Big deal. So what? Who cares?

For what it is worth, and perhaps it is not worth much, today marks "half-time" for 2008.
Yes, my friends, time does fly ... and waits for no man, woman or child.

And as in sports, "half-time" has been the designated period to pause, relax,
refresh, rethink, refocus and to get ready for Part #2.
So, unlike any other week in the year, and this being a short week,
I am suggesting that you use the next four days to
reflect on your first half and decide what changes, modifications,
alterations or apologies you need to make before pressing on
come Monday, July 6th.

How is that for permission to goof off for a few days?

But, I am a tad smarter than you might think.
I know that many, if not most of you, will not change your ways this week ...
or any other week.

You will continue to press on blindly towards "who knows where."
And who am I to question this behavior? If it is working satisfactorily for you, I say, "Press On."

But, as the old woodsman story goes, he who sharpens his axe has a better chance of
cutting more wood in a designated period of time.

So, take the next four days to "sharpen" your game plan. Think about the first half of the year. Learn what you can from it.
Think about the second half of the year ... and how you can use what you learned from the first half to your best advantage.
Forgive yourself if necessary and challenge yourself beyond your current comfort zone.
Give yourself something to shoot for ... a goal ... a target ... a dream.

Then, take the 4th of July weekend off and enjoy your family and friends to the max.

Monday begins your second half.
And it is in this half where you turn up the burners and win the game.

Enjoy the week THINKING.
I plan to be practicing what I preach along with you.

Mike Marchev
