Today Is the Maker of Tomorrow

Today Is the Maker of Tomorrow

When wisdom walks in, I give it the best seat in the house.  Such is the case for this quote. 

I can drum today because of hours of drumming in my youth, and listening to recordings of my heroes.  Mike Graham (a childhood friend-still friends) and I would slow down the recording as slowly as our record player would allow and listen intently to a particular drummer until we could mimic what he/she was doing.

I wonder if that quote is applicable to my health as well?  Probably so.  I had heart surgery 18-months ago because of too many bad choices in my years of living and eating prior to that surgery.

Moving forward, what do you and I want our lives to resemble?  The positive outcome starts today, no matter our age.

This is what is

What I Look Like Doesn't Matter

What I Look Like Doesn’t Matter

Who cares what I look like!  That’s a statement, not a question.  I’m not in a contest based on looks.  I’m in this life to do something with the gifts and qualities I possess and continue developing.  I established a long time ago that I would never be Mr. America or win the Iron Man Challenge. 

This I know … I have worth and value.  I have some skills that seem to contribute to a few people within my sphere of influence, and that is enough for me. 

And I approve of myself.  I’ve written on that topic more than a few times, and I think it is hugely important. 

Self-value is way more important than looks and popularity.

Grab onto that one and you just may become something unique in this world.

Thoughts Are Things

Thoughts Are Things

I’m fighting a small battle at the moment.  I have taken nearly four months off from my rigorous writing schedule for personal reasons.  My battle is in my mind and in my

thoughts about my writing.  Before my break from writing, I could write quickly and easily.  Now, the thoughts are coming slowly, and with more labor than before.

I’m thinking, at times, that I can’t do what I did before.  And in my heart, I reject that.  I want to write.  I desire to get back to what I was doing four months ago – which was writing one blog daily, and the fiver others were at least written weekly, and sometimes two per week.  And I was producing a weekly podcast.

And my mind is rebelling.  My thoughts are contradicting my will.  I’ve been here before.  I’ve taken other breaks from my writing and I’ve always come back stronger than before.  So, that is the thought to which I cling to now.  I think it is like a muscle that I quit using, and now that I’m back, I have to recondition those muscles. 

What an interesting dilemma.  Read along, and watch me come back.
