Always be Batman.

After a 5am text and a 6:30 call back, the morning began. Filled with complex issues we'd been wrestling with in the oil & gas world, my cohort and I discussed all available options, regardless of feasibility or implications. The conversation was rewarding and my mind went alight.

Then the morning took a brief turn when another conversation became doubt filled and worrisome.

In comes my email box.

First subject line: Always be Batman.
(Thanks, Hot Topic)

In business, I have the choice to be any version of my self to make the most money or to cover any inadequacies. All people have that choice and at times, my insecurities have caused me to behave in a manner or to represent myself in a way that wasn't true to me. Today, I've learned that having mentors, admitting shortcomings and finding flexibilities in my fields are the best way to both learn to be of the most value to my peers and also to propel myself the farthest.

I love my work and now that I have moved into a field of utmost importance in my mind, I am grateful for the Batman like abilities we have to fix complex problems and bring about a myriad of solutions to any particular situation. Even if an idea isn't correct, it may eliminate an option and is still of some value. If you've seen the Lego movie, you may also appreciate that the song "Everything is Awesome" is my families song of the summer this year. When you're part of a team, everything is awesome. I am not just my value, I am also the value of those around me and in some cases, their associated networks.Some of us are working on providing a clean earth solution in a variety of fields and I'm working with minds that enlighten me with new information daily. I am grateful.

I know somewhat what I'm doing and am sure I am on my correct path, so details of the world are quickly falling from sight. A focused vision is what compels Batman to always be Batman. If we, all a Bruce Wayne in daily life regardless of social class, decide to be Batman in our realm, focusing on what is important to us for the world that we live in, many complex issues would be solved simply and through collaboration. It only takes a few of us to move a mountain.

Clearing out your spaces

For the last part of 2011, I suggest on my Facebook page and will duplicate the suggestion here, that you clean out your spaces. From offices to people, from thoughts to visualizations, it's time to clean up anything that stands between you and your goals for the future. 2012 is going to be monumental-where do you want to be? Head into that office space, tackle the filing cabinet and get an orderly system together so that you can be successful and calm while you complete tasls and meet goals. You will feel better and more focused if you know where your working items are and your space will be supportive of you meeting your goals and making it through obstacles. Put up an old fashioned calendar to keep you reminded of important dates and meeting times before they get there. Think of what you will need to succeed and contact anyone you could use for advice and mentoring. Your thoughts will create your reality and if there are any blank spaces or questions, use your social media or ...

Past My Limit or Internal Lies. Three tips on personal motivation.

Every time I say to myself that I have reached my limit or that I'm past my limit, I have the instant emotional response that it's just not true. Like most, throughout my life I've had a variety of experiences, some pretty harsh trials and many lessons in endurance and perseverance. Here's a few tips on how to keep going when you feel there is no possible way you can. 1. Ignore reality. Not completely, but in some ways ignore the elements that make you feel there is no way out. Relationships that are ending, finances that are drained and the faith of others in your talents that has just run out are all real and actual problems. In personal and professional realms, there are times when you just can't see moving forward nor feel you have the strength to do so. I suggest you ignore it a little and get out of your current perspective. I can recall the day I drove into Millcreek Broadcasting, a small Utah radio group, to apply for a job. At twenty two I hadn't h...

Social Networking

I am a frequent visitor of Sedona , AZ. My favorite past time is to visit the Shambalah Healing Center, home to the Llama's and Ani's in assistance to the Buddah Maitreya. I have had the opportunity to hear the words of Llama Ian, who helped to calm me at a difficult time. I heard the words of The Buddah , which helped me to understand my relations and their value. I don't have an exact quote, however, the basis of The Buddah's comment was how technology and modern communications have altered and sped up the human relationship. Where it used to take us months or years to have a conversation across long distances-the phone, the cell phone, pager, text and internet have sped us up. We can now have real-time conversations with the masses-without using our voice, resources or going anywhere. This enables us to know more people, get to know them faster, extract the value from a relationship in a shorter period of time and-yes, move on. What does all this have to do with...
