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.

Quantum relativity, my thoughts after 22 years of studying thinking on it

A Hypothesis on the relation of all things, and the absence of dark matter. Hypothesis: everything exists. Nothing does not. The appearance and physiological traits of any quantum particle, remain muted, until interacted with through an energetic force. Once energy hits, a quantum particle, its inherent qualities come to like, augmented by, and for the interaction. Each interaction type, causes quantum particles to behave and grow/deplete/mutate differently than other interaction types. Interaction types include Sound Light Physical Sent Thought Feeling/emotion All reverberate differently, with varied reactions, and in line with both Newtonian physics and relativity. If something is not relevant, it stays muted in a seeming void, which is actually all that is, was, and will be. When it is relative to an energy source, it becomes active, changeable to other areas/acts:aspects of energy. It grows, or depletes indirect response. The mean Upon the dark, formless void. From the darkness, th...

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...

Startup Weekend_One week later

It's been one week since the Startup Weekend in Salt Lake and I've had a bit of time to process the event, the outcome and my personal experiences with this phenomenal three day marathon. First, let me say that I heard of this event after complaining that Utah didn't have a lot of entrepreneurial type conferences. I take back some of what I said and have to admit, if a single event were to come to this state in lieu of all others, I'd be okay with Startup Weekend being that event. For those of you not familiar, this is a competition where people pitch ideas, research, plan and execute a group of start up businesses in a three day period. That said, here's more about the event- what I would do differently, some of my favorite aspects and what's happened since last Saturday. If I had it all to do over again, I'd do almost all of it different. I don't know if I've ever felt that way before, but it's true for Startup Weekend. For example, I would ha...
