+ grade at 100% is achieved and maintained.

Life is hard no matter your grade.

The “hard” varies for each person, each grade.

If it’s gonna be hard, my logic is pick the good hard.
