Happy Birthday Think Daily!
April 2024 marks 15 full years of Think Daily! I started writing them in 2009. For me, Think Daily has been a tool and habit that has proven the following - To learn is one thing - to teach is an even higher level of learning. To put good out…
The Common Denominator of Success
Every successful person formed the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do. The successful are influenced by the desire for pleasing results. Failures are influenced by the desire for pleasing methods and are inclined to accept results that can be obtained by doing things they like to…
Choose your beliefs
What you believe about yourself, what you can do and how, and how the world is, is a critical component of what you will accomplish in life. If you believe you can NOT do a thing, you will not try or give it your best effort, and give up quickly.…
Do your own thinking
"Where all think alike, no one thinks very much." - Walter Lippman How much of what you believe, associate with, and repeat is from the thinking and refrains of others or the group? How much is from your own clear observation and thought?
The easy way will not make you happy
One could say that the purpose of life is to be happy. But in a great irony, doing the easy thing and doing things that are fun all the time will not make you happy in the long run. People who seek short-term pleasures to make them happy will always…
Hero – Strength for Two
Taking care of yourself is important. If everyone did it well, we'd have a much better world because many people wouldn't need so much help. So the first and best thing you can do for the world is to take care of yourself. But we are made for much more…
Each moment is a choice.
Everything you say yes to, you say no to something else. Some things are valuable and/or fulfilling, and many things aren't. It's your choice. What will you say yes to today?
How do you see yourself?
You will never outperform your own expectations of yourself. How do you see yourself? Is it time to elevate that?
How YOU got to be YOU
This is how you got to be you. You were born with certain onboard attributes. That you had no control over. THEN - It's what you learned + The environment(s) you were in + The people around you + The decisions you made + What happened to you + The…
The Beholder
I hadn't listen to this track in a while. I played it today. Sometimes you are in a place to hear it and it hits home and influences you. Check it out - The Beholder. And get the whole album, Blueprint, on iTunes. Learn. Enjoy. Repeat.
Inner Winners
Some people win some things sometimes. But a higher form of winning is to become one inside - where winning is not something they do sometimes, but who they are inside and outside. They know how to do well, how to stay out of trouble, how to stay clear of…
Develop good character, and make you proud.
"A wolf does not lose sleep over the opinions of lesser species." The average adult spends 3 hours a day on non-work screen time. In that time you will invariably come across opinions and armchair critics. Most people, with their desire to be liked (me included) will be affected by…
Self-Disclipine
Self-discipline - the ability to do it when you don't want to do it. If you know what to do, but don't, you'll start making excuses and blaming, and even deceiving yourself. If you wait for motivation to strike, you'll be waiting most of the time. Winners do the small…
Discipline = Freedom
No discipline - no control - and ultimately less or no freedom. If I exercise self-discipline I can be free of others' attempts to discipline me. If I discipline myself with my diet, health, and fitness, I can be free of medications and limitations. If I discipline myself now, I…
Sometimes you walk alone.
It is much better to walk alone in the right direction than to follow the herd in the wrong direction. You'll need the knowledge, character, and discernment to know which direction is right, and the courage to make the right choice.
Man in Motion
Have a clear goal - one that you have thought about all the reasons you want. Write it and these reasons down. See yourself doing it and accomplishing it. Know all the hard work it will take and commit to paying the price ahead of time. See yourself embracing this…
Nothing good happens after midnight
This one is especially for young people. Nothing good happens after midnight. Your life could change for the worse, or worse. I'll spare you the stories - but if you want some they aren't hard to find.Learn this lesson from others, not from your own experience. Get home.
Rise to the level of your character
Everyone has a talent, or a few of them. Some people have a lot of talent. But regardless of your level of talent, you will never rise higher than your level of character. If you are dishonest, crude, mean, disloyal, a narcissist, or not self-disciplined, it doesn't matter how talented…
Racing is life
Today I give you my race report. As you may know I raced the SanFelipe 250 - a 285 mile race in Baja. The terrain there is especially difficult. Besides 25,000 whoope (big bumps) there were several tight canyon washes with very intimidating boulder gardens and rock falls to ride…
Active Pursuit
You can learn a lot, and many people do. You can wish and hope a lot, and many people do. You can get ready all you want. But there is no substitute for action. Action is the faster way to learn. When you mix it with healthy doses of reading…
