· What am I Reading? – Buy
a cat, stay up late, don't drink: top 10 writers’ tips on writing by By Travis
Elborough ~ I love reading about other writers, their thoughts, habits, and advice. Great article.
The Day Dostoyevsky Discovered
the Meaning of Life in a Dream by Maria Popova ~ Read it, think about it, discuss
it.
Tribe of Mentors - What would this look
like if it were easy? is such a lovely and deceptively leveraged question. It’s
easy to convince yourself that things need to be hard, that if you’re not
redlining, you’re not trying hard enough. This leads us to look for paths of
most resistance, creating unnecessary hardship in the process.~ Tim Ferris
· What am I Listening to? –
My new favorite song is by Francis and the Machine called – Moderation.
I keep listening to it, just love it.
The
10X Rule - The only difference between
success and failure by Grant Cardone ~ While most people operate with only
three degrees of action-no action, retreat, or normal action-if you're after
big goals, you don't want to settle for the ordinary. To reach the next level,
you must understand the coveted 4th degree of action. This 4th degree, also
known as the 10 X Rule, is that level of action that guarantees companies and
individuals realize their goals and dreams.
· What Quote am I pondering? – “Lack of planning on your
part does not constitute an emergency on my part”. – unknown. It is so true and must be remembered. This is
one of those quotes you hang on your desk for YOU and everyone to see.” People
have this belief that the world revolves around them so when they are in a crisis everyone else should be as well. Not
true and not cool. Right?
· What am I Researching?
– This week the research was all about what scares us
as a human being. What makes a movie,
book, poem, etc terrifying? What do you think is the answer? Everyone is different
of course, fear is highly subjective however the # thing that links all humans
is the fear of isolation. Makes sense. “Well if I were You-Know-Who, I'd want
you to feel cut off from everyone else; because if it's just you alone, you're
not as much of a threat.” ~ Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter and the Order of
the Phoenix.
· Yummy Meal of the week
– I discovered Stouffer’s Seasoning Wraps. Funny, I
have a link to a video on my site about them and there are all of these
comments about how it is the stupidest product ever. I disagree. I love them
and thus my write up this week on Friday Food Love!
· What did I Learn? – This
week I learned focus is key to any endeavor. When you are distracted doing too
many other things you are not giving 100% to your goal. Doing 10 things at 10%
focus is not as effective as doing 1 thing at 100%.
· What am I Watching? – This week I was only able to enjoy one show, Blindspot. I have loved this show
from the beginning and I try to enjoy it while folding the seemingly endless
amounts of laundry my family seem to generate. 😊
