Cheers to New Experiences
The book the 12 hour walk inspired me this week. As a result, we have been doing a few things out of the norm this weekend. We went to an art show, listened to an outdoor symphony, had a beer with my burger for lunch, and later this week… we are even going to take an off the grid day for a 12+ hour walk. I would highly recommend this process not only to spark creativity but also to boost your mental health! CHEERS!

Notes that Resonated
Mindset:
Our brains will see more of what we are focused on
We become what we think about
If you think you are headed into a decline so will you
A shifting market means you have opportunities you can seize
Growth:
I want the growth of your wisdom to outpace my birthdays.
What impact are you achieving beyond yourself?
Success is exponential not spontaneous
If you get better at what you do you can command more of the pie
Growth happens outside the comfort zone
Time:
Average American watches between 4 hours of TV (according to Neilson), 30 min of Youtube, and 2( to 6) hours on social media (depending on your age range). We do have enough time it just needs to be used wisely
Cut out the unnecessary to achieve you goals and passions
We have 168 hours a week what do you do with them?

Inspired by the podcast lasted below I read the book “12 Hour Walk” - by Colin O’Brady
The book is great to listen to in an audio book format. Collin is a great story teller and his action pack inspirational stories really come to life as he vividly recounts his personal struggles and thrilling adventures. Listening to his stories would push anyone out of a funk, give them a swift kick in the ass, take steps to start living their best life and maybe even inspire them to literally summit Everest.
