Good morning everyone,
It has almost been a year for me starting my blog here on my site. I can not believe that I have been able to talk about that many topics, or keep my attention long enough to do so. This was a new process to help me grown and write my book that I am hoping is ready before Christmas.
Now I have had help with an editor to put my thoughts into a good format so I am hoping that you will be able to read it and get all the value in a structured order. Believe me they are worth it when you find a good one. Although it has caused me to go back in rewrite a couple times.
I am currently looking for book cover graphic designers if you want to offer any suggestions that would be great!
Speaking of the book and blogging, I want to talk about trying something new. I often want to grow myself in different areas quite often. Each year I sit down and write down goals. The last two years with the help of my wife I have been able to record more and put in a format that I can come back to regularly to see how I am doing. This past year included the blogging for the company and getting the book written. I have also put in other financial goals, reading 12 books a year, and areas with the kids to grow that relationship. I constantly like to learn in multiple areas of my life to become better overall.
Something that I hope to do in the future is learn how to fly. It is something that has been fun for the few discovery flights that I have been on and the ability to sit in the cockpit with a past boss while traveling for work in his plane. That skill is very technical and a great deal of focus is needed. So that will be something that I also have to grow in :) From there I would love to learn how to fly a helicopter. You never know when the zombie apocalypse will show up so being able to get off the ground may come in handy!
I have also tried wake surfing this past year as a new skill. It is fun being out on a boat with a group of people and making a fool of yourself when you wipe out at 10 mph. It also is a lot easier on the body when you fall at 10 mph compared to water skiing at 28 – 30 mph. Rupturing an ear drum can happen and has happened to me.
My mom was super pumped recently when she went zip lining for the first time while on vacation. She is in her sixties and to hear her say that she was pumped about it and wanting to do it again with a great deal of excitement was cool. She said the next step was to try sky diving in the near future. I was very encouraging of her doing this if it is something she wants to do. I will also be the one wanting to see pictures of her doing it and am currently searching for options for her to do it so I can see and maybe go as well.
What I encourage you today is to look at some things that you would like to do that you haven’t done before. You only have a limited amount of time and the clock is ticking. Make it an effort to grow and try something new.
Sincerely,
