ROUTINE

                                                     

“You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.”                     J o h n C . M a x w e l l

As with most things in life, routine can be both good and bad.

Good to the extent it keeps you on task. In a flow. Getting it

done. Waking up early, stretching, exercising, eating well, walking,

working, fishing, playing pickleball or whatever your fun is, reading,

going to bed early, then doing it again the next day. “Routine” can

be bad to the extent you get mired in a rut. A 9-5 job day in day

out frittering your time away in a stultifying, mundane drudgery.

Every now and then mix it up. Work out with a friend. Try a different

exercise. Take a day off. Go do something for yourself. Rotate the

crops. Bike instead of running. Do a group exercise class. Walk with

a friend. Go to lunch on your own. Go for coffee with an old friend.

Add a wrinkle to your day. Get away every now and then. Vacation.

Blow-out of your routine. (but still get your exercise and reading

in). This helps you recalibrate keeping things in perspective. When

you are away from your routine, you crave getting it back. Absence

makes the heart grow fonder. When you are stuck in your routine,

you can’t wait to get away from it. Stir the pot. Mix it up every now

and then. Routine helps you gain small daily victories consistently

over time leading to massive, extraordinary results in the long run.

When you develop an excellent routine, you will become fit as f*ck.

Being fit as f*uck vastly increases your productivity, point of view,

and “happiness” exponentially.

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH

 

“People of integrity and honesty not only practice

what they preach, they are what they preach.“

                            Dav i d A . B e d n a r

Nobody likes a hypocrite. Do not be hypocritical. Lead by

example. Behave in a way you want to encourage others to

behave. Act in a way that you know deep down inside according to

your values you know you should be acting. Be kind. Be courteous.

Be honest. Be grateful. Be helpful. Be mindful. Exercise. Eat well.

Sleep. Drink less (alcohol not water). If you say you are going to do

something, do it to the best of your ability. Reflect on your own

behavior. Hold yourself accountable. Do not offer advice to someone

else if you’re not doing it or wouldn’t do it yourself. Do not be the

pot calling the kettle black. Avoid criticizing or calling out someone

else for a fault you also have, or something you yourself have done

or are doing.

DO YOUR VERY BEST TO DO YOUR VERY BEST

                                                 

“Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change

from moment to moment; it will be different when

you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any

circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid

self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.”

                                —Do n M i g u e l R u i z

Be the best version of yourself in the moment. Whatever you are

called upon to do, do it well. If you are going to do it, do your

best. There is not much better than the satisfying feeling of a job

well done. Knowing you did it and did it well. Maybe it worked out,

maybe it did not, but you gave it your best shot. No regrets. Some

things just need to get done, like washing the car, cleaning windows,

mowing the lawn and you may be tempted to half-ass it just to get

through it, but, even in these “menial” tasks when you do them your

very best and look at that shiny car, through those clean windows

at that well-manicured lawn that feeling of satisfaction is worth it,

on the other hand, when there is still dirt on the car, smears on the

windows, wide swaths of lawn you missed, it looks crappy, you feel

“bad” and you usually have to go back and fix it, taking up more of your time. 

So why not do your very best, do it the right way from the

start and feel good about yourself? How you do anything is how you

do everything. Your character is the sum of your actions. Perfection

occurs when you do your best at what you are best at.

MAKE A CHANGE, LEAVE OR ACCEPT THE SITUATION

 

“Change before you have to.”

                            Jack Welch

Why wallow in misery or self-pity? If we are not “happy” or are

“unhappy” with our current situation, then do something about it or

accept it. We are in a short-term learning experience situation, and

we are working on improving ourselves heading for a larger goal.

Accept our situation. Learn from it. Then move on. We are in what we

thought was our dream job, but it is just not right. Reflect on it then

make changes. If it is just not working or you tend to be unhappy and

miserable all the time, then leave. Find something else that gives you

purpose and pleasure, makes you feel satisfied or lights a fire in your

belly to want to keep going. Do what interests you. We must work

hard and “pay our dues” but make sure you are working hard for the

right reasons and are on the right path. If not, make a change. If you

do not want to change then accept this is what you chose, because

it is your choice and make the most of it. You decide.

A nice note from some of our readers:

Perfect Drift' immediately stood out to our community because of its refreshing honesty about what personal growth actually looks like. Rather than promising dramatic overnight transformation, the book embraces the quieter reality that meaningful change is built through small, consistent decisions made day after day. That perspective feels both grounding and deeply encouraging in a culture that often celebrates instant success over lasting progress.

What especially captured our attention was the central metaphor of the perfect drift. Comparing life to time spent on the water creates a simple yet remarkably powerful framework for understanding resilience. The reminder that tangled lines, missed opportunities, and difficult conditions are not failures but part of the learning process transforms everyday setbacks into opportunities for growth. It is the kind of practical wisdom that readers can immediately apply to their own lives.

What resonated most with us was the book's focus on intentional living rather than relentless achievement. The emphasis on building consistent habits, eliminating distractions, embracing discipline, and redefining wealth through health, relationships, freedom, and peace offers a thoughtful alternative to the constant pressure of doing more. Instead of motivating through urgency, the book encourages readers to move forward with clarity, patience, and purpose, making its message both timeless and highly relevant.

BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF IN THE MOMENT

                                                         

These are my favorite 2 pages in the whole book:

“Make the most of yourself-for that is all there is of you.”

                                        —R a l p h Wa l d o E m e r s o n

You need to have a life’s purpose. You set long term goals, the BIG

PICTURE. This is good, it is good to have a master plan. But the

bottom line is, the best way to have a sense of purpose, to get where

you are destined to go, to reach your ultramarathon goal is to simply

be the best version of yourself in this given moment. Like when you

are running and want to quit, but you do your best to keep moving

ahead to that next telephone pole or tree, and then the next …

and do it all again. The reality is your life’s purpose is constantly

changing. Day to day, hour to hour, minute by minute. Look at

what has been put in your path at any given moment. Being the best

version of yourself in the moment should be your guide. Doing your

best at what you are best at. Guiding every decision. Guiding every

act. Constantly pause, and ask yourself, “Am I being the best version

of myself in this moment?” Helping the person in front of you that

was put in your life path. Putting your best effort on this hill, reps at

the gym, this bike ride and the ride of life. Making the most of your

time with the best you have to offer. You are here, so you may, as well

make the most of it with the unique skills and talents you have been

given. This means sometimes saying no, when you know you should.

Helping when you should help. Whatever project you are working

on, no matter how petty you perceive it at the time, do your best. Be

who you are. Be who you know you should be. Act how you know

you should act. Be the best version of yourself in this moment. Do

this and you will find the best version of yourself just keeps getting

better. Your life’s purpose.

Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: ENJOY THE MOMENTS:                                                                              “Life is made of moments not milestones.”                      ...

ENJOY THE MOMENTS

                                                             

“Life is made of moments not milestones.”

                                        Rose Kennedy

It is the petty things that stress us out. It is the moments of joy we miss

because we look for the big score or milestone. As Joe Paterno said,

“Don’t sweat the small stuff and it is all small stuff.” It is the ordinary

moment we need to stop and savor. My five-mile run this morning was

quite ordinary but beautiful. The things we tend to take for granted are

the things we should pause and savor. As they say, “stop and smell

the roses.” It is great to have big, big goals, or “I cannot wait until I

get this or that” but enjoy the process. Soak in the moments along

the way. Celebrate the “little wins” or accomplishments along the way.

These are the moments we must not miss, and we must be grateful,

for these are the moments that carry us through the rough patches.

These are the moments that bring us the most joy and satisfaction.

BE YOURSELF

 

“It sounds so simple, but if you just be yourself,

you’re different than anybody else.”

                                    —To n y B e n n e t t

Somewhere along the way, it happens. A slow insidious process

without you even knowing it, like the boiled frog that starts out

in cold water slowly turning up the temperature finding itself boiling

without realizing it happened. You lose your identity. You lose your

individuality. You become exactly who the world tells you you should

be. Can you remember who you were before this happened to you?

That is the person you need to re-connect with. Who you should be.

Your true individual unique self. Some folks never lose that spirit,

but most of us do because we have it sucked out of us in a system

designed to crank out uniform parts in a uniform system to satisfy

the needs of other people. Just remember to be yourself and always

to do your best. Be the best version of YOURSELF in the moment

doing what you are best at. That is perfection. You are quite unique.

One of a kind and can never be replaced. Make your own path.

Think outside the box. Think freely. Think creatively. Be original.

Learn from the past. Observe. Pay attention. Watch others. Take it

all in, then combine that with your own skills, talent, uniqueness,

free spirit and make it better. Make it your own. Free yourself up to

be your own person. Do what you and you alone were built to do. Do

what is interesting to you. You were born unique, one of a kind. Be

your natural self. Do what comes naturally. Be your true self. Play

to your strengths. Your value comes from who you are. You were

created perfectly for a purpose. Work at improving your skills that

fit with your unique spirit and purpose.

FOCUS ON THE PRESENT

                                                      

“You’ll have bad times, but it’ll always wake you up

to the good stuff you weren’t paying attention to.”

                                        Good Will Hunting

When you are feeling anxious or overwhelmed, remember, slow your

mind down and focus on the present. Pay attention in the moment.

It is like being at mile 20 of a 100-mile ultramarathon, if you start

thinking about how you are going to finish or what mile 80 is going

to look like, your mind and thoughts will race ahead and get the best

of you. Instead, focus on what is right in front of you. Put one foot in

front of the other and focus, concentrate on getting to the next mile

marker. Keep going. Break it down into smaller sections. Just get

to that next telephone pole. Smaller, manageable, bite size chunks.

Avoid thinking about all the things that may go wrong. Stay focused

on the present situation. Seize the present moment. Concentrate. Do

the work. Prepare. Do not look back or do not dwell on regret. Avoid

imagined anxiety or troubles that may or may not come about ahead.

Focus and concentrate on the present. The task at hand. Avoid being

distracted by frustration or fear. Focus on now and be where you are

because right now is all we have.
