The Daily Grind

Why do we see everyday as work?

Everything we need to do is work.....what do we consider life - doing nothing? Is that really life?

Einstein said that if you wake up every morning and spend your days doing what you love - you never have to work a day in your life. 

But even love takes work.

Think about it - can you drive your economic engine from doing what you love only? Doesn't the limitation to making a living out of doing what you love come from fast forwarding to the fantasy of the end goal but never looking at what the daily routine must be to make that end goal a reality?

Do a simple exercise in critical questioning:

- How much do I want to make on a monthly, annual basis?

- How can what I love doing make me that amount?

- What do I need to do to make that a reality?

- What would my day have to look like? 

- What type of daily activities would I have to be involved in to make it?

- Would I be able to withstand hardship, criticism and ridicule to get to this aim?

Once you have that clearly defined then ask yourself - "If I did all this - would I still love what I am doing?"

If the answer is yes - then go for it! 

Cause that's TRUE LOVE.

Remember - LOVE is a doing word first - then a feeling one.

 

The Game of Life

The simplest plays are the hardest.

The easiest losses come from the simplest mistakes.

And the greatest wins come from executing the fundamentals consistently.

The greatest discipline in life is living a disciplined life.

Genius is finding simplicity on the other side of complexity

So what am I saying? 

The toughest part of the game of life is living simply everyday in a disciplined manner.

It also happens to be the only winning game plan.

Welcome to The Universe Inside

It has been said by many an author and mentor and coach and role model that all you need to be successful is to control thyself. Simple? Yes. Easy? No.

All popular teaching leads or points to leading from the inside out. 

This is part of the purpose of this blog. 

I am on an eternal journey to the center of the universe - The Universe Inside.

I want to share my journey, my traveling notes and to hear from fellow journeymen (and women ;-0) as we explore the place only we know.

Please join me and add your thoughts to my thoughts and hopefully what we will end up with is a comprehensive field guide to the Universe Inside.

I will discuss things like personal leadership, visioning, success, drive, innovation, action and discipline.
