Free Solo – “Thank God that’s over” I recently saw the movie, Free Solo. It is about Alex Honnold and his quest to be the first person to free-solo El Capitan in Yosemite National Park.

Putting Out Fires vs. Taking Care of Business We will have stuff come up in our lives – the flat tires, the appliances that need replacing, the sick kid who rearranges your schedule, unforeseen urgencies that demand time, attention, and resources . . .

Impossible To Do Better Than Our Thinking Will Allow It is impossible to do better than our thinking will allow. We cannot out-perform our self-image, who we think we are.
