Thankful for Today Mike Helping Tomorrow Mike, Right Book at Right Time, & Starting the Day with Quiet Work

Day 3,023

Growth:

There have been a few times today when “Today Mike” went out of his way to do “Tomorrow Mike” a favor. Whether gassing up the car, packing my workout clothes, or doing a clean up of my inbox there were times when I could have just chilled and relaxed today, but realized that my day will go so much more smoothly thanks to these actions today. 

Appreciation:

This weekend I’ve gotten myself hooked on the book Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman by Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard. It is quickly proving to be another one of those divine moments of catching the right book at the right time. Throughout the first half of the book I’m catching myself having to rewind often to allow key concepts to truly sink in. For a variety of reasons I’m very thankful for stumbling upon this gem at the right time!

Presence:

This morning I woke up and got after it right out of the gate. I started up my coffee and busted out my Reminders app to make sure I got everything down. From there I started knocking out tasks one after another after another. I was the only one awake, drinking my coffee, doing stuff around the house. So quiet and chill even though I was getting chores done. Oddly serene way to start a Sunday!

Thanks!!!
