The Triangle

I was sitting here tonight trying to think of where to begin on my new blog and the phrase Carpe Diem kept coming to mind. This phrase brings me back to my high school days when a good friend introduced me to the movie Dead Poets Society. They say that youth is wasted on the young and even then that movie and the words Carpe Diem had such a significant impact on my life . Youth may be wasted on the young but being young is all in your mind and from here on I plan to live young. I have heard people say all my life “If only I would have know that when I was young,” you know the drill. Well I think we should take the “If only” and change it to a “Now I will” approach and starting living for the future.

I have had an interesting couple of years with the same ups and downs we all face but it really all goes back to Carpe Diem which of course means Seize the Day.    

Recently I took a class at the HPW Real Estate School which was by the Pacific Institute which was authored by Lou Tice  called “Thought Patterns for High Performance.” While initially I took it for business most of us in the class quickly realized we could use the techniques to overcome obstacles both in business and our personal lives. It is truly an incredible thing God put between our ears and the funny thing is he expects us to use it and what better saying can put that into action than Carpe Diem.    

I hope you enjoy my blog and visit often.    

Sincerely,
