Climb Mountains Daily - little reminders

A repost from an email I received this am - it has reshaped the way I'm looking at my day and wanted to share...

Occasionally life requires us to step it up, rise to the occasion, push the envelope.

During these times we mobilize our forces and give our all. And because these kinds of circumstances are usually few and far between, we manage. We succeed and hit the mark.

We climb the huge mountain.

But what about the rest of the time? What about the daily, mundane routines in which we spend 90% of our lives?

Our goal must be to perfect the everyday. We’ve got to find ways to energize and feel inspired during the unexciting times. And it starts with a recognition of perfection in the norm. Taking our regular work, our day-to-day commitments and doing our best, is an even bigger win than climbing that huge mountain.

Imagine - one year of work is poured into the Super Bowl. The entire game lasts four hours, but hundreds, perhaps thousands of people are working toward that one afternoon. The paradox is, what determines the greatness of the Super Bowl is how extraordinary the other 364 days of the year are for everyone involved in the game.

Don’t let life be regular. Make it extraordinary. Our lives are measured not by how we handle burning fires. They are measured by how we do when there are no fires to extinguish - when there’s no drama.

This week, look at your daily life. Find ways to make the ordinary extraordinary, be it with your kids, workplace, personal transformation - anything and everything. These are the moments that count. This moment. And the next…

All the best,

Yehuda

Little Reminders

Feeling a bit down the past two weeks - change in seasons and insomnia driven I think. Also I've been eating more cooked foods which always leaves me feeling a bit more heavy/grounded/serious in general. I re-watched Angela Stokes' famous prune video tonight and thought "Hey - I've done this" - and remembered how fantastic and clear headed I felt after it all - also how monumental that first prune was. The video has inspired me to go on a short water fast before winter hits and it is too cold to be practical. Monday is the plan for water then juice for the rest of the week. Hopefully it will do the trick to cure my seasonal blues and help me fall asleep!
