Schedule your summer as GREATEST!

With the beginning of summer this past week for those of us in the
northern hemisphere Philip Humbert 's article entitled "Make It One
Heck of a Summer" and its message of carpe diem came to mind.

I shared this at the beginning of last summer, and its point continues
to serve us well.

In it he talked about how he and his wife in October seemed to always have the same conversation about summer:
"Oh, no! Where did the summer go?"

Moments later the house was filled with whining and moaning, a few complaints and exclamations that, "I can't believe we let it get away again!"

I believe his experience is similar to most of ours and that come October, we may look back with similar regrets.

His point in this, however, is about goal setting.

Human beings, he says, are by nature "goal-setting and goal-achieving creatures."

We set goals everyday - from the planning of our daily schedule to planning what we will eat during the week.

So if we are to have the greatest summer of our lives, we need to plan to make it the greatest.
Start today.

Circle dates on the calendar and mark them with things you want and love to do.

Fill it up and let it overflow the brim.

Live this summer as the best you have ever had!

It is your beautiful and special life to live to its fullest.

Stretch yourself to do new things, uncover new possibilities and happiness for you, your family and those around you.

And in October, look back proudly and with satisfaction at what you have achieved, learned and experienced: that happiness and success is in your choosing and doing. Choose wisely and choose well!

Leaders - Lance Armstrong biography

Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong (born Lance Edward Gunderson on September 18, 1971) is an American professional road racing cyclist who rides for the Kazakhstan-based UCI ProTeam Astana. He won the Tour de France a record-breaking seven consecutive years, from 1999 to 2005.

He is the only individual to win seven times, having broken the previous record of five wins, shared by Miguel Indurain and Bernard Hinault, Eddy Merckx and Jacques Anquetil. He has survived testicular cancer, a tumor that metastasized to his brain and lungs, in 1996. His cancer treatments included brain and testicular surgery and extensive chemotherapy, and his prognosis was originally poor.

In 1999, he was named the American Broadcasting Company Wide World of Sports Athlete of the Year. In 2000 he won the Prince of Asturias Award in Sports.[2] In 2002, Sports Illustrated magazine named him Sportsman of the Year. He was also named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. He received ESPN's ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, and won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Overseas Personality Award in 2003. Armstrong retired from racing on July 24, 2005, at the end of the 2005 Tour de France, but returned to competitive cycling in January 2009.

Step out your own history

To: The Great Leaders Who Have the Passion for Continuous Learning

A friend recently shared with me a quote she had heard that changed her life:
“You have to be able to step out of your own history to move forward.“

She went on to explain that there are many assumptions developed throughout our life that we hold on to – assumptions shaped by childhood events, the environment or social conditions in which we lived, previous experiences or attitudes that others hold of us – and which provide the framework for the choices we make in shaping our future life.

While many of these are valuable, there are some that hold us back – keep our thinking inside the box – and prevent us from achieving our fullest potential.
It is these few for which she suggested that we “step out of our history to move forward.”

Actress Katharine Hepburn once said: “If you obey all the rules, you will miss all the fun.” Leaders who continuously grow and develop in life are those who challenge the rules and assumptions.
They choose to see all aspects of life and relationships through different lenses, ones reflecting new realities and possibilities and not historical assumptions.

Author Ruth Benedict writes: “We do not see the lens through which we look.”
Highly effective leaders challenge their own lenses periodically, stepping out of their own history to move forward.

This week take time to “step out of your own history.”
The new possibilities you see may change your life forever.
Remember the wise counsel of Lao Tzu:
“If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.”

Proper way to work in front of a computer:

2. The eyes gaze straight ahead, or slightly down.
3. The seat is the correct depth so that the back is supported with the natural in and out curves allowed.
4. The feet are flat on the floor ( or in this case the small footrest.), removing the strain on the low back.
