David Herz, Coach

Mr. Joyner, developer of Simpleology, in his “The Greatness Awakening,” (I tried to get you a link to this, but couldn't find it) at day ten assigns my mission as:

1. Write your code. Here's mine:
   
   1. Be the kind of person who leaves a profit.
   2. Always be learning.
   3. Always be moving forward.
   4. Take care of people.
   5. Anything that takes you off your path is actually taking you backwards.
2. Print it out
3. Put it on a wall where you will see it every day
4. Memorize it
5. Repeat it to yourself once a day before bed

I liked this assignment; so I share this also with you.

I got a bit stupid yesterday, and then got smart. I did contact someone, and that turned into a conversation, which I definitely call a win. I also made for some outside time by way of a walk with my son. I did workout, but then did got sidetracked, in one good way, and in one bad, and got to the end of my day not having completed my core activity, which is making contact with three people. So I wasn't going to go to bed without that, and got it done, which also felt good. As to the assignment, I realize it actually is present for me in the mornings, and I am not feeling the need to comment as completely as I have the last three days, but I'll work into a form that works:

1. Smile! ✓
2. Breathe life into Your Body. ✓
3. Think of three things for which I am grateful.
   
   1. that I can still feel my toes
   2. that I can walk
   3. that I still dream
4. Think of three things I am looking forward to.
   
   1. More outside time.
   2. Writing.
   3. Scheduling certain parts of my life.
5. List three things I will do today to make my life even better.
   
   1. The pitch that's been running in my head, but occurs as a huge effort.
   2. Contact three people.
   3. Ironing: it still didn't get done, but I think I'll combine it with my soap opera, one of yesterday's distractions, which wasn't necessarily accompanied by fruitful activity yesterday.
6. Then mark it off on the calendar. ✘ Just for clarity, this is obviously not that I've finished it all, just that I've done the damned planning exercise, and if I've done that, at least some of the other parts follow.

Thanks again to Mark Joyner's The Little Calendar that Brainwashes You: It might be enough for you. For me, it resides in a bigger context. I suppose it depends where you find yourself.

Bonus Step

I'm just about to toss last year's calendar; so I figure I should share this as well:

Throughout your day, move. When you move your body as if you were happy, it's impossible not to be that.

As a lawyer, coach, out-of-the-box thinker, and magical connection maker, I want to know how I can help you Reach Higher. With that in mind, these questions:

1. If we had a magic wand and could instantly fix just one problem you are experiencing, which problem would you pick?
2. If we could wave a magic wand and instantly make just one change to make your life better, what would you pick?

I'd love your feedback. Feel free to comment here, or message me privately.

And if you want to go further, you can always

Schedule With Me, or Sharleen

So it's funny how winter, with its connotation of darkness and cold, begins just at that moment when the days start getting longer. So I'm here and what to make of it. I don't want the next thirty years to look like the last, or the first, although I wax nostalgic for the ones that I was probably most confused and anxious through, let's say 18 to 28. While I am sure I was completely unsure of myself, they were also years ripe with possibility which is hard to conceive as being available now.

I did come home from synagogue with a certain spirit of lightness, like more is possible, like maybe I could run another marathon, and I could, but I've done that. There are actually a whole lot of marathons I could run, and it's time to pick one, maybe two, at the very outside three,…but I want to run them all. And that I know I can't.

Hey there friends. I reproduce here a post that I sent to my community group. The thing is it's right for wherever you are. It's addressed to Jews, but I don't think it really matters. We all can be a light unto the world.

Operation “Holy Land”

Every time you go out, leave the places you move through improved for your having been there.

My pet peeve is garbage, so I invite you to pick some up, but you are welcome to add any act you that allows you to share your love for this land with someone else.

I'm of the strong belief that the physical manifestation of this is extremely powerful. Think of your experience when you enter a well-kept home, or synagogue, or even park. Now think of it as others enter your country.
