Motivation

 Motivation is not the cause of action, it is the result. You want to be motivated? Get up and go do something. - Mark Manson

How many times do I have to learn something? I know this. I know this really, really well. And yet it took getting an email from Mark Manson and reading this for me to go - "doh, of course!" I know that doing one small thing can lead to doing bigger and bigger things. But lately I've been sitting around waiting for motivation to strike. I find myself saying, I don't feel like doing that. So what if I don't feel like it. It's got to be done. So I need to be more like Nike and Just Do It!!!!! 

This helps a lot, it really does. I find myself lately making my to-do list or deciding my big three for the day and then not following through because I don't feel like it. Well, time to stop feeling and time to start doing. I will make my lists and figure out my big three every day and I will get them done. Then I will slowly chip away at my to-do lists. Enough of this nonsense, time for action. 

Towards that end. Starting today, until my big three are done, there will be no cruising Facebook. Time to start getting things done and not wasting time on social media. Unless it is social media for my business. 

Yeah, I've had enough of this crap. 

In other news, I was in bed by 7:30 last night. I was exhausted. I slept through until 4am this morning. God that felt good. 

Okay, I'm off to update my big three and figure out what I'm doing today.

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
