What I need to focus on!

I suspect my biggest enemy wrt efficiency is distraction: I go off on tangents at the drop of a hat (or click of a button).  This is particularly true sitting behind my PC.  I am pretty good at sticking to tasks involving my hands/physical labour/work not behind a PC.  Problem is my profession is currently largely PC based!

Put another way, I loose focus easily.  Maybe not so much lack focus, more loose focus.

The Euphoria of Music and Dancing

At work, I just listened to the U2 song 'The Ballad of Ronnie Drew' - a sort-of pub-song collaboration with the Dubliners and others.

The last time I listened to it was with Tanya, and resulted in wild jumping-around dancing and laughter in our lounge at home: over and over.  I felt like my chest would explode with uncontained joy!

As I listened to it now, I could not help but experience the same feeling...the memory is entrenched in my heart, along with its chest-exploding joy.

a wonderful compliment

Last night I was able to train with Solly for the first time in many years. When I observed that fact, and how great it felt, he replied: “don’t worry H, form is fleeting but class permanent”. The more I think about it, the more I realise what a wonderful compliment it actually was…

Hard work.....

I've read that I flew up the hills and mountains of France. But you don't fly up a hill. You struggle slowly and painfully up a hill, and maybe, if you work very hard, you get to the top ahead of everybody else.

Without self-discipline, success is impossible, period.

Perspective..always remember

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit … and you’re keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – family, health, friends and spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or evenshattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for Balance in your life.
