Just 1%

What if we just tried to do 1% better today?

Just attempt to be 1% better at our jobs, our hobbies, our parenting, our friendships, our exercise regimen, our role as humans?

Seems pretty easy and simple to me.

Too often we put big demands on ourselves, to take drastic steps toward improvement. But consistency rules all.

If we can work in improving in smaller chunks everyday, we will be tremendously better than if we attempt to take large jumps.

We can stick with 1% for sure!

So get out there and give me 1% more πŸ˜€

Happy Monday!

Drive your own car, Captain!

When you are driving down the highway, do you pull up next to the person driving in the next lane and try to figure out how they are driving?

Where are their hands positioned?

Are their windows down?

What temperature do they keep their air conditioning at?

What sort of music are they listening to?

Of course not!

You need to worry about how you drove your own vehicle.

The point is, no one can drive/walk/live your life except you! So why do we compare ourselves to others?

We should definitely learn from other’s mistakes and successes, sure, but ultimately we need to be at the helm of our own lives.

Get driving, because only YOU can take YOU to where YOU want to go!

Happy driving (might I suggest jamming to this song by The Surfaces? Just a suggestion, feel free to skip it, Captain πŸ‘¨β€βœˆοΈ)

Have a glorious Wednesday!

Your smile changes the world

Especially fitting during these times.

Your smile can change the world! It can light up someone’s day, it can push away the dark.

Just make sure you are using that gift and not letting it go dormant.

Complacency kills.

We need to arm ourselves with more positivity and more light in order to push back the dark.

So πŸ˜€πŸ˜πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ™‚πŸ˜ all you can today πŸ™‚

Great words from Tony Robbins

So #true!

The human race has survived/thrived through an innumerable amount of catastrophes, turmoils, and tragedies.

But the simple fact that we are here proves that we shall always overcome.

Love thy neighbor (from afar), use this time to grow your mind, read, write, sing, dance. Connect with your families. Discover new things.

This too shall pass and we will all be stronger.

With love,

Hello everyone!

These are strange days indeed.

The Covid-19 epidemic is a scary one.

BUT WE CAN’T LET FEAR DRIVE OUR BUS.

Be cautious. Stay at home. Wash your hands. Eat well. Drink well. Think well. Maintain your health.

MAINTAIN YOUR SANITY!

It is ok to read up on the spread of the virus. Just don’t get caught up in it.

Make the most of the time you have at home with your families.

In some respects, you are gaining time to do things that you’ve always wanted to do, but have never had time for.

Jon Gordon (a tremendous motivational speaker/author) wrote The Energy Bus when during a personal crisis his world “slowed down” and he was able to write the book in 3.5 weeks. Since then the book has sold an unimaginable amount of copies, and launched a world-wide speaking and writing career for him.

By all means, social distance, but that opens to door to form better, stronger connections with our loved onesΒ  we are close to.

Write letters to people that have influenced and inspired you in your lifetime.

Thank your parents.

Video call the grandparents.

Send thank you cards to veterans that have helped solidify our freedoms.

Write a book.

Write some poetry.

Sing songs. Even if it’s just in the shower.

Download audiomixing software and become your own DJ.

TikTok?

Dust off those old board games and play as a family.

Meditate.

Exercise.

Figure out what you do so well that others will want to see/read/hear how you do it and spread that around. Teach others via social media/email/video.

Re-organize your living space. Feng some serious Shui in your domicile!

Paint, color, draw…

Don’t let this time stifle your growth, instead allow it to be a vector to it’s spread!

And for goodness sakes, stop hoarding all the T.P!. πŸ™‚

I love you all.

This too shall pass.

You build your own walls

IMG_2561.JPG

Many times, we are responsible for the limits we have in life, because in fact… we put them there.

Our self-doubt, our desire to stay within our comfort zone (not expand our horizons), our routines, our beliefs… all of these are bricks in the walls we build to stay right where we are.

Take some time to notice the bricks you build, and then get to work knocking them down!

Happy Monday!

Never made a mistake?

This was sent to my by a good friend this morning (thanks Hartman). His dad took a picture of it on his travels.

And Thanks to Albert for the reminder of this simple truth.

In order to grow, we have to fail, we have to make mistakes.

The key to growth is the fall and the DECISION to get back up and keep going.

March on my friends!
