When Do You Find The Time?

We All Have An Undeniable "Spirit"
We All Have An Undeniable "Spirit"

Undeniably, we have a body. And a mind. And a job.

We also have a spirit.

Our bodies, our minds, our careers grow and thrive in direct proportion to our efforts to nurture and strengthen them.

Same with our spirit. I’m amazed at the sheer volume of distractions that medicate us into complacency. Where do you “worship”?

When do you find the time?

Rest On Sunday?

Real Life, In Real Time (September 25, 2010)
Real Life, In Real Time (September 26, 2010)

Resting on Sunday (Sabbath) sure looks good on paper. Saturday night I was thinking about the two speeches I would deliver yesterday (Sunday) morning.

There is a certain anxiety that accompanies a public speaker’s life. Large or small audiences, it doesn’t matter. Everyone is expecting you to be smart, and hopefully, funny.

The first speech, a reading from the book of the prophet Amos, was 90 seconds, delivered to an audience of hundreds.

The second speech, the Homily, was seven minutes, delivered to 60 children from kindergarten to 5th grade. It was in a separate building, a few minutes after the first.

Unlike today’s point at Mid Life Celebration, I didn’t tell our son (10) “why” I worked so hard on a Sunday. Well, not until dinner last night.

Even Jesus had to explain (defend) why he worked (helped others) on Sunday.

You now exactly what it’s like. Most of the work we do to serve others looks easy and natural.

Can we all agree it would have been so much easier to sleep in?

When you are an entrepreneur

When you are an entrepreneur, there is no theory.

All there is is try and then learn.

Launch, learn, revise.

Repeat.

Launch, learn, revise.

All the people who dream of how things can be different where they work – well, they have no idea.

September 2010 weekends were made for creativity

September 2010 weekends were made for creativity.

Writing on the weekends but not posting was a super creative way to keep the daily writing streak alive.

It was more than a year of using WordPress before i learned how to schedule future posts.

So yeah, 3k posts seemed monumental.

As i creatively correct the Word Press calendar tallies (now, November 24, 2017), i’ve already passed the 15,000 blog post milestone.

Crazy.

Disney: Let The Memories Begin

Disney announced yesterday a new corporate campaign to help people all over the world have fun together. It’s called Let The Memories Begin.

And also yesterday, I was telling a fellow blogger that people think I don’t need to worry about my health, because I’m so physically fit.

And then another person joined in our conversation, commenting on my optimism. And after she left, I told my friend, “Same thing with attitude. I just work hard at it. ALL DAY, EVERYDAY”.

Happy people have to work hard at being happy. Many people don’t believe this.

Disney’s philosophies and Disney’s products are one of the tactics you can use to stay focused on the positive. Don’t believe me? Click here.
