Eddie Pinero

He would just be pelting me with this stuff, and it was brutal.

But as time went on, I'd build that wall higher and higher.

Eventually, it would be lights out for him.

He'd have nothing to hide behind him.

The young buck was doing, let's say less, way less than 80% dreaming.

And so I'm no longer building castles in the sand.

But as Thoreau said, now I'm looking to build them in the air, seeking to bring things into life that are merely ideas and concepts in my head.

And naturally this prompted me to ask, well, what's my ratio now?

Because it sure feels like I'm doing a lot of eating.

It sure feels like I spend a lot of time every day, you know, dodging Mikey P's incoming sand cannon balls, right?

Things are going to be different tomorrow than they are today.

And to truly win, we need to be asking ourselves, how do we build that bridge from the present to the future?

How do we lay out stepping stones that will allow an evolution in what we're doing?

And I'm thinking, if my day's 95% consumed with eating-type tasks, then I need to figure things out here, right?

Is it automate?

Is it eliminate?

Is it delegate?

It's something, because the ship needs to be more effectively captained.

And I love these epiphanies.

Just a change in mindset that can completely redirect one's entire trajectory.
