Achieving Excellence....

Electrified as I read Finding Flow, "To achieve excellence, we must first understand the reality of the everyday, with all its demands & potential frustrations."

It's impossible to explain how thoroughly I was influenced by two - not just one, two! - dominant older siblings to look with distain on the "everyday."  

Not me, kiddo!  Not ever, I now realize.  Part of me say banging against the well-constructed, double-thick walled misconception that doing things the "everyday" way was special.  Yeah, like downright magical, 'cause that's the only way I could have steered clear of the everyday & ended up with anything substantial.  Made sense to them, because the things they were looking for out of life were not, are not, the things I crave.  Craved, but never to the point of recognizing the place where everything got messed up.  Until now.

Time to welcome demands & face up to, then transform frustration into satisfaction, even pride through well-considered & neatly executed actions!!

Letter it!  Keep it on the wall behind the computer!  Learn it - remember it - ACT on it!!
