The paradox of fear and excitement

Cinderella Castle art
Two days ago at Epcot’s Art of Disney Store. Chances are my new logo may have a castle turret in it.

 

The paradox of fear and excitement.

The annual salary for a contracted project manager is astonishing, and leaves me afraid of not being able to afford it.

Conversely…

The annual contracted salary is exciting because it represents unlimited opportunity to grow my business’s marketing in ways i could never do alone.

It’s been an interesting phenomenon to enjoy a 100% referral and returning client base.

The time to worry about the future is when you don’t need to. That would be now.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

We all want it, but we basically want it to be easy

Paradoxical that the idea of being decently organized appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting, and staying, organized appeals to so few.

i’ve lived on this planet long enough to know without a doubt that my life is infinitely easier when i’ve been organized versus disorganized.

i caught myself because in the moment i was organized

Management quote
This was a sign. A good sign.

 

i caught myself because, in the moment, i was organized.

Organized with my temptation.

Wait. What?

Yes, temptation.

So, i quickly paused and let her answer her question first. She asked me:

What did you think of the speaker?

As i began to answer, i stopped and redirected it back to her, and her answer echoed my own first impressions.

Inspiration often lacks a plan, or as i like to call it, organizational architecture.

Because she said it first…

It brought me great solace.

And yes, i’m leaving something out intentionally. Please feel free to use your imagination.

It’s so tedious, i run from it now

Quote about passion
From Facebook yesterday.

 

If we work to avoid criticism, we deny the beauty and greatness of what we set out to create when our youthful dreams ran wild and free.

 

Hello.

It’s difficult to gain busy people’s attention.

And i’m not very good at it.

Why?

Because it doesn’t light my fire.

In fact, it’s so tedious, i run from it now.

But when i first began blogging in 2008, i thought if you wrote it, people would come.

Now i realize that can’t be the goal (for starters, it’s a lie – most bloggers fail miserably, and then quit).

So what is the goal from writing everyday? The goal is to suck the marrow out of life. To live a life with no regrets. Writing somehow magically ignites that.

We’re all busy bees aren’t we?

Today’s five (differently-themed) posts have a hidden message in what would appear, to a person in a hurry, to be a boring personal account of one single day.

The people who will benefit from the hidden message will find this voice comforting, and quite possibly inspiring.

It ain’t for everyone.

In fact, i’m certain that only dreamers, misfits, rebels, and the more recently coined “outliers” will find refuge and hope here.

If you’ve made it this far, smile and pat yourself on your back.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.

Now go, your day is waiting for you.

Theory this

Publix sweet cream butter
No longer using processed margarine. Suger elimination is on the radar as well.

 

Over the years, we develop theories about what we are capable of – and then we spend the rest of our days trapped in these theories.

Seven months without coffee or diet coke.

More than a month of zero emails for in-box, sent, and deleted folders.

And i told myself, “Never in a million years.”

So, a new question to keep asking myself, “What else are you carrying around that you believe to be impossible, you know, a theory?”
