I hd my class watch a Tony Robbins clip today and I must admit the dude does something to the way I feel about myself. Robbins is a world renowned motivational speaker who tells you things that none of us really are ready to hear but help each of us gain a deeper understanding why we aren’t the best people we can be. Sometimes I feel like the guy is looking at me, pointing, and saying ‘I’m talking right to you, man.’ He talked about the habits and rituals that successful people do. He compared the morning ritual of a person who is not healthy to a fit man and clearly explained the inherent differences. I do some of the things he talks about. I do much more of the bad than of the good, so there’s that. However, I recognize the potential for greatness and have an understanding of the many little steps it takes to get there.
I still want to hit the reset button.
I still understand there is no reset button and any hole you bury yourself in you are beholden to dig yourself out of. Of course, the point is that so many of us allow that hole to become our new reality and we narrow our perspective of what is possible as we age. I’m as guilty of that as anyone, but I don’t think it has to be that way forever….
Some Thoughts:
- The Giants are a brutally bad ball club right now. The best thing about them was the alliteration in that last sentence.
- Sponsors are pulling out from the Vikings because of A.P. and his indictment. Whatever happened to waiting for the facts? A trial? Innocent until proven guilty?
- Peter Clines might be a demi-god. Check out his blog and his books.
- I’ll be 45 when this goes down, but expect me to be a NYT best seller in the near future.
