Consistency, Goals, Keep Pushing, motivation, rituals, You can do it

Well, my Mom returned late last night from a trip to Texas and things are back to normal in the Gardner home. While she was gone, I took care of my Dad, who has been suffering from Dementia for a few years. He is still able to do most things, but he has to be watched.

Recently, we had to get him set up with physical therapy, because he has been stumbling around and falling. The doc told us his quadriceps and muscles surrounding his hips have become significantly weak, so Dad is going to PT twice a week for the next month.

I didn’t get much sleep last night, but today’s tasks are waiting, so I’ll make this a brief one today.

Here’s my schedule:

  • Blog Daily
  • Code Daily
  • Work on Book Daily
  • Read Daily
  • Exercise Daily
  • Meditate Daily
  • Journal Daily
  • Learn Daily

I hope all of you have a terrific week!

Until next time…

Dave

Aldous Huxley, Goals, Keep Pushing, Setting Goals

Today’s Quote:

“Every ceiling, when reached, becomes a floor, upon which one walks as a matter of course and prescriptive right.” – Aldous Huxley

Have you ever achieved a goal, only to find out there was something above that to reach for? This is what this quote means to me and it is so true.

I set a lot of goals in the gym. I want to bench press this by this date, etc. Well, once you achieve a certain weight, we don’t stop. We push to the next weight and the next and the next…ad infinitum.

The same goes with setting any goals. Who wants to sit down and stop moving forward? Not me. I’m sure this does not apply to you either. The goals you set yesterday become the floor you spring from to your next goal.

Have a great Saturday! I’m hanging out with my brother and niece who are visiting from Phoenix, AZ to get a break from the heat.

See you tomorrow…
