On Fatherhood, Manhood & Becoming Better Ancestors.
Cuando mamá decía “no toques las tortillas”, yo escuchaba ”tómate una y corre”…
…or as my English-speaking friends would say:
”Don’t touch the tortillas’ clearly meant ‘grab one and run for it!”
“Focus is about saying no.”
-Steve Jobs
In a world filled with distractions and hundreds of open tabs that you will “get to later”-
saying no allows you to stay laser-focused.
Easier said than done. Especially when you have to say no to people.
Imagine little me at six years old, adorable, obviously.
Big belly poking out from under a shirt that’s losing the battle. Hair for days. Like a mini lion cub.
Do one today.
Maybe 2 or 3.
“Live life like a series of Experiments”
Because that’s what they are.
Little by little you find the right blend that makes us uniquely you.
Meditations in the morning
tend to be very chatty.
Do them anyway.
Just sit and let your mind do what it must.
My gf and I rented bikes yesterday
while visiting Austin. We thought it would be cute to ride the trail around the Colorado River in Austin.
This was my observation as we made ourselves east. And we are cute though.
