4/22/16

Friday! Although today is going to be long, once it’s done I’ve only got two more major events until I can continue to fall into coasting mode. The weather seems to be holding which is going to make it easier to take. Softball starts soon too! That reminds me to get on these jerseys. 

I really need to focus on the mindfulness part of my day. I get grumpy easy on this lack of calorie diet, so I need to be mindful of that as I run into frustrating walls throughout the day. Take time to take 10 breaths and listen to my thoughts and feelings.

One thing I learned: Leadership and entrepreneurship can’t be learned from books. Hardcore experience is the best teacher of these attributes. Generating ideas often come from seeing others ideas. The best way to hone these skills is to put yourself into positions where you’re uncomfortable and need to lead people. 

One piece of motivation: Alan Seeger. See poem below.

Three ideas: Finish the book. I really need to investigate how I can get more time. I’m liking the sleeping aspect, but can’t figure out where I can find more morning time - other than getting up early. It might be possible to chill out on it for a bit too. Refocus with this science thing. 

Workout:

None - off day. Back at it tomorrow!

"I Have a Rendezvous with Death"

I HAVE a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air--
I have a rendezvous with Death	5
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.
It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath--
It may be I shall pass him still.	10
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spring comes round again this year
And the first meadow-flowers appear.
God knows 'twere better to be deep	15
Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear...
But I've a rendezvous with Death	20
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous.
