Third Power Life

After a stop at Burger King, and in my classic "over the top" greeting of "thank you sir" I realized that I was assuming the employee's gender.. And in today's world, that is not ok…  

So I was asking my son if there was a gender neutral formal greeting, and he said his generation doesn’t do formal… (he is 16)

I asked my daughter, and she pointed me to something new! There IS a formal gender-neutral title. Mx.

You have Mr., Miss or ms., Mrs, and Mx…

So cool!

My reading from the Daily Stoic today was all about Love.

The quote that stood out for me from the excerpt was "There is almost No Situation Where Hatred Helps".. It really struck me..

Then I thought that we can replace 'hatred' with 'stress' in that statement.. There is no situation where being stressed out is going to help you.. So let it go… and just love yourself…

So finally got the doctor's approval to go back to the gym. It is amazing how much I missed it!

I share how it felt to get back to the gym.. 

Even after I questioned "why did I do this to myself??"

I have been going through a training for Russel Brunson's clickfunnels 2.0 launch. One of the speakers today was Garrett White, and he was giving advice to one of the participants about how they need to publish/go live every day.  He shared his 4 part framework for a quick (5 min) podcast, and I absolutely loved it…

What happened?

Why was that significant?

What was the lesson?

How can they apply it in their life?

I will be using this myself to help bring story into my podcast.

There are so many pressures on us in this world today, and most of them are trying to have us conform our standards to what "society" or "corporate culture" or even our friends/family thinks we should be.

Why I push so hard for finding your Personal Purpose is it helps you set standards for yourself and hold to them.

Great quote by Zig Ziglar "Lack of Direction, Not Lack of Time, is the Problem. We all have 24 hours in our day"

We have all said "I don't have time". The reality is, we all have time, it is what priorities we use to allot our time.

We all get inspiration.. And we say to ourselves "I will remember that"… No.. No you won’t..

This is why I keep a journal with me at all times. Every time I get an idea, I write it down!

Capture all your inspirations! The more you capture them and follow through with them, the more you will be given!

Liminal Spaces… Liminal space is a place of transition, a threshold between two points, signaling the end of one time or space, and the beginning of another. 

The space between what was and what is to come..

In horror movies, the scariest part is not where the bad guy/thing jumps out at us.. It is in the lead-up… the tension builds…

Following our quest is the same.. In order for us to make progress, we have to leave what "was" behind and move into "what is to come"…  This is where the fear awaits…

We must have the courage to pass through these spaces to have success…

I love spending time in airports… I alyways get to meet interesting people.

One of the people I met on Friday was a nice lady headed back to Florida.. She was on the standby list and I could access the standby list on my Delta app… (She was the last one on the list)

We started talking about work, and how she would really like the ability to work remotely, but right now she just works at a big retailer and it doesn’t seem possible.

My message was simple. Stay positive! And limitations are self-imposed. It is entirely possible to find something you love to do in a remote position. Will it be easy, will it be on the first try? Of course not. But if you set your purpose in a direction, you will be amazed with where things will take you.

Imagine trying to break through a wall… If we get a really bright light bulb, even with a lot of energy, we are not going to make any progress. But, if we take all that energy and focus the light into a laser beam, we can burn through it in short order.

When we try to do many things our energy is dispersed and we do not make any real forward progress. We need focus.
