  1. An #Eastern approach would be more like if you haven't learned how to keep #quiet while you're doing everything then you have a lot of work to do to become #present. Find the thing that works for you to tell yourself to get #control of your #mind and that means it will be quiet except when needed.

  2. Some days, you just don't want to be busy. Efficient. Pro-active. Intentional. Purpose driven. Or driven in any fashion.

  7. Meereslandschaft mit Mühle (Seascape with Mill), Béla Spányi

    I think I could have this on the wall for life, I can imagine being in this place and just spacing out for a while. Very peaceful. Makes me want to smoke a cigarette for some reason, maybe I still associate this kind of mental space with having a little break time.

    We have this kind of overcast weather here today. ❤️

  12. They liked freshness and beauty and peace, whether they were in their home, or hiking out in the wilderness.

    So when they couldn't be out in the wilderness, they brought it into their home.

  13. “Always know that real progress is often invisible, boring, repetitive.” - Futurist Jim Carroll

    Your success will often not involve huge home runs that have you cheering with joy. It will come about through small bunts, working the bases, advancing slowly but surely towards a goal, and muttering about the pace.

    Treat your progress as such.

    Right now, this can be a challenge. After all, we live in a "highlight reel" culture. We see the successful keynote, the published book, or the smooth career pivot and assume that it all happened in a flash of inspiration. But in my 36-year voyage, I’ve learned that the most profound breakthroughs and the biggest wins are rarely the result of a sudden lightning bolt. They are the result of the quiet, daily discipline of showing up when it feels like nothing is changing. Playing the clubs. Putting in the work. Advancing slowly but steadily.

    I did a lot of small events in rural America and small towns in Canada before I hit the big stages of Las Vegas. It was often boringly dull, excruciatingly tiring, and sometimes, with a detached audience, not terribly motivating. But through that, I learned that success is often built on "invisible progress." The small steps that get you closer to a big goal.

    For me, success and learning are about the hundredth hour spent in the lab struggling with a Linux configuration.

    It’s the years of writing a Daily Inspiration post without missing a single workday.

    It’s the repetitive act of studying a disruptive trend long before the world notices it.

    It was spending time on stages that sometimes I did not want to be on.

    Most people quit during this "boring" phase. They mistake the lack of immediate feedback for a lack of progress. They want the dopamine hit of a "win" every day. But as a practitioner, you have to realize that you are building up your skills, capabilities, and knowledge.

    The amateur waits for the quick hit.

    The master relies on patience and effort.

    Success isn't a sprint; it’s the compound interest of your daily discipline.

  14. "Success will often depend on what you choose to ignore.” - Futurist Jim Carroll

    If you follow me, you will know I'm very big on not following big hype. Far too many trends are overplayed and overemphasized, and yet under-reach with unrealistic potential.

    Why is that? Because I've seen over and over and over again what happens when excessively hyped trends don't become real in the short term. But here's a fun fact - I also believe the observation by Bill Gates that we tend to overestimate the impact of a trend in the short term, but underestimate it's impact its impact in the long term.

    Which means timing is everything!

    So let's put this conundrum into perspective. Many of us are conditioned to believe that success is about absorption. More information, more networking, more trends, more hustle leads to more success - that type of thing. But my own voyage through the global economy has taught me that the opposite is true. As the world gets louder, your success doesn't depend on what you take in. It depends on what you ruthlessly exclude.

    The "Infinite Pivot" isn't just about moving toward the new; it's about knowing which 'new' to avoid, and when.

    Fast-moving trends can often be a powerful distraction. The buzz they generate It is a chaotic mix of breaking news, viral hype, and the promise of quick riches. But if you jump on too soon, you'll get burned. Too late, and you'll miss the opportunity. Did I mention timing is everything?

    There's also the aspect of how real any particular trend might be - and which should be ignored. The most profound shifts in my career happened when I finally built a "cognitive firewall" against trivial trends.

    In an era of infinite distraction, the person who can choose what not to care about is the only one who can truly see what's coming.

    Don't just filter the future.

    Manage your attention.
