We hope to share here with you some little gesture to start you off in the right direction each day. A quote, a thought, an observation… it is our desire to give you a variety of influence to ignite all of your senses as you greet the mornings and embrace everything that is before you each and every day.Pierrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09040531110720938142noreply@blogger.comBlogger932125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303706539444921597.post-23341443566470850762020-05-27T07:01:00.000-07:002020-05-27T07:01:00.898-07:00Awaken Your Day - 60 to 50<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b><i><span style="color: blue;">"What is done, is done. Most of what is not done, can still be. What I am ultimately capable of, patiently still waits for me to clear my vision.

Milestones.<br />Starting Lines.<br />Goals, dreams, measuring sticks.<br />What does it all mean?<br />I could have done a lot of things differently.<br />I should have done a few distinct things differently.<br />I did a few things far better than I dreamed I could.<br />I have only a few wishes for more focused do overs.<br />But ... those are not my focus now.<br />60 to 50.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<br />I have 60 days, starting now, to coordinate how excited I am going to feel the morning I wake up and realize, I turn 50.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
60 days, to gather my life work in memory, gather my achievements like investment victories, and check each of their dividend statements - gathering wisdom riches for the next stage. 60 days to call upon my mentors and role models, and ask for their energy to enrich my shot at a new title.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
60 days, to build momentum so that when I wake up, on the day, I am one excited S.O.B. for what that means; for where I am going; for who is coming with me. Picking up speed.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I am not scared of this number. No time for regret over anything.<br />What is done is done. Most of what was not done, that which matters, can still be. Strangely I am excited. 60 to 50. Hard to believe, but enriching to Achieve.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Creating. Here we go.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><span style="color: blue;">"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not </span></i></b><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><b><i><span style="color: blue;">fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."</span></i></b><br /><span style="color: #666666;">- Steve Jobs</span></span></span></div>

Sometimes you just need to come across some simple truths ... some words that take what you may already know or feel, and poke you into putting some thought and energy toward the insight.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Sometimes we need to hear that it is okay to feel like a round peg in a square hole... because it is accepting that feeling that allows us to wiggle around until we find out ... this is actually a comfortable place to be.</div>

Listen, consider and absorb. Often times people share great insight, not for us to over analyze ... but so that we can leap forward in proven footsteps and become more, just like they did.</div>

Just great energy.<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><span style="color: blue;">“Some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants won’t help.”</span></i></b><br /><span style="color: #666666;">- Calvin and Hobbes</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">Original Post 2017</span></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; display: inline; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Yes, yes they will ! If you remember first how they got the power to BE your LUCKY rocket ship underpants. Remember the times they saved the day…remember how you discovered they were lucky, and the faith and belief you applied to them every time after when you called upon that LUCK to get you through a tough spot.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Any adversity you may face today – you choose right now before the day has begun that you will be ready for it. Adversity, big or small – not so fun challenges, big or small – to your FLOW ( oh how I love that word and will be exploring it so much more in the days to come) big or small.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Our positive energy stalls or lets “distractions” take the lead role because we often do not maintain the level of feel good that gets us through. We let our great energy pulse slow down. Not intentionally, but because we do not LEAD with it. Hence, AYD. Lead with our best … Rise to that level of awareness and desire and then.. only then… turn the knob and leave the house.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Like anything we do. Here is an extreme example -<br />A gambler hits a losing streak and says, “Well, my luck just ran out.” Nope. Nope. Hell Nope. He lost focus. Lost the energy when one or two hands didn’t go his way and then desperation started to creep in, he wanted to turn it around, started to rush some decisions, made some careless bets, began to bobble, lost some more, quicksand rising, focus become more desperate, hail mary and then… and only then… his lucky rocketship underpants didn’t help.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
One negative thought breeds like weeds in the garden. Like ants at a pic nic. And then… where does our thoughts go? Where do we apply our energy and emotion. What do we ALLOW to happen?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
We must train ourselves, through consistency, and our chosen environments ( physical, emotional, mental etc) and like minded people… to maintain the best in our line of vision. To challenge any adversity because Yes damnit, my lucky rocketship underwear will help … like all the other times before.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Good morning, Greater Day.<br />Greater You – powerful in wearing every lucky thing you have.<br />AYD – Pierre Couturier – Husband, Daddy Skins, and Author to my Day</div>

Sound familiar? When we find ourselves in a rough time, we do not realize it but out of nowhere, this magic shovel has appears, and in our regretful or worrisom thoughts we do not realize that on our worry hill, we are digging a hole. I dare say we could be called professional diggers. And the hole gets deeper. The point of view gets darker. The tool we have is wrong, the direction we are going is incorrect. We need to turn the blueprint around.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Often what starts as just a rut we are walking along in the path, becomes deeper as we trudge along with our head down and our focus on the trench evolving in our heart and mind. At these times we need to reset, refresh and refocus. Never lose touch with a little list of successes you have climbed to in this life. This list will be the rope to help you climb up.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Find three or five or ten times and events where you Have Gone Right in your life. These times are the fuel we need to keep exploring and to keep on top of the edge that tough times pull us so close to. Three, Five, and Ten. Why not Three times you Got it Right, Five feelings you have when you are successful and Ten... Ten minutes whenever you need it to reflect on the Power Within you just found in your 3 and 5.<br />Just a thought, for a good morning.<br />Good morning, Greater Day. Greater You - throwing away the shovel.<br />AYD - Pierre Couturier - Husband, Daddy and Author to my Day.</div>

Alot of people cross the paths of our lives.<br />Alot of cute phrases and quotes about everyone of them being there for some reason.<br />Alot of time goes by so very quickly.<br />Alot of 'reasons' become lost ... not intentionally ... but more so like that magical smile that fills our heart, from a romantic distance ... on a crowded floor in Grand Central Station (life) - there it was, there I felt it and then it somehow was whisked away in the people clutter.</div>

AYD - sadly the plans we had had to be changed because Mother Nature is expressing herself. So instead of thinking of It as a loss - you turn it around. Sandra is getting some work done she wanted to and Jaxon helped me change the seals in the garage bay door. A job I was not looking forward to but with his great help and interest in doing the hard parts - we made it look easy.</div>

So in an effort to keep it light and simple this fine Tuesday, what would you be famous for in your fifteen minutes?</div>

All too often we focus on what is "wrong" in our surroundings... and more so with what people around us are / are not doing. It's tiring. Exhausting actually.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
So today, your mission, is to catch someone doing something right. This is part of the triple crown of the One Minute Manager system and while oh so simple, it is Oh So rewarding... for the person you compliment and you.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Give someone a moment of praise for doing something right. Your child, or someone at work... yes, even if they are simply doing that thing they are supposed to do right in the first place because uh, yeah... it's their job. People respond to positive feedback. They respond well.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />Walk it off. Get out of the immediate painful focus bubble.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A friend had introduced this to me recently and it got me thinking.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><span style="color: blue;">"Sorrows are our best educator. A man can see further through a tear than a telescope." </span></i></b><span style="color: #1c1e21;">- Bruce Lee</span></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
Ponder it, consider it and I think you can agree. Part of the reason this is true, is because in time of sorrow or hardship, those situations have our complete focus. Simply because it is not how we wish to feel and it has our full attention. More attention = more lessons that become visible.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
No different than asking a person what they want - it is far easier for us to identify what we don't want as we try to better describe and define what we do want. The uncomfortable or unwanted we can see from a long way off.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
So, knowing this, we can try to retrain our emotional learning, and maybe balance it some in our favor.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Be purposeful in the next event you attend, or activity that you partake in. Get wrapped up in the Happy that surrounds you and see what can be learned from it. Investigate the joy much like we do in a moment of sorrow.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Today I will attend a wedding. I will witness a moment designed to be joyful. And I will ask myself what can I learn about happiness, as I focus on how far I can see through a tear - of joy.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Good Morning, Greater Day. Greater You, balancing the focus of learning opportunities.<br />AYD - Pierre Couturier - Husband, Daddy and Author to my Day</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Inspiration does not have an expiry date. Often it has a very brief shelf life because we pile a lot of distractions in front of it - but it doesn’t expire. And it does not need a new and improved coat of paint each and every morning.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We practice with what we know and the tools we have found or are taught, until slowly it becomes a part of who we are. Practice includes calling on what we have shared, and reviewing its value<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> from the first time it was “ah ha” to how it influences our today.</span></span></div>

Add a motivator.<br />Add an adjective.<br />Like you do with a noun in a sentence to add effect and description, so should you do with a goal, a dream, a moment, a meeting, a day.</div>

Back to class - Jiu Jitsu. Was worried and anxious about missing a week and a half.<br />Feeling tired but oh so grateful for the good company, the familiar and new faces, and that worn out feeling that you earned versus the mental guilt worn out from not going.</div>

That’s a good way to start.</div>

I love tripping over the most obvious of advice, said in the simplest way. I'm not a fan of that truth applying to me ... but I am man enough to admit that it does.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
A seminar, a class or even the moments we share here at AYD. If you do not plan to apply yourself to the tools you reach for to improve your morning or your life - if you drop the passion on the desk on the way out the door in the morning and you roll over and play dead as soon as the outside smothers you with distractions ... then do we really want the improvement we seek?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Build up your passion. Energize and hype your reasons. Believe the hype. And wear it like your favorite coat. And then, take all that energy and take one more next step. Repeat ... and grow.</div>
