Was organized enough to surprise two friends

McDonald's to go bag and two Marriott room keys
Do unto others

 

Was organized enough to surprise two friends after the track workout. Jogged to McDonalds, returning from the track, for some egg McMuffins to go. Made it back to Marriott in plenty of time to eat and shower.

Slid a room key – with concierge lounge (free breakfast buffet) access – under each of my friend’s doors and texted them this photo with a note.

Was organized enough, and not in such a hurry, to think this nice surprise through.

We know this.

The best things in life are not free, unlike we are led to believe.

The best things in life are simple, but they are anything but free.

Think about it.

Health is free, but we have to work hard to maintain it.

Keeping life simple is free, but again, simplifying in a complex world is challenging.

And so it goes.

We know this.

Being in a position to change lives, changes lives

Being in a position to change lives, changes lives. Sounds dumb at first. But when we are in a position to change the lives of other individuals or organizations, the person who really changes is the teacher.

This too sounds weird. Maybe you’ve felt or experienced something similar.

The past few months, have been really feeling a metamorphosis – in a way, perhaps, that a caterpillar never sees coming.

And I hope you are now, have recently, or will soon, experience this.

Yeah, that was simple – just be remarkably amazing.

The secret in this is that doing it everyday makes it so much easier to do it everyday.

Who knew?

Go!

Your day awaits and people deserve you and your bad self.

Keep our heads up, eh?

Keep our heads up, eh? In a busy, stress-filled world?

Yes.

Those of you who blog. Keep at it.

Why?

That’s the question that needs a really good, convincing answer – so our writing doesn’t stop.

It’s not a complicated concept.

But it is critical.
