Learning From Anyone
If you value learning, do you appreciate learning from anyone? Or must they have certain qualifications or thoughts before you rate them as acceptable to learn from?
I believe people can learn from all types of other people, including those that are older, younger, well schooled, dropouts, mothers, doctors, plumbers and politicians.
Every experience can be an opportunity to reflect and reconsider your thoughts. If you want it to be. If you prefer to stick with your people and their thoughts, you’re likely to have a very narrow life.
Whether you learned from Yoda or Jung, “do or do not, there is no try” is a very powerful statement – if you understand it and and embrace it.
Learn from others, whoever they are. Listen and reflect and it will add to your store of knowledge.

Don’t Drive Tired
Accidents can happen. You can avoid many of them. Notice when you’re fading, head dipping, missing mili-moments or are straining to stay awake. Find a safe place to pull over and catch 20 winks. Then you can be safely on your way again.
Arriving late is far superior to arriving doa.
Don’t drive tired. Take a rest stop asap.

Distractions
What keeps you from doing the thing you really want to do? Or even from what you need to do?
If you had only 6 more months on planet Earth, what would you focus on? What distractions would you let fall by the wayside?
Who would you call? Visit? What would be most important to you? What would bring you joy?
There are many things to distract us from our most important goals. A distraction could be a movie, the news, a family matter, a crossword puzzle or a book.
Write down the things you want the most and don’t let these distractions impede your progress. You control your time. Don’t waste it. Use it efficiently and effectively.

Patience Can Be Rewarding
Whether watching the Perseids meteor shower or the lions on the Serengeti, I’ve found being patient can be the most useful trait in getting to see rare events. Be patient.

Stalking Is Illegal
Don’t do it. Don’t allow it. It doesn’t look good on those that persist in doing it. Encouraging it for any reason seems wrong.

Raindrops
Why are raindrops so lovely to listen to when you are inside, warm and dry?

There’s Always An Outcome
In everything, there is always an outcome. Sometimes you get the outcome you want and other times you get a different outcome than desired or expected. But you often have some influence over the outcome. Sometimes it’s more than you think and other times it’s less.
Regardless of your perceived level of influence, do all the things you can legally and morally do to get the outcome you’re looking for.
Start early. Contact everyone you think can help influence the outcome. Be pleasant and fair but direct and concise. Assume “no” is a temporary answer and obstacle. Seek out solution-oriented individuals and companies. Consider all the options you can possibly think of. Talk to people to check the viability and probability of the various options.
You can achieve anything if you use all of your super powers and your current and desired network. ✅

Stars In The Sky
Get away from city lights. Go out in the bush. Look up at the night sky and see thousands of stars in the sky. It’s incredible. It’s immense.
Wonder in amazement at how it all got here, fits together and works. Wow.

Be Present
If working, work. If playing, play. When listening in a conversation, be there and really listen. Hear what they are saying or trying to convey. It’s important.
