There are some places where mediocrity is not tolerated, period. Work there 30 years and see who you become.
We don’t become mediocre all at once.
Yet we forget this instantly.

It’s our job as the chief executive
(photo: There are three sets of steps in a tri-level home. If you had mobility issues, what would you do if you were in your 70’s?)
Our mind, body and spirit are our responsibility.
As challenging as it is to manage this for a lifetime, we really can not expect things to get better or easier by using procrastination or quitting.
Seriously. Can we?
Life’s a bitch full of challenges.
This also is not a secret.
And it’s our job to be the exception.

Better personal organization isn’t fixed by cramming
(photo: Final photo at Office Depot last night.)
You can’t wake up one day and decide to be a writer. You must write, for years, and then decide if you will continue as a writer.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Steady.
And slow.
Maybe Definitely years to rewire our brains and fix our processes and priorities.
Be an example, not a warning.
PS. Yes, it’s hard as hell, and takes forever. The time and the struggle will pass anyway. So why not do it?

There are many adults who never tasted this enough
(photo: We wake up one day and if we’re very lucky, we’ll be happy with our everyday blessings – the ones we’ve spent our life enjoying but maybe took for granted)
Who taught you about personal responsibility when you where young?
And what are you passing on to the school-aged children in your life?
- Summer homework done in advance.
- School supplies taken care of in advance.
Teaching the upside of being done ahead of deadlines doesn’t happen until afterwards, say the first day or first week of school.
There are many adults who never tasted this enough to make it their default menu – ahead of time.

Six years of diligent personal organization led to yesterday
(photo: University of Iowa bed of Black-Eyed Susans getting ready to move to the next chapter in their life cycle)
Six years of diligent personal organization can go by rather quickly.
Time waits for no one.
Pretty decent case for initiating our biggest dreams plans in life.
How long would you be willing to persevere in order to reach a dream?
Unlikely at 16 we had the vision for what we wanted to become at 21.
Not that crazy at 49 to envision what could happen at 55.
