We all know resolutions are as good as the paper that they are written on. However you cave into your aspirations, I still think that resolutions are a joke. I would challenge you to ditch the resolutions and set goals. I have set some pretty lofty goals for this year and I plan to hit every single one. Right now I won’t share them publically but those closest to me will know what they are because I want them to hold me accountable.
Here is why I won’t share with you; I am going to ignore criticism. It is so easy to hear it then second guess yourself so I won’t even go there! Each of my goals will elevate my abilities professionally and push me to lead the path. It comes from Jim Collins book Built to Last, but I have set a BEHAG. (Big Harry Audacious Goal).
Raise your glass.. Here is to goals.. Not resolutions!
Can I spend a day with John Lasseter?? I feel like if you had a day like that, you would walk away with great insight towards leadership, creativity, and inspiration.
If you have been watching the news or ESPN in the last few days, you will have heard the story of Shannon Stone who went after a ball in the Texas Rangers game, who fell over a railing and died. This ball had been tossed in their direction from Josh Hamilton, after Mr. Stone had been yelling for him to throw a ball in their direction. This is a terrible situation for the Stone family, the Hamilton family, and the Rangers organization. Ever since I saw this story on WXYZ on Thursday night, my heart has been wrenched over this whole situation. Then when I found out it was from a ball thrown from Hamilton, I was blown away by the huge impact that this will have on him.
I write this today as a fan of Hamilton and asking that everyone be praying for him. This has huge potential to be a debilitating situation for any person. Hamilton has had rough times in life and has had successes. Check out his story here:
So.. I ask you to take a few minutes each day and pray for Hamilton. There are a lot of people who need prayer each day as well, which you should support them as well, but I ask for this because he has an incredible platform where kids are looking at him as a role model and to see how a man works through hard times. They see too many bad examples but I believe Hamilton can be a REAL man in the situation.
I have taken a short hiatus from the TED Talk of the Day.
I needed to view a few videos and prepare for the next stretch of the videos. Today we launch out with Tim Ferriss. Tim wrote the book “The 4-Hour Work Week”.
I am not entirely certain that the title is true, but I do know a lot of bald brilliant people. One that I would like to meet is Seth Godin. He is constantly learning and teaching. I think he is my yoda!
These were 2 great videos and both were a part of Chick-fil-A’s Leadercast movement. One is from their Leadercast event and the other is from a 1 on 1 interview with Seth Godin and Dan Cathy, CEO of Chick-fil-A.
