Monday and the start of a new week. Last week is gone and a memory, next week is in the future and today is Monday, it is the start of this week with all its possibilities. For a while now I have thought of setting up a program for myself to ensure I have a solid foundation established to pursue my goals. Topic areas include digital preparedness, health (physical, dental, eyesight, mental), finances, legal, spiritual and work-life balance. Per Stephen…
With all that is going on in the world today it is hard to stay focused. I find myself reading Facebook posts and the news a lot trying to keep apprised of the world situation and how my friends and family are doing. Ultimately, the constant viewing of news and FB is not healthy and vary draining. Before my current job and the COVID-19 virus outbreak I was very consistent with my workout routine. Lift weights MWF and running Tues…
In January of 2020, I said this is going to be my year of finally getting consistent with my blogging. So far this year I believe I have successfully completed 3 blog posts. I have all kinds of excuses but in reality none of them matter. In the end, all that matters is results and to date my results are poor. The only thing that will change this is committing to writing five minutes a day no matter what and…
We all have times in our lives when the crazy takes over and we get off our normal routine and veer away from our goals. Recently the crazy has taken over my life at work and I have been working 50 to 60 hour weeks. When this happens one of the first things that suffers is my daily routine. I have read a lot of self-help books and over the past few years, and have developed a morning routine. My…
According to Earl Nightingale, if you want to increase your position in life you must find ways to increase your contribution to life via the service you offer others. He suggests everyone should strive to write down five ideas every morning on ways to improve your life. If you do five ideas a day that will be 25 ideas a week and over a thousand ideas in a year. Many of your ideas will be worthless, but some of them…
With the new year comes new opportunities. In this new year, I will focus on writing and publishing articles for my DCHQ website and this web blog. I will also continue to work on self-improvement across a full range of areas in my life. Spiritual, Fitness, Family, Community, Recreational, and Financial. Stay tuned…
Hello world again. Since August 12th 2016 a lot has gone on in my life. I have started another blog called Defense Careers HQ and put a lot of energy on building the website. From September of 2017 to December of 2018 I worked on providing relevant content and getting feedback from several peers. In December of 2018 I took the website live. Initial feedback and site use is good, but not great. I had a lot of energy in…
It has been a while since my last post, I had a great holiday with my wife and family. I started the year by using the Live your Legend annual and weekly goal planner. So far am progressing in the majority of my goal areas and I am still working on my business ideas. Being a consistent blogger is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Since my last blog post I read two books by James Altucher…
Since my last post I have taken a few small steps toward the three short term goals I set last week. I researched and made an initial list of locations in the Colorado Springs area to highlight in my forthcoming travel book. I also researched and downloaded some initial material on building and teaching a computer literacy class. Unfortunately, relative to my third goal of getting aggressive on learning Spanish I made minimal progress. Two out of three is…
