What I've learned from blogging every day.

What I've learned from blogging every day.

I had more ideas about life, growth, perseverance, grit, and leadership than I knew what to do with after I left Carnival. These ideas came from the books I had been reading, my own observations from leading people, and experiences I had in big corporations. I always wanted to share these ideas with my team, and often I didn't. Why?  

Because the way I thought wasn't like everybody else.  

It was different.  

"You're too different. Why don't you be like the rest of us?"

Well, I'm not like the rest of everybody else - and I'm okay with that! I'm me. I have a culture of "different" that I've curated for myself, and it works.  

How does this tie into blogging? 

Because, through blogging, I create and change the culture.  

  • I curate and clarify my own thinking and behaviors.

  • I offer insights to readers who are also looking to curate and clarify their own thinking.

  • I spread a message of artisan doing - perfecting the craft of being productive.  

I do this all every day.  

What I've learned from blogging is the power of never giving up on an idea. To stick with it. Even if nobody cares. At least I did something worth something with the time I had.  

You have time right now. Possibly lots of it. What behaviors and mindsets will you cultivate and curate for yourself?  

Yesterday was tough.
