Never underestimate the power of a well balanced day.

I feel like I did just the right amount of everything today.  

Just the right amount of work. Just the right amount of goofing off. Just the right amount of structure. Just the right amount of spontaneousness.

A good day today is....

Yeah ok, are you picking up on the fact that I don't know what to talk about today or that I might be too tired to really WORK on coming up with some interesting ideas???

I don't want to bullshit you, this is kind of the last thing I want to be doing right now... But can you really blame me?? The sun is shining, I have music playing, and my work for the day is semi-complete, so if I wanted to I could actually SLEEP.

  

But no. Here I am. Doing what I said I'd do. Sticking to my word. Strengthening my integrity.  Because here's the deal. When I commit to something, I intend on following through.  

You may not think that something as simple as skipping the post of a daily BLOG that no one really reads is really going to matter...

And I agree, it's not going to do me any irrefutable damage if I just said 'hell with it, I'm out of here today!!!' But it does become a tiny crack on a much larger goal.

And cracks spread. In fact, they can spread very very far.    

   

"Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do."

- Aristotle

Which is something else I really really believe. These daily tasks mean something to me. They matter. That's why I do them to begin with. If for no other reason than learning how to be disciplined, I'm going to keep plugging at this.

Because we don't just wake up one morning being great. Greatness has to become habit, you have to build it into your life. Day-by-day
