Roeboater Thoughts

  Too many times we OVER THINK as step or action that we are about to take. It will never never be the perfect time to do it, so don't wait for it to be. Plan, Prepare & Execute it. A well executed plan is WAY better than the 'perfect plan' that never leaves the starting line. Getting out of our heads, or out of our own way is sometimes the ONLY obstacle between us and who we want to be -or-  where we want to be.  Go For IT! Whatever your "IT" is, rip off the band aid or as Tin Fey put it....go down the chute! Either way it'll be a heck of a ride that you did, instead of the one you never took. 

  Sometimes we forget that the first thing we all should be grateful for today is simply waking up. A sunrise is a beautiful thing as it brings light into what was just dark. It is a gradual beginning that makes a profound impact.  For us, we should not just wake up and roll into our checklist, but pause and appreciate that we get to wake up today.  Don't just lock into only doing what is on your calendar for the day, but be open for other opportunities that may arise in the day. If we are not looking for those opportunities, we mill most likely miss them.  Today you woke up....now what?  What will you choose to invest your time in to    make today a day to be proud of knowing that    this decision does not have to be a one time thing reserved for a special occasion; because  truly each day we wake up is a special occasion indeed.  

  We would like to think we control wayyyy more that we do. That is our natural tendency. Often times things that take the most of our time, brain space or worry are things that are beyond our control.  Something, that when harnessed that can create huge momentum for each of us is properly identifying what is in our control and what is not. Once we get that then we can energetically go after making in impact there.  When we do this we are better investing our 3 T's and that will make us unstoppable. That doesn't mean that it will happen fast, but trust the process. Invest your TIME, TALENT & TREASURES in what you can control. Focus there, trust the process & you will succeed & hopefully inspire others to do the same on their journey. 

  We all have our hiking boots on right? We have a hard, but very rewarding climb ahead of us. Being able to ascend to a peak begins way before the trail head. It begins in the prep work; the gear, the map, connecting with others that will be on the journey with you.   Think about your IG feed and the excitement that people have when they post pics after a great bike ride, hike or excursion that took work to get to where the photo was taken. There is a lot of pride in that because they choose to step up, step out & go for it! We have that choice every day. Lets work hard, together so we can enjoy the view and remember the view never comes before the climb, it is always the reward after it.  Get it! :)
