784. Knowing what we want is half the battle 

January 10, 2023 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

Maybe more than half?  Because if we just start driving, where would we end up?  The question doesn't even make sense.  99% of the time we know where we’re going when we get into the car  To work, the in-laws, to this place  But with life?  We just flow through, bouncing this way and that, … Continue reading 784.

780. 2 plus 2 or 5 minus 1?

January 6, 2023 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

they both equal 4 It doens’t matter how we get to the end goal, what matters is do we get there?  If we’re both going to craig, CO - I drove there, but you flew and used uber. Who cares? We both got to craig.  One might be better, but better for what? Speed? Cost? … Continue reading 780. 2 plus 2 or 5 minus 1?

778. Rise from the dead or start over 

January 5, 2023 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

We start an endeavor, not knowing anything  Chipping away at it for a few weeks, months, years…  Only to realize we’ve been doing things not as effectively as we could,, whatever that may be We can double back and redo everything we did, better  But if we have nothing to lose, why not start over? … Continue reading 778.

January 4, 2023 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

Ever set a goal? Sure.  But how do we set the next goal?  Maybe it’s because we switch a gear, Or to learn a new skill.  What if it’s to go deeper into our craft?  Increase sales  Run further or faster  “Double it” has been a common theme for me.  I started with running a … Continue reading 777.

January 1, 2023 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes for better  Sometimes for worse  How do we adapt to that change?  Point? Adjust? Speak up? Influence? Do nothing? It’s up to us, that’s the best part.  But most of us don’t even know which way we’re adapting to change, let alone which strategy is most effective to assist that change we’re seeking to … Continue reading 774.

771. flat feet, fallen arches, runners

December 29, 2022 ~ Joey D ~ Leave a comment

If you google about flat footedness, this is what you find on the first search, from the mayo clinic:  Flatfeet can occur when the arches don't develop during childhood. It can also develop later in life after an injury or from the simple wear-and-tear stresses of age. And this “fallen arch” thing supposedly effects 30% … Continue reading 771. flat feet, fallen arches, runners
