Doin' in, Doin' it, Doin' it...
Just like Toad,
in the "Frog and Toad" books,
I start most days making a To Do list
Then I spend the day
going down the list
crossing things off to create
a feeling of accomplishment.
But the next day there is always another list
of things to do.
Doin' in, Doin' it, Doin' it...
Today, for a change
the To Do list can wait.
What if, just for today,
it becomes more important to focus
on what Not To Do
to improve my life?
What would that list look like?
Do Not obsess about my job
Do Not get into arguments with employees or clients
Do Not overeat at lunch
Do Not forget to tell your family that you love them
Do Not spend 8 hours sitting at your desk - no matter how many things
are on your "to do" list
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
