The subject says it all.  I don’t usually have man crush.  And note I am not gay (and I am not opposed to those that decide that is for them).  But Tim Ferris has done a fantastic job of guiding and teaching people like myself to live the life they want to.  Thank you Tim.
If you haven’t read any of Tim Ferriss’ books or listen to his awesome podacsts you should start now.

It’s not for everyone, but there is something for everyone.  Especially those that want to live life to its fullest,  he introduces you to people, authors, experts, etc that have an impact on him.  Whether or not they have an impact on you is really up to you!  

My own experience with Tin Ferriss’ knowledge and way of teaching has changed my life.  And I talk about it as much as I can with people I come acrosss that are looking for that next drive in life!
Tin Ferriss I can’t thank you enough.
Cheers mate!

The older I get the more I am seeing that we should not lose focus of the long game. However we still need to perfect our short game in order to get the best results in the long game.

Now I don’t play golf (well) and I’m using this terminology because it’s pretty common.  But it resonates with everyone that is working towards a long career at something.  

What is your long term goal? Mine keeps changing but I think ultimately its finding happiness and the balance between family (first and foremost) and an exciting career / work / passion.  But do you need to sacrifice the first in order to achieve the second?  That has been my ultimate challenge and one that I want to one day prove that is possible.  Perhaps I am living it now.  But I just don’t realise it.

Is that what achieving your goals feel like? That you actually haven’t achieved it and that they keep changing?  Like the saying goes, we keep changing the goal posts.  Perhaps it’s in our nature not to stick to the oath to reach an ultimate goal.  We get there then realise that there is a better goal to achieve.  
It’s like revenue for a company.  You set a target you achieve it early and then you keep raising the bar.  Simple.  It’s because it quantitative and very objective.  Happiness is not quantitative and very subjective.  
So if your like me, you’ll never achieve your goals.  
But you must look back at the short game and assess how you got to where your at in order to ultimately reach your long game. 

We will know once we reach out long game.  God will let us know. Or for those that are not spiritual.  You will just know.

Game on.

What exactly is work? When people ask you what do you do why do we feel an urge to have to explain to them something that is of some worth to them – or so you think?  Do they really care?

When I’m asked that question it used to be answered with some thought behind it to ensure that whoever asked it knew that I was of importance.  Well really? Am I important?  Perhaps now my most important job is being a good husband and father.  So how do I respond now?  I tell people I am a thinker and a doer.  Well not really but perhaps I should start saying that.  
Any work you do you have to think and do. Am I making sense?
Think about it and go do something productive.

If you work a regular job, Monday’s are a start of a new week for you.  I like to think as Monday’s as a continuation of the weekend.  Have you ever had a case of the Mondays? A term from the movie The Office.  A classic 90s flick you must see to appreciate the life of an office place.  However things are changing in the workplace and so should you.  Think of Monday’s as the new Friday and you will be just as excited to go to work as if it’s heading into the weekend!

Happy Monday!

Do you wait for opportunities to come knocking or do you seek them out? I don’t believe opportunities just happen out of the blue.  Opportunities come because of the work you have put in prior to those opportunities coming to you.  It may appear that opportunities just come out of no where.  However if you reflect on the events that led up to this opportunity you can start to see the relevance.  Reflecting on this then enables you to achieve other opportunities in the future much more quickly.  You can start to see the patterns or the activities and events that got you to where you are.  It can then be easily replicatedto achieve other similar goals and opportunities.  
What are you looking to achieve this October? The opportunities are there.  You just got to figure out how to get them.
Happy Opportunity Hunting!
