best day

i want my best day
to be the one where i take
my last breath on earth.


more motivation?

well my blog experiment seems to be evolving into a personal motivation site. i am ok with that of course, as i can use all the motivation i can get to accomplish my goals and leave my mark on this world. daily goals, weekly goals and yearly goals… short term and long. this, for today, seems to be my best answer to the question of how do i put my all into every day. i want to be creative, but i also have committments i need to honor. boiling things to their essence while staying active. this is my struggle. what is yours?


goooooooaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllls

i have been a very avid goal-writer since 2007. these goals are all over the map, but the help me keep my focus on what is important for me in the long term. when in doubt, shout them out? boiling everything down to it’s essence is so much easier said then done. how can i get there?


the other shoe

i’m filling in for my boss (and dad) this week while he is out of town. it is good to get a look into what his day is really like. for the record, it’s busy. but experiencing first hand will hopefully help me to figure out better ways to help streamline his day and take some work off of his plate. he’s done everything for me, now it’s my turn to take the load.


bad week.. how to rebound?

well after a great stretch of hard work and accomplishing things, i had a clunker of a week. living in the present should be my salvation, but it is tough when i know there is so much i’ve committed to doing and i’m not much closer to delivering. i need to not overcommit, but i also get restless when i undercommit. again, the middle path is the easiest, yet i find ways to go the long, hard way. trust the way, find your Buddha-nature. next is holding on.. the hard part.


today will be a good day

you heard it here. work will happen, quality of course. somedays i’m concerned with my creative output, so yesterday i put other things aside. i feel good, not too tired. now to stick my hand in my heart and spill it all over the stage… or at least my desk.


tuesday hangover

having a hard time waking up today. i slept a long time, but i must still need some recovery time. stretching always helps, if i could only figure out a way to do that everyday i’d probably be much more alert and active. one day at a time.


another week

here i go again, on my own.


motivation

as i learn more about the Tao, I am more and more dedicated to centering myself. but some days it is very difficult. where do i find consistent motivation? being tired is the #1 enemy. but how do i get passed being tired? no mind, no ego is much more of a challenge when i am tired. i recognize this, but that doesn’t seem to help me overcome it always. wwjd?


from here on out

well i’ve decided to try and make use of this blog more. i’m not sure where it will go or what it will entail, but step 1 is posting daily. i find myself wanting to write a story of some sort, maybe i can start a chapter a day here. all in all i want this blog to take over the world, but i can’t really say i know how that will happen. maybe my jokes will be so funny, or my stories so intriguing it will explode all by itself. of course probably not. anyway wish me luck and i hope my innermost thoughts don’t scare you off.
