I came across Michael Hyatt’s blog a few years ago while working in radio marketing. At the time, I was a sponge for anything leadership-oriented, always looking for relevant ways to apply it to my job. I’ve since ventured away from that role and into a few others, among them, director of marketing for a physical therapy practice, professional writer for several local companies/organizations, home business novice, and most significantly (and encompassing all of the above), stay at home/work at home mom. Still, despite all of the changes–and the dramatic difference in composition of my day-to-day life, I crave motivational and inspirational writing on a regular basis. I highly value the opportunity to learn from those around me who have done more, seen more, experienced more and lived more than I have in my near-thirty years’ existence. In the same ways that reading book after book will keep you sharp, staying on top of bloggers who offer little tidbits of wisdom with regularity can really sharpen the saw. For me, Michael Hyatt is one of those.

In the past week, this entry is the one that struck me the most. In the interest of embracing life to my fullest capacity this year, I have put most of these suggestions into practice on one level or another. There are still a few areas that need substantial work, and I have room to improve on all of them, but I was encouraged to scour the list the other day and to be able to affirm the majority in my daily life. I would have attempted to write this list myself here over the next few months, but Hyatt has done it better. Thus, I  defer to his wisdom and express gratitude for his ability to capture my thoughts from a more credible position 🙂

I highly recommend the post, and furthermore, subscribing to his blog. It is one of the motivating factors in my morning each day.

happy to gain wisdom from the wise,
