This week’s challenge: Write a letter congratulating yourself on the successes you have attained. These successes could be recent, or your entire life. You pick. It’s a great way to pump yourself up with confidence and appreciate your unique talents.
Feel free to list some of your personal accolades in the comments section. Mine is already there for your review.
Until next time…

Challenge Week of July 26, 2020 – Today or this week, learn something new. If you don’t have time to dedicate a few weeks to this, I’d suggest a Ted Talk. Ted Talks covers many topics ranging from history, to artificial intelligence, and even cooking. I challenge you to go to Ted Talks and find something to watch. I really love this resource. It’s free, informative, and will present topics that may even challenge your current way of thinking. Have fun!
Until next time…

Weekly Challenge: This week, take the time to plan something. It doesn’t matter what project it is. It could be complex or simple. Take the time to really think through the action steps and map out how you will finish this task. (Hint: I think you’ll find that you will achieve what you are looking to do much more quickly by taking the time up front to think through what you are going to do to achieve your ends).
In the comments, tell me what project you tackled and how this process helped.
Until next time…

Challenge: Take a day off. I mean it. You work hard. You are stressed out. Take a day off to do whatever you want to. Ignore your to-do list, ignore what you feel you have to do, and just do nothing. I do this every Sunday and it is so refreshing.
In the comments, tell me what you did. Did you go on an adventure? Did you relax with a good book and a beverage? Did you get a massage? What did you do on your “do nothing day”?
Until next time…

Weekly Challenge: This week, read about one person in history that you admire and want to know more about.
I read about Rudyard Kipling, who was a Noble Laureat. Rudyard Kipling is the author of The Jungle Book, for those of you who know the multiple Disney films.
Have a great Sunday, folks!
Until next time…

Weekly Challenge: This week, find one article on History, Art, Music, Poetry, or Spirituality and read it in its entirety. Pick a topic you have not read before, or you read very little of. Post the link to your article in the comments.
This is a great way to open your mind to other ideas. Have fun!
Until next time…

This week’s challenge is easy: Do something nice for your Dad or Father figure this week.
Today, we celebrate Father’s Day! My Dad loves to read, loves steak, and loves YouTube. So we got him a bunch of books from the Star Carrier Series and Mom is making Steak for dinner.
If you have any special, Father’s Day stories, feel free to share then in the comments.
Until next time…

Another week of 2020 is in the dust. This week’s challenge, should you choose to accept it: Write a letter of support to your local law enforcement. They have been getting beat up in the news and literally everywhere. I’m going to write my local P.D. and tell them how much I appreciate the work they do.
Have a great Sunday, folks!
Until next time…

Wow! Another week has passed us by. I think time flies when so many things are going on.
This week’s challenge: Watch a movie in a genre you normally would never watch. For example, if you watch a lot of action/adventure movies, watch a comedy or tear jerker (Steel Magnolias is one example).
In the comments mention the movie you watched and what you thought of it. Did it suck or were you surprised by it?
Until next time…
Dave
