Ducks and Eagles


The Duck Pond

“The Easy Path leads to the Hard Life, The Hard Path leads to the Easy Life” 
Rilke


Are you a Duck?  Are you and Eagle?  Are you a Eagle convinced you are a Duck?

Ducks: Live in the the Duck Pond. Ducks keep repeating the same thing again and again getting the same results.  They  swim around the pond constantly complaining "Nothing in my life every changes".  The negative Nellie.   They do just what is asked. Never go the extra mile.  They complain "quack" to everyone how unfair life is.  They live within their comfort zone.  The place of cozy and familiar.  They don't realize this is a sweet poison silently killing their inner Soul.  We have all had that waiter or person behind the counter who is rude and can not or will not help you because of "this" or "that" reason.  That is a Duck!

Eagles:  Live in the sky high above.  Eagles regularly  get out of their comfort zone.  They think out "of the box".  Anticipate needs.  Eagles go to the fight before it comes to them.  No excuses.  They show up ready every day!   They fly high above souring to great heights to be a trouble shooter. They get out in front of potential problems and prevent them from ever becoming an issue.  They take off their masks.  They are authentic.  No need to maintain any illusion of who they are.  Not afraid to stand naked with their faults and imperfections exposed.  Eagles are Bald remember!

They know and understand their loved ones, friends and clients.   The Eagle listens, seeks to understand first.  You know the type!  You go to a restaurant, stay in a hotel or person behind the counter that goes out of their way for you. That special someone in your life that serves you in a way seems  small,  but  huge to you!  Demonstrating caring, love, understanding and they actually listened. These are people you write the 5 + Star reviews.

They  do their own personal improvement work.  These are the Eagles!

Have I ever swam in the Duck Pond?  Yes.  Many times.  What I have realized, I like being out of the comfort zone.  I don't like swimming in the Duck Pond of negativity.  I like being a part of the solution.  It is AWESOME to fly with the Eagles!


Get out of the Duck Pond!




We do not change by thinking, we change by being and doing with pure intent!

Why I Serve

Image
"Life is Suffering" I am grateful for the system of Unbeatable Mind.  Mark Divine put it together to get people through the toughest training on the planet.  BUDS! (Is Mark a poser? Or the real deal). He gave me the tools. I did the work. It was always up to me.  What it boils down to is what Buddha taught.....life is suffering.  When you let go, you understand it’s ok to suffer.  Get calm, get in your own head.  Get really quiet.  You gain an internal knowing.  I got this!  It’s going to be ok.  It’s the Big 4 (Breathe, Positive Attitude, Micro Goals, Envision Success).  Then you are at peace.  Peace overflows. You are at first alone. Then with fellow sufferers. You serve yourself.  You serve your Swim buddy (your inner circle), your Ohana (your family).  Your tribe.  The world.  This is the flow state in its purest form.  You give, the universe gives back in spades. You support your “boat crew” w...

Accountability Mirror

The Accountability Mirror.  What is it?  Goggins describes it like this:  You get up go to the mirror.  Who is looking back?   Are you seeing the person you expected?  Can you see your future Kick Ass self somewhere in the mirror?  Ask yourself "What is it going to take to get there?  What do you have to do".  Are you willing to do what it takes?  Are you willing to SUFFER?  Are you willing to get after it?  Are your willing to sacrifice? Who are You?  Are you seeing the person reflect back at you the person you think you are?  Or do you have work to do.  Are you Accountable?  Is what you do in private reflecting what you do and how you act in public? This is the starting line to your future!  Now is the time!  No longer are you looking at the wake of your life!  But setting the course from the front!  You see your future! It is Awesome! Now is the time!  The time to...
