Started From The Bottom
Perspective:
"As a child, I didn't know what I didn't have. I'm thankful for the challenges early on in my life because now I have a perspective on the world and kind of know what's important."

A Monk Swimming - Malachy McCourt's Memoir
Just finished reading Malachy McCourt's Memoir " A Monk Swimming". Very different than his older brother Frank McCourt's "Angela's Ashes". The memoir takes you on his wild ride, a funny and at times tragic tale well worth reading

Do the Work
This morning I did a little run/walk down by the Beach, over walkways over the PCH, up and down stairs. Beautiful path. I'm going to make it part of my exercise program but in the evening when my heart is beating faster.
Tonight I'll hit the gym for weightlifting.

Focus
It's All About What You Focus On.
I remember a story about someone learning how to drive a racing car. Every time his car approached a turn at high speeds he would look at the wall on his right and his instructor would pull his head in the opposite direction of where he needed to go. His instructor told him "you need to look in the direction you want to go. If you look in the direction of the wall you will hit the wall." A metaphor for life.

Keep Going Until...
Keep Going Until....
Reminds me of the time my daughters cockatiel flew out of his cage and on to a neighboring roof and then disappeared into the neighborhood. My daughter was crying uncontrollably and I determined I would retrieve her bird no matter what. I walked around the neighborhood for an hour hearing hundreds of birds everywhere until I heard her birds distinct chirp and finally focused in on it and discovered it under a SUV which we surrounded and got the bird back for my daughter. It's all about being determined and going until you find a way or make a way...
