Were you born to do this?

teddy bear on track and field lane 8 — You know this photo and the story behind it. Lane 8, worst lane, in the finals, at the world championships. Not caring if you finish last. Why? You can come in last which means you are the eighth fastest human on the planet.

What do you think you were born to do?

Have you ever asked yourself this?

Have you ever been asked this?

Either way, do you have a ready and convicted answer?

When you can say, repeatedly, “yes!”, you are a leader who is striving to change the world.

Even if it’s only “your world”.

Handwritten notes on a piece of paper — Things that add to your paperwork of life. Travel. United States column and Australia column. January was a busy ‘work’ month. Had many calls to coordinate.

Australian university info sign — Very first UniSC photo. Local and regional customs, mandates, laws, etc, can change from what you know at home.

Family of three posing on a college campus — Second UniSC campus photo.

College campus safety info board — Tenth UniSC campus photo.

Prepaid mobile phone plan receipt — A day later. Grateful each of our phones had e-sim capability. Looking back, it was way too involved to establish an Australian mobile account. We physically had to go to a store and work with an associate. It was cumbersome and clunky. But it had to get done.

Australian equivalent of 911 — Something as simple and routine as calling 9-1-1 is different here. Better know this before you need it. Australia’s 911 is 0-0-0.

AMP.

Means what?

Always More Paperwork.

Life’s In-Box.

It ebbs and flows as you ebb and flow through life.

It ends when you end.

Note: i’m banking on a plan that will minimize any in-box surprises for whomever is the Executor of my will.

Happy winter 2024, home

Winter happens every year. It’s never a surprise. We always know it’s coming. The closer you are to the Equator, the more blurred the seasonal lines become. Let’s think about how we traditionally spend our winters…

Ever think of yourself as the CEO of You, Inc?

If yes, why?

If no, why?

Let’s assume a few things:

Only one person is in charge of your life
Who do most people think is in charge of their life
Who do you think is in charge of your life
Everything in your life is your fault
Everything in your life is your success

We become what we think about.

Intentionally or unintentionally.

Can you imagine the difference between the two approaches?
