Some Days Are Just Good Days

Yesterday, my daughter wandered in and asked me if I had a good day. Yes. Yes I did!

“Oh,” she said, “What happened?”

Oddly enough, nothing spectacular. It was a not-too-busy day, but still filled with lots of good little things. No big events. No big projects. No surprises. Nothing spectacular.

But . . .

Wii Fit says I’ve lost a pound and a half in the last month!

I’m moving my latest book from 99.9% complete to 99.99% complete. Just waiting on two tiny things I can’t control.

I had a nice chat with someone who has been a sometimes-competitor and is now developing a new project – and wants me involved.

Then I had a nice long chat with another sometimes-competitor who has realized that we could create some amazing stuff together.

I outlined a new book I hadn’t thought about writing before. It’s now third in line on my list of products to create!

One of the organizations I’m speaking for asked me to make a connection that could lead to a much stronger relationship between two of my favorite clients.

I made a new friend that I’m certain will add fun and intellectual stimulation to the remainder of the year.

And I finished the evening with a meeting of people who get together once a month and are genuinely happy to see each other and share our victories and defeats.

So when I say nothing really happened, it was the kind of “nothing” that makes a day perfect.

Now let’s see what today brings.

The Key to Success – A Simple 44-Step Process

I won't make you go through a 44-step process. I was inspired by something I read, and want to tell you about it. Because you shouldn't be afraid of something just because it sounds big and overwhelming.

How Do You Respond to Your BIG Mistakes?

When you make big mistakes, are you more worried about your self esteem or finding the the root cause?

25 Years with Rheumatoid Arthritis – My Personal Report

When I was diagnosed, the doctor told me, basically, that I better take his advice. If the disease is not controlled within ten years, he told me, I would be too crippled to work. I'm not sure why people ignore advice like that, but I took it very seriously.

What Do You Mean by “Doing Your Best?”

Doing your best does does not mean working like crazy, all the time, always-on until you're worn out, exhausted, and no longer able to work at all.

Traveling When You’re Not In Control

Once I check in at the airport, I put myself into the loving arms of the airline. And whatever happens after that, it's their job to get me to the place I'm going.
