Greatest weakness

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up-The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”-Thomas Edison

He knows what he is talking about. The fabled inventor of the light bulb attempted over 1,000 variants before he got it right- and changed the world. You never know when your breakthrough will happen. However, you will always know when you break-and that is when you quit.

Have an awesome day!

Reminder if your defenses

I love this! Such a powerful reminder that no matter what, we have options and it’s the decisions of what we do with the “cards we are dealt” that determines our day, week, month, life…not the cards themselves.

Small things in a great way

“If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way”

― Martin Luther King Jr.

You may not be given the opportunity to create a great task or cause a giant impact everyday. The key is to do all the little things you can with love, service and caring, and that adds up to greatness!

Have a GREAT Wednesday!

No “royal road”

Moments

An exercise to realize how many “moments” you have:

Try the “100 blocks a day method>:

Perspective is a powerful tool when you talk about scheduling your time.

According to the writers at Wait But Why, if you sleep 8 hours a night, that leaves you with about 1,000 waking minutes a day to schedule. Or, about 100 10-minute blocks.

Lay those blocks out on a grid and ask yourself, how many are:

Put toward making your future better, and how many of them are just there to be enjoyed?

Spent with other people, and how many are for time by yourself?

Used to create something, and how many are used to consume something?

This isn’t necessarily a practice any (sane) person would go through on a daily basis, but the idea behind it is sound. Know you have a finite amount of time each day and see how many blocks you have.

Thank you Jessica K for the inspiration this morning!
