ONE BUCKET, NO LIST

Monday Jan. 26, 2015


Where to start.

How to begin. What to do first. Picking your way, and your why … and who, you are too, choosing.

What we think about and do, who we talk to and why, who we listen to, what we read – at the start of our day, this day, will govern our effectiveness this week more than anything.

Each day we venture into life’s berry patch, our bucket empty …

Some people seem to want to pick anything. Some pick everything. Some want only that comfort that comes from knowing they have a bucket, ready, for when they find something worth picking.

We all see buckets, see picking, differently.

Actions and thoughts, all of it – starts over again every Monday morning.

So, forget your list.

And remember, grab your bucket …

Good morning.

Good day.
