A Monday Motivational Haiku

Now I am awake
Listening to the birds sing
Preparing to DO!

Time to move, to grow, act and move. Go and DO something you can brag about. 

Quote of the Day: Lessons Always Arrive

Our job? Just be focused on the present, on the now. There’s plenty to learn by DOING. 

Anyway, welcome to the middle of the week. Let’s go doing something wonderful!

A Meditation On Motivation 

​The question you should be asking isn’t “what do I want?” or “what are my goals?” but “what would excite me?”

~Tim Ferris

I’m still not sure what it is “I want”, in terms of a long-range vision. Or, more specifically, what it’s is I don’t want. Rejecting ideas, goals, opportunities is what’s hard for me. It’s hard to say “no” to opportunities, even ones that haven’t materialized, or even transitioned slightly from concept to reality.

Having too many things on your to-do list is a sure way to fail at everything.

Saying “No” is the kernel of planning, of living a life of vision, mission and purpose.

When we think in terms of excitement and energy, the challenge of choice changes. I find it much easier to deselect things that don’t energize me. That are boring, draining. Cool sounding things often change when we consider the actual work.

Spend as much time as possible doing activities which give you strength, energy and life.

Tonight’s haiku is about learning from your mistakes

Learn from your mistakes
Stand up, smarter and wiser
Springtime approaches

The powerful thing one can do when facing mistakes is to taste a moment and absorb the learning. Let that mine in to your core, change you, make you wiser. That’s the kernel of humility. 

Relearning to Dream Boldly

A New Day 

A new beginning
Intersecting new with old
Moving forward now


A new work week starts. What will you accomplish?

Another #Monday #Motivational #Haiku 

Monday’s come and go

Each one birthing potential 

Opportunities

Uninspiration

Uninspiration
Dryness of my soul
Seeps downwards
Deep within, then
Gently tapping upon
My roof, winter rain.
Roots healed and
Life returns.
