Life has a tendency to smack us around a bit. Like the picture above, life gives us a toss. Then we get back up and keep moving forward or we decide to stay off that crazy horse. It’s all up to us.

I choose to get up. I don’t care how many times the horse kicks me off. I’ll keep getting back on until that horse figures out that I am crazy enough to keep getting back on. I’m like the Irishmen who keeps blind-siding the bully until the bully gets tired of breaking his hands on my face.

The moral of the story: Don’t quit. Keep going. This ancient wisdom make so much sense, yet so many quit anyway.

Here’s my schedule for the week:

• Learn Spanish daily
• Python daily
• Work on my book daily
• American History daily
• Algebra daily
• MS Publisher daily
• Blog daily
• Social Media daily
• Exercise daily
• Meditate daily
• Read 1 chapter daily
• Journal daily

I hope all of you have a great week! Feliz lunes para ti (Happy Monday to you).

Until next time…

Dave

 

 

 

Daily Ramblings – Motivation Monday – Life Will Hit You

Here’s a great video to start your week.

I remember when I was in Ranger School going through the land navigation portion in the Ranger School’s zero week. It rained cats and dogs and that Georgia clay turned to glue. I was running out of time and ran the entire way back to the start point to pass the test. I passed, but the price I paid for running in the glue called mud in Georgia were two hyper-extended knees.

I said to myself, “Fuck. If these knees don’t settle down, I will wash out in the first week.” I don’t know how but in a few days my knees got better. I think this is what this video refers to. You set your sights on a goal. Everything is going well. Then…BAM!! Life beats you upside the head and says, “What you got now?” You keep pushing and the universe steps in and gives you a hand.

One of my favorite quotes is: You can’t lose if you don’t quit

It’s part of a title for the Skip Calhoun’s book, You Can’t Lose if You Don’t Quit: The Life and Times of Doyle Hall. What a great quote right? But this simple collection of seven words is the key to succeeding at anything. With that, let’s get to this week’s schedule.

This week:

• Work on Fiction Book daily
• Learn Algebra daily
• Computer Science Path daily
• Exercise Routine daily
• Meditate Daily
• Read 1 Chapter daily
• MS Publisher Class daily
• Journal Daily
• Blog Daily

Thanks for all the new followers this week and the comments. I’m enjoying the interaction and look forward to more. If any of you would like help to put together your own daily rituals, reach out. We can connect and I’ll walk you through it. It’s easy and powerful when you realize how much you can do by doing little things each day.

Well, that’s it for today. Have a great Monday, folks!

Until next time…

Dave
