In the midst

text message thread screen shot — The reply was a gut reaction. Next photo is the second gut reaction, but restrained myself from sharing it to not embarrass the sender.

post note about creativity — Common sense but rarely common.

In the midst of everything lies creativity.
dad

A client texted the top photo.

i replied (second photo).

What i wanted to add to the text but didn’t want to be overbearing (3rd pic).

How can anyone not see this?

Yet literally everyone does.

Humanity uses creativity to solve ‘problems’.

What if humanity (not just the heretics) used creativity to create opportunities.

Musk is doing it.

Jobs did it.

Walt did both.

Favorites with context

yellow flowers in a mountain setting — Waking up here and falling asleep here? Or arriving midday for a look and a stroll through the gift shop for a t-shirt? Photo: Many Glacier Hotel.

Grinnell Glacier trail is my favorite. But only when we are the first ones on the trail before sunrise.

If i never try anything, i never learn anything. If i never take a risk, i stay where i am.

Home invisibility

Home vibrancy habits are invisible. This is why home vibrancy is considered a myth.
dad

No one sees the work vibrant people do at home. This is why vibrant prioritized priorities seem nearly impossible.

On being an elder, at home

USA Track & Field notice — Rarely schedule TV watching at home. Yet exceptions exist, like The USATF Indoor Nationals. Know what inspires you and balance it with all your other responsibilities.

Embrace your unconventional priorities. For me, it’s my salvation.
dad

You know how many people you know who run their life like a business?

That’s right, none.

(That’s my educated guess after dedicating my life to the topic of personal vibrancy.)

i am an unconventional exception–i run my life like a business.

Note: If you are running your life like a business, you should text me +1 407-538-4341 and boldly state it in a way that is believable to an ‘artist’ like me.

Bathrooms and toilets

Dinner plate full of food — First home cooked meal in three weeks. Wonderful.

Apple reminder — Texted the outcome to the college buddy who asked me to check.

We become what we repeatedly do.
dad

Habits are what we think and do without thinking.

Habits can be by design or by default.

Disney taught me to over-focus on being intentional.
