i’m not here to tell you you need to change

LinkedIn status update with Ghandi quote
Top update…The timing of yesterdays LinkedIn update was wonderful.

 

My top priority yesterday was to have the entire room .think .differently

Ghandi said something similar, years before yesterday’s speech:

A principle is a principle and in no case can it be watered down because of our incapacity to live it in practice. We have to strive to achieve it, and the striving should be conscious, deliberate, and hard.

After a lifetime of being addicted to quotes, i rarely use quotes anymore. Yet this one is part of the reason the word exception was created.

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.

The fear of mattering

The fear of mattering is powerful enough to scare us into playing it safe.

We lean on our fairly disorganized life to create the perfect alibi for why we never come alive.

We take this to our grave.

i’ve organized every day (for 6+ years) to begin with two hours of thinking, reading, praying, and writing – for anyone with the guts to listen.

Without soul, nothing much matters

Teddy Bear in Mickey Mouse Sweatshirt
Who carries a child’s teddy Bear on every trip? Is that soul?

 

When it comes to being decently organized at home, we all know what we should do, but without soul, we are not driven to persevere in doing it. Make sense? Look at it from a business perspective and it should become crystal clear.

If your organization doesn’t have a soul, then there’s nothing for your employees to protect. With nothing to protect, what’s the point?
