3 Words - 2018


PECIt's that time of year again. People making resolutions, life-improving statements etc. For a while now I have gone with the 3 words approach, started by Chris Brogan. And as usual, I am late posting them! 

 Last year my 3 words were Explore, Minimize and Laugh. I would say I was mildly successful with these words.  I did a lot of exploring, especially at my new place in Prince Edward County. I did begin to minimize, especially with my closet and I had a ton of laughs throughout the year. That being said 2017 turned out to be a somewhat challenging year due to forces beyond my control. It forced me to change course when I wasn't fully ready for it. With this mind, my 3 words for 2018 reflect part of what I had to go through and how I can better prepare myself for the future.

 After much thought and quick note taking, I was able to come up with my 3 words for 2018:

 Bulid: As I mentioned 2017 threw me a few curve balls but also left me with tremendous opportunity. Build represents taking the steps to build my business, my network and my relationships.

 Adjust: Well things don't always (or ever) go as planned. So instead of wallowing in what could've been, in 2018 I'm going to adjust instead and make the necessary changes to stay on track and have the best year ever.

 Challenge: I am going to challenge the status quo, the norms and most of all myself. It's time to get out of my comfort zone and step up to the challenge that I have in front of me.

 There they are, my 3 words for 2018.

 Do you come up with 3 words each year? Or do you have another New Year ritual? I would love to hear about what you do.

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.
