Breakfast in a Bathtub

This morning I cooked myself a nice little sausage, egg, cheese, muffin sandwich and I was generous with the Grey Poupon. Ingrid was getting ready for a dentist appointment and I brought my breakfast upstairs to hang out with her while she was drying her hair. On a whim, I decided to get comfortable in our bathtub and lounge back while enjoying my tasty egg sandwich. While I was lying there, I began looking around our bathroom. From that perspective, things looked different. I started thinking about a blog post. "I'm weird" I thought. Ingrid and were discussing being Eagles and Falcons (NOT the football teams) and I knew I was weird. I always suspected it, but now it was confirmed. I sat in the tub with a smile, embracing the idea of "weirdness" and being perfectly content. "I am what I am", as Popeye used to say.

Occasionally, we need a change of perspective to break the patterns and habits we get ourselves into. When we are in a habit with our businesses, it's difficult to see things differently. I suggest you ask friends or clients how they see you. You may be surprised. I often am. A few simple questions could have big implications for your bank account and the direction of your life.

Are you living up to your potential? Ask your circle of friends. Or, perhaps it's time for dinner in a tree.

HAHA. i can see you in the tub with lots of rings on your fingers, sunglasses on, mimosas, and possibly a cigar (after breakfast), having conversations of perception

HAHA Joey! You make me smile. (The cigar would have to be smoked outside in my jacuzzi). And of course, it's all about perception (and monopoly).
