Adventure Wanted

Monday, February 28th, 2011

As I look back over my recent posts, I’ve noticed a disturbing theme: I’m not going on many adventures recently. Certainly not as many as I would like. So far as I can tell, there are three main reasons for this: Lack of money Lack of time Focusing on big adventures These are all pretty [...]

Doing Stuff

Monday, February 21st, 2011

I’m an information junkie who loves to research and read. I dive headfirst into whatever the new topic that catches my attention is, reading everything that I can about it: subscribing to blogs, reading books, checking out magazines, and talking to people about it. What does all that information do? Unfortunately, as good as I [...]

Sometimes We Need Help

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

When I looked back over January to see how I’d been progressing on my goals, I felt good about having made solid progress on many of them. A few, however, weren’t quite working out as I’d planned. My fitness goal, for example, has gone exactly no-where. After two work-outs, nothing more has been done. And [...]

Do the Impossible

Friday, February 11th, 2011

“Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ~The Queen, Through the Looking Glass Reading Subliminal Captivity: Why We Tell Ourselves To Give Up made me begin thinking about the things that I can’t do. Did you know that you can’t ride a motorcycle year round in central Kentucky? Apparently it’s really [...]

Can’t Never Could

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Dad always had a ready response any time he heard me say “I can’t do it!” Can’t never could. Even though I strongly disliked that phrase as a teenager, those three words contain a lot of wisdom. “I can’t start my own business.” “I can’t lose any weight.” “I can’t support myself as an artist.” [...]

Cutting the Digital Cord

Monday, February 7th, 2011

I spend way too much time on my computer. (Which I’ve mentioned before, more than once.) And I’m getting tired of it. Recently, I’ve noticed that I have to “entertain” myself with my computer. Bored? I waste time playing a game. Supposed to be doing homework? I put it off reading blogs. Working on my [...]

Do Something Just Because

Friday, February 4th, 2011

It’s easy to get caught up in your daily routine. Today, you should take a moment to do something that you enjoy, just for the sake of it. You don’t have to spend a lot of time on this, or even complete whatever you are working on. Just spend enough time that it makes you [...]

Are Your Goals Progressing?

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

January is now over. Traditionally, most people’s resolutions have been forgotten (or will be in the next two weeks). Fortunately, we didn’t make resolutions. We made an Action Plan! How are you doing? If you took the time to create an action plan, and set up a system that would enable you to automatically work [...]
