Roeboater Thoughts

  Comparison is the thief of joy, don't let it in. When you do, you begin to look at the lack & not at the have. This can be a huge distraction to you along with undue discouragement.  Most comparison isn't fair from the jump.  When comparing most people compare their chapter 3 to others chapter 12; don't do it. Focus on you, what you are doing, who you are becoming, where you are going & why you are doing it.  Do not worry about keeping up or catching the Jones', you don't know what is actually behind that door in the first place. That is out of your control anyway. Focus in and invest in you, your growth, your team, your pursuits. That is what is worthwhile. 

  When going on a journey there are two things that you need to make sure are dialed in. Skills & Supplies; both are needed to be successful. One is worked on in order to create, improve & grow (Skills) while the other is acquired (supplies).  Life is one heck of a journey right? And in this journey we have many micro journeys that come together to create the large one. What skills are each of us working on now to start to have, to grow better or even become a master at? If we wait on growing the skills needs the gap between where we are and where we want to be will grow instead of close. My encouragement to all of us is to take small steps of investment into ourselves to grow into where & who we want to be.  On the supply side it's also important to research and find those 'things' that will help you along the journey. Widgets if you will that provide leverage to accelerate & create eases along the way.  Seek, grow & use both.
