Today’s Accomplishment
Every day, when we awaken, we are faced with abundant opportunities. And what are we going to do with those opportunities?
Love this ponderable from poet Mary Oliver.

Get Naked
Have you ever been naked in public? For most of us it’s no fun.
I’ve had a few dreams of running naked or in my underwear. So glad when I awakened.
Here’s the good side of getting naked, thanks to Seth Godin and his book
What to Do when it’s Your Turn
Get naked.
We become naked when we say ...
~I made this.
~It’s my fault.
~It was my idea.
~I decided to do it.
~No place to hide is the only place to be.
If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing naked, alone, boldly.

Management VS. Leadership
Know the difference between management and leadership?
~Management tells
someone what to do.
~Leadership inspires them to do it.
I’ve had managers and I’ve served under leaders. Leaders are better.
~I’ve learned more.
~Received better feedback.
~Improved in my assignments.
~Grown as an individual.
I always, always want to be a leader.

A Skilled Sailor
What do you know about being a skillful sailor? This I know.
Anybody can sail on a smooth sea, but when the winds blow, I want a skillful sailor.
I love having a peaceful life. Peaceful lives are the dream of all mankind. And I don’t know any successful individuals who have lived a totally peaceful life.
You see, the rough winds that tear at your sails, the rough seas that we must navigate, the hard times we endure are the lessons that teach us the most about navigating life.
In the last few years, I’ve read or listened to the biographies of some famous men and women. The one thing they have in common is this – they didn’t have an easy life and success did not come to them overnight nor on a silver platter.
Adversity is a great teacher. It teaches one to sail in all winds.
Something to think on,

Dear Friends:
I'm still alive and kicking. Just wanted to let you know you and your support as loyal readers are not forgotten. 2021 was a rough year for me medically. I had to have 5 surgeries, and then again just 2 weeks ago - Feb 25 I had another one on my left foot.
I had to endure an amputation of my toes on the left foot in 2021 and then subsequent fallout from that. I'm doing well, able to walk, am in a boot.
I have been putting my creative energies of late into podcasting. I'm approaching my 100th podcast soon and am going to make it a longer form an include greetings from many of my friends and supporters. Be watching all social media sources, and if you don't follow me, I love for you to do just that.
My user name is P Michael Biggs.

Best Regards to you all!
