How to Start over? 1.  Commit without knowing the solution 2.  Burn all bridges 3.  Be willing to learn and do whatever it takes 4.  Be willing to die doing it 5.  Never give up

Quite a remarkable process to look up and find the definition of various words in order to communicate better.  Would be nice to have an agreed to definition so that we all can communicate appropriately.  Wouldn’t it. A man last named Cassette, said once, “As soon as certain words we all think are true are communicated the concrete melts into the abstract until none of us know what the hell we are talking about if we all do know the simple meaning of a word” Diversity the state or fact of being diverse; difference; unlikeness: Equity the quality of being fair or impartial; fairness; impartiality: Inclusion the act of including. The fun part is that old dictionaries, hard bound ones, have simple definitions.  The internet (which we now all use) has very new ones.  Wonder why they are new.  So I looked into the dates the words were redefined. In 2009 -16, these three words were redefined 5 times, on the internet under the dictionary website.  In 2021 they were changed again. If rules and definitions of exact te

11 Lost Lessons worth remembering on September 11th   The enemy of a republic always is lurking Better to stay up than to fight you way back up The Love for family, country, and your swim buddy will ultimately defeat someone who hates you Freedom earned through effort is always lost by the ones who live in it Offense is always better that defense or kneeling in fear No one ever said they practiced too much or trained too much before a life event, most say they could have done more to prepare If you think being violent doesn’t solve problems you have only led a protected life Elected officials left unattended always serve themselves, and should only serve limited years There is divine hand but only when you have spent all your effort and are still trying. If you give up there is no divine hand. You are always fighting you way home. Live each day as if it matters, because it does.

Blind Spots and their impact on our every day life is a determent to success.  We all have them and few of us confront them in any meaningful way. What would you life be like if you over came your blind spots?

Motivation is the search for some external meaning or an external source to get you moving.  You know that source is rare and often doesn't last long. Inspiration is your ability to breathe life into something.  Your ability to say something is possible and of value.  Notice that you can do that whenever and where ever you want to.   When you practice inspiration you get better at taking action and better and better.

discussion of what hell week teaches warriors regarding the impact of quitting.

What would you do if you only had one day left?   Many of us think we have time. More time. Perhaps we are taught to put of today what matters because tomorrow May happen.   Do we have more time?   If you take time away, as a factor what would life be like? What would your today become?   Some how progress and upward mobile and a middle class, comfortable lifestyle seems to lead many of us to lazy.   Lazy is thinking today doesn’t matter, the more times our parents don’t wake us up the more that notion is reinforced. The snooze button is used by lazy minds who think now downs matter.   What would you do today if tomorrow wasn’t happening?   Would you dress the way you do?   Would you go to school, work?   I have asked so many people that question I now realize few are programmed to even think outside of the lazy comfortable life at all costs existence.   If you asked a cancer patient if you had one day to life what would you do or become. Now those answers are unique… I would make love until my heart explod
