I am signed up to get web news from Mark Cendella of Ladders.com. I can't remember when I connected with Ladders, probably shortly after I retired from the army. And although I never subscribed for job-finding assistance, I stay signed on because occasionally he's got some real pearls of wisdom in his messages. Today was one such experience. He links to Robin Williams being interviewed for "Inside the Actor's Studio" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evq8wnvTC3M&feature=related). Williams is his normally zany self. The interviewer can't even get a word in during the first five plus minutes of the interview because Williams is on a tear. It's hilarious. Cendella's point, is that different kinds of energy charge us to perform in certain situations. While he's talking about job interviews, I've found that to be true in prepping for just about any big event. I remember cranking up Tina Turner's "Simply the Best" so loud that the mirrors were vibrating on my little Toyota MR2 as I drove to UMD to defend my masters thesis in the nineties. And I still tap into musical energy today.
What motivates and charges you to "show up" ready to succeed?
Experiment and experience the rush of your best energy as you work toward your goal(s).
Snowman Training Notes: It was another strength day and hot as the dickens here again . . . so back to the gym. 3000+ vertical feet on the versa climber followed by my normal trekking strength training routine (if you missed this list of exercises before, look at the 12 Jul post). And of course, my music was pumping -- Michael Franti (Hey World). Total workout time: 65 minutes.
Thought for the day: "Music is what feelings sound like." ~Unknown
