Distractions, lack of motivation, or for whatever reason some days it takes me a bit longer to gain momentum.
Sometimes it takes me a bit to start round #2
But while making coffee for round #2, I remember what Bob Gaylor, the 5th Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force said 2013 when I was attending a leadership training in Germany.
Chief said, you need 3 things in life to succeed.
The 3 things you need in life to succeed
- Aptitude – defines what you’re able to do. Don’t ever stop learning.
- Motivation – you control motivation. You could sit all day with your knowledge and brainpower, but until you agree to activate it in a motivated way it will fall short.
- Attitude – is the definition of how well you will do. Some people just don’t have the right attitude.
Opportunities are difficult to predict, you never know when they are going to happen or where it’s going to come from, and usually, the opportunity you really want happens when you least expect it.
and quickly felt blessed, my family is blessed and I know there are people struggling and let me say that even when we don’t post about it, Noe and I help when we can.
The cherry 🍒 on top of the cake today is the new earcups for my Bose QuietComfort 35 👉 https://amzn.to/2NGP9KM
The best ones I’ve used that provide really good noise canceling 👌 great for when you are working from home and the kids are making lots of noise.
Wishing you the #bestdayever
