3 Words - 2016

It's time to write about my 3 words of 2016. This is always a fun way to start the year and it works better than setting a resolution that you won't follow through on.  

 Chris Brogan started the 3 words deal back in 2006. It's easy and it works this way: you choose 3 words to help you shape the coming year. See really easy

To review 2015, my words were: 

 Gratitude
Present
Health

For the most part I did pretty well with these. At times all three of these were a challenge, but that makes this exercise so worthwhile.  And just because I'm moving to three new words by no means am I going to stop focusing on last year's words.


Here are my 2016 3 Words, in no particular order:

1) Begin: Get started! Man I come up with lots and lots of ideas, concepts etc, but I never really ever actually do anything about it. This year I am going to BEGIN. I will jump into a few of these ideas and just go and see where it takes me.

2) Question: I'm going to ask more questions and gain more knowledge. I used to be better at this and in my younger years. 

3) Calm: Stay calm! Sometimes it is so hard for me remain calm. I am going to live a calmer, peaceful life in 2016. Meditation has really started paving the way for this.

There you have it, my 2016 3 words.

3 Words - 2020

Here they are, my 3 words for 2020. Funny thing I can't find my 3 words from 2019, I know I had them just didn't blog them. Shouldn't have tossed out that post-it note. Oh well on with the present. 2020 3 Words: Resilience -  Resilience is defined as "   the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness." If  the craziness of 2019 taught me anything it's that I have to be more resilient.  Having endured multiple career setbacks in 2019 it would be easy to just give up, but what fun would that be. 2020 is my year so I'm going to be tough and manage to overcome the difficulties that life throws at me. Plan - I need to make a better effort of creating concrete plans and sticking to them. If the plan doesn't work scrap it and come up with a new one...but plan. For too long I have just shown up and left things to "fate" (more on that for a later post). Stillness - Create more time for meditation, reflection

2nd best ride ever!

Aloha... Well after a long, painful build process, I got to ride my new Single Speed Rossin custom this morning. What a great ride. It put such a big smile on my face. The only better ride I have ever had was a few years back when I rode a Turner MTB at Buckwallow. This bike is the result of my personal cycling/design style and the custom genius of my good friend Shawn Collison of Collison Custom Cycle (C3). (Also a shout out to the Dudes at Bike Zone Mississauga for their help). As an old time BMX guy, I have never been comfortable with gears. At the most I was using about 3 of the 21 + gears I have had on various bikes. That is why I love the Single Speed, no gears to mess with and a great looking style to boot. I am currently riding a 42 -16 gear ratio with a 700C x 23 wheel/tire combo . Worked out very well this morning, but I may need to experiment a little bit with the gearing. I will take some pictures and post tomorrow. The bike is awesome...can't wait to show you.
