Be great and lousy

laundry line at high mountain chalet — Wore everything up to Granite Park Chalet. It was freezing. Hiking four miles and 2,400′ elevation gain was a sweaty trek. Air is what launders merino wool.

Habits happen by design and by default. By design is hard. By default is easy. Be great at hard work and lousy at easy work.

This website is about our HOME. This is the fifth of five daily, differently-themed blog posts about: (1) mind, (2) body, (3) spirit, (4) work, (5) home. To return to Mid Life Celebration, the site about MIND, click here.

Everyday stories

adult humor gag gift — From the same Sanibel Island gift shop…different day and year – insanely random. The context here is that you never have to talk about your “workouts”. Your strength, flexibility, endurance, smile…they all kinda snitch on you about your workouts.

Tell a great story today, no words.

The will to explore at home

On a scale of 1-10, 10 is best.

What’s your number?

Home life hack, aim for a perfect 10.

Adventure awaits. Uncharted territory awaits. Growth awaits. Even at home. Always at home.

Regret proves this

Gaping Void art — In our Son’s dorm room. Starting out, working for money is important. At some point it should not be. Regret is never figuring this out.

Regret is our proof that common sense is elusive.

Move from mind to heart

Never asked Marty for an autograph. Never. Sent him the pic because that’s one of the ways i go the extra inch – surprising and delighting others in small, unexpected ways. Just an email thanking him for his wisdom, time, and the paper copy of his speech. That’s common, but adding a photo to rekindle the smiles/moment…that’s exceeding expectations.

Biggest barrier to world class performance is believing in your mind you can be world class, but not believing it in your heart. To believe it in your heart will require your best effort every single day.
