What is Your Gold Medal?

The Olympics are going on in Vancouver Canada. Canada just won it’s first ever gold medal earned on their own soil as a host of the Olympic games. Heckuva goal and they did it.
Do you notice how long some of these athletes have been coming to the games in hopes of claiming a medal? 4? 8? 12 years some of them have been coming back.
Determination. Persistance. Think about the training that goes into to qualifying for the Olympics. Then times 2 or times 3 … times 4 YEARS. Think about what it takes for a salmon to swim back upstream to spawn. Envision you had a FRACTION of that determination to achieve the things that have been on your To Do list year after year after year.
What a rock star you would be if you could just get it together and Do It.
No time like the present. Write and let me know how you are doing with those New Year’s Resolutions.
Later…

Despite the yellow journalism sensationalistic headline that it is, it’s also true. On David Letterman last night, Jennifer related the story of how she was working a gig for a Fantasy Island episode and … oh I dont want to spoil it (find it somewhere else).
No blogging for a long time. Been doing other things. Might as well keep kicking in now and then, my online journal of sorts.
Gave up for now on having my own business and having speaking and writing and workshops work for me to pay the bills. It can be done, I have really good material and my day will come. I just happen to be really good at high end communication network engineering for the US department of defense … so that is what I am doing for now.
So there! I did I did I did see a puddy tatt!
Plus, since I was going to make SO much money as a personal growth enthusiast, I would have EASILY got into the $250K and above “rich” people bracket that Obama has targeted to pay even MORE taxes.
He doesnt get it. Stoopid Democrat Tricks … try out for Letterman. That discussion is for another day.
I’m just getting started. Who cares if anyone reads this (how many times has THAT line been typed in a blog?)
