Big, epic failures are great catalysts

YuGiOh Tournament
Last weekend at YuGiOh Tournament. He inspired, and inspires, the prolific writing.

 

So yeah, it’s pretty insane.

And to be clear from a business perspective, this blog is unrelated to my speaking mission.

But seriously then, why blog so prolifically?

Well, i began blogging on April Fools Day 2009 as a 100-day self-imposed writer’s boot camp.

Driven by the realization that a book i had promised to write 30 years prior hadn’t had it’s first sentence written yet.

Is organization also to be considered in terms of our emotions and joy?

And if yes, what’s the benefit?

When we see something big coming, can we plan (should we plan) some amazing celebration?

Or just be quietly thankful?

Probably that.

But it doesn’t feel quite right.
