Pressure Test of "Shut Up and Keep Focused On the Future"
My last entry is about not letting naysayers and people who aren't aligned with your goals into your head. The point is to stay motivated and focused on what matters. The following is an exact transcript of what happened today and it serves as a reminder as to why it is so important to stay focused, ignore the fluff, and keep moving forward.

Shut up & keep focused on the future
I just accepted a position that I perceive as a huge step forward in life. This role checks off everything that I've wanted in a career in my life. It makes rational sense and "emotional" sense, as in it feels good to do this job. I don't share this to brag or seek out congratulations from the few people who still read this.

Change is not an event, it is a process
My calendar today says, "Change is not an event, it is a process." I disagree to an extent.
When I reflect on my life I realize that every time I've driven a change it has been a slow, methodical, and highly effective process. Every time I've misread the signs, was complacent, and change happened to me, it was a sudden, difficult, and complicated ( Read more... ) -
Steve 101

Why is it that more clarity of thought, more intense emotion, more thankfulness and blessed states overcome me at night?
Why is it that I'm ( Read more... ) -

Facebook Games Rant
Stop sending me game requests on Facebook! Stop. I have more important things to do than cultivate your crops or prove to you that I do know more than Jack. I don't care if you take that as if I'm suggesting that you DON'T have more important things to do than to play Facebook games for hours on end. I didn't say that, but I don't care if you take ( Read more... ) -
I Believe...
at my work, staff isn't allowed to sit at the bar at any point in time. however, the "higher-ups," like the CEO, and the owners, ARE allowed to sit at the bar for any reason. after hearing me rant about "the principle" of the situation (i believe that in order for the staff to truly respect upper management, management should set an example for us ( Read more... )
