Sunday Morning: Beauty in Motion…

Anake Goodall shared this video titled Beauty in Motion.  It is in fact “beauty in motion.”  Hypnotic music and dance.  I would encourage you to visit Anake’s blog.  I get transported “away” with his photos and images.

Twelve of life’s most important lessons…

I don’t believe that I’ve read a better self-help post in the past year.  Tony Schwartz turned 60 and these are his reflections.  He is the author of Be Excellent at Anything.   This post is from the HBR Network and it’s titled: Turning 60: The Twelve Most Important Lessons I’ve Learned So Far.  I find his insights remarkable…

  • Humility is underrated…deepening self-awareness is essential to freeing ourselves from reactive habitual behaviors…
  • “Notice the good – we carry an evolutionary disposition to dwell on on what’s wrong – take time each day to notice what right and to feel grateful
  • “Never seek your value at the expense of others…devaluing the person will only prompt more of the same in return”
  • “Slow down. Speed is the enemy of nearly everything in life that really matters. It’s addictive and it undermines quality, compassion, depth, creativity, appreciation and real relationship.”
    An on and on and on.  I’ve excerpted most of his post below so I can return to it frequently. (Now, only to execute…)

Top of the mornin’ to you with Dobbie Brothers and Takin’ It to the Streets.  Volume up.  And here’s a shout out to a few bloggers inspiring me with their posts this week:


 

Patrick @ Canadian Hiking Photography. Check out the photos.  One word: WOW.  Goose bumps for this Canadian.  If I had a flag right now, it would go up.  GO CANADA!

Christian Fahey @ The Upside with his post titled Iron on Iron.  “I got a call from an old friend yesterday…”

Todd Lohenry @ Todd’s Perspective with his share: There are good people out there.  “…My husband and I, along with our twin sons, have spent a total of four years cycling the Americas. We’ve pedaled 27,000 miles in all…

Mimi @ Waiting for The Karma Truck with her post: For You.  “…some days are diamonds while others are…

Nicholas Bate with his post: Spend Time With the Best…"The best will remind you that good is no longer good enough, that excellence is a nice place to be as it’s not at all crowded and it’s just a decision away.”

And from Manage Better Now: Need Some Advice. “…Your primary responsibility as a manager is to develop those around you…”  Solid.  Solid. Solid leadership and management blog.  Skip the platitudes elsewhere and dial in here.  You’ll be sure to learn something…

From the Meta Picture…whether you are a cat lover or not…I’m still laughing @ Sneak Level 99 and Cat Toy Force Field.

Have a great Hump Day!

Give me the Splendid, Silent Sun…

Sun, sunset, sunrise, walt whitman, birds, wheat, farm, poem, beautiful, God, nature, life, lifestyle, peace

GIVE me the splendid silent sun, with all his beams full-dazzling;

Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard;

Give me a field where the unmow’d grass grows;

Give me an arbor, give me the trellis’d grape;

Give me fresh corn and wheat—give me serene-moving animals, teaching content;

Give me nights perfectly quiet, as on high plateaus west of the Mississippi, and I looking up at the stars…

~ Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
