Guessing i don’t owe you anything

quick books note
Slate is clear. It’s a new year to do what feels right and good.

The 2018 creative endeavor is done.

The goal: do something i’ve never done before. No expectation from anyone to react to my new behavior. None. You can never try something new if you aren’t willing to live with the consequences.

It sheds light and illuminates life with richer clarity than before.

With:

  • my personal Facebook account with only blood relatives and a handful of HS & College (40+ years relationships) friends
  • with texts
  • with emails
  • with phone calls

i didn’t initiate.

For a year.

The big reveal?

This was ok.

Why?

No one noticed.

No Facebook inquiries, no texts, no emails, no phone calls.

Turns out, what i felt guilty about, i didn’t need to feel guilty about.

Such a delightful surprise.

If the phone doesn’t ring, it’s me.

i hear you loud and clear too.

Glad this is okay on both sides.

All that worrying for nothing.

Freedom.

Gratitude.

Update (today, March 2): it’s now been 14 months, not 12.

What happens next?

Winter Garden Florida
Downtown Winter Garden, Florida. Yesterday, December 22, 2018.

What happens next?

What?

When you think about how you’d like to be and you think about how it currently is.

What happens next?

No pain no gain

behaviors trump intentions
Behaviors trump intentions. You can (and should) organize your mantras.

No pain no gain.

My profession has a Hippocratic oath.

  • To offer the very best treatment.
  • Remain confidential.
  • Teach the next generation of teachers.

Medicine and medical treatment scares many.

This is why people fear hospitals.

To regain health, the unhealthy parts must be eradicated.

Unhealthy and unproductive habits and rituals that do not serve a person or an organization are the business equivalents of the medical profession.

The highlight of the day yesterday, by far, was my wife coming into the office at 5:15AM and saying she was heading down(stairs).

“Heading down” is code for let’s go do our daily run.

Yes, 5:15AM, on a Monday, in the cold (for us) and dark.

And by the way, 5:15AM, Monday through Friday is our routine, since August 2018.

Beginning at 5:00AM when i awoke yesterday, i was so wrapped up in catching up after being in South America last week that i had actually forgotten about the morning run.

Being on time is a challenge for everyone

Being on time is a challenge for everyone.

It’s not impossible to be on time.

But you do have to change the way you live your life.

Some starters:

  • Leave early.
  • Plan travel time based on the speed limit then add another 10 minutes.
  • Make 10 minutes early as “on time”.
  • Make “on time” as late.
  • And make “late” unacceptable.

Clear expectations and predictable accountability always yield much better results than unclear expectations and little to no accountability.

Sometimes, the obvious is too unpleasant to think about and too challenging to put into habitual practice.
