In this M5T redux refined, here are a few ways some of the worlds’ best and brightest adopted to keep their days productive.
..... this Monday morning I drop some F-Bombs that are far more uplifting, healthier, and less-likely to be autocorrected on my computer.
I had the track to myself as I stepped out of the elevator onto the roof of the grandstand. I took pause to appreciate the simplicity and beauty of the moment, to center my mind, and to thank God for such a gift as this.
Cleaning up some images in storage this last week took me down a long road of reminiscing over epic memories and moments that surpassed the usual or ordinary in my life. This morning’s M5T shares some epic moments that still feel larger than life.
We’ve all been confronted with the good, the bad and ugly of uses of power by others. We’ve all used the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of power for ourselves. This morning’s M5T considers Power Moves that enable us to live better, love better, and to simply be better, if only for ourselves first.
This morning’s M5T is inspired by a Parisian couple, who I assume have long since passed, framed with quotes of others who have a way with words about love.
As I walked through the paddocks and then took pause to sit on the pit-wall to take in the moment, this morning’s M5T took form as I mused on ‘One”.
The 61st running of the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona was another success.
An unexpected image framed this morning’s M5T with thoughts of consciously seeking and living The Unexpected.
The beauty, the color, and the texture of a tapestry as seen from the front is juxtaposed by the back of a tapestry that looks disjointed, hectic, frayed, frantic and knotted. In a word, chaotic.
Martin Luther King, Jr., was only 39 years old when he was assassinated almost 55 years ago on the balcony outside of room 306 of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. King spent less than 13 years campaigning for civil rights and racial equality and was arrested 30 times for his work. This morning’s M5T shares some quotes from the man who had a dream.
A meandering five-hour drive back to Savannah after Christmas weekend gave me ample time to think about what else I could do. This morning’s M5T asks some questions inspired by Encanto.
2023 Tybee Polar Plunge
If you’ve read M5T over the years, you’ll know that I don’t believe in resolutions. Rather, I start each new year with 5 words that I will try to incorporate and internalize into my life for the year. So, with thanks for the inspiration from King João V, bats, and to you for taking the time to read these words, this morning’s M5T shares my 5 words for 2023.
With one week left in 2022, in between travel, family, friends, food, and libations, I have once again begun to make lists to start 2023. This morning’s M5T lists some of my lists. What and who is on yours?
This morning’s M5T was written with sprezzatura and a nod to the art of living as such.
This morning, M5T is an homage to the venerable Zamboni that all rink-rats dream of driving.
IMHO, this morning’s M5T offers up a lighthearted start to the week.
Today M5T considers the wisdom that can only be garnered from the passage of time, from all the Novembers and the other months of each year, and a willingness to fully embrace and experience all that life unfolds for us each and every day.
As we start this week leading up to Thanksgiving, I have spent a lot of time being just that. Thankful. Thankful for so many and so much in my life and yet I have this sense of restlessness as the end of the year approaches. A restlessness that, I think, is a healthy state of state. A state of mind of pressing on. Pressing on to affirmative attitudes, constructive changes, elevated expectations, and fearless faith. And so, this morning’s M5T Presses On.
As you start your week, this morning’s M5T offers up some perspectives for a passionate life, some food for thought, a veritable feast of wisdom if you would, from the Stoics.
So, it's the dawn of my sixth decade. I spent some time these past few weeks considering the most important things in my life. The people that I love. The work that I do. The ways in which I spend my time. This morning’s M5T, if you will bear with me, shares 60 snippets, personal perspectives on life if you would, all wrapped up in 5 Things.
And so, my fellow M5Ters, with an attitude of forbearance, this morning we consider the virtue of patience as October draws to a close and we head into November. And why is that damn car in front of me going so slow??? Don’t you know I have places to go, people to see, and things to get done???
