Today’s blog is a repeat from many years ago and comes to you courtesy of John Jain. Although I have had plenty of time to write, authoring so many blogs over the years sometimes results in my river of inspiration running dry. John was kind enough to pinch hit for me today. Read on and enjoy his pearls of wisdom for the day!
MORNING WALK
Kristi asked me if I wanted to go for a walk this morning. There are mornings when we lazy around and enjoy our coffee a little longer than usual. Not today. When I bolted out of bed and started to put on my walking attire, she said “That was a no hesitation kind of move Jain!” This is a quote from Hamish Patterson. In case you are wondering who that is, allow me to explain.
TRUSTY RUSTIES
Recently a friend introduced me to You-Tuber Hamish Patterson. This guy looks like a middle-aged southern California surfer dude with long sun-bleached hair. He demonstrates how to give himself a “bowl cut” in just over six minutes. He does this shirtless, with a toddler fidgeting in his lap. He uses an old pair of rusty scissors from the tool shed affectionately known as his “trusty rusties.” In a no hesitation kind of move, he chops a semi-straight line across his bangs then proceeds to finish the with the aid of his carburetor mirror and completed the entire bowl cut for over 2 million You-tube viewers. If you haven’t seen it, may I recommend you indulge yourself in a 6-minute no brainer. It’s funny.
GET IT DONE
In the months since I first saw this video, my mantra has become “It’s a no hesitation kind of move.” I’ve heard this concept before in other terms. Nike said it in the eighties with the slogan “Just Do It!” In her motivational speeches, Mel Robbins says “Countdown 5-4-3-2-1 blast off.” Her premise is it takes only 5 seconds for the brain to come up with myriad reasons not to do something. Moral of the story, there is no time like the present. Just get it done.
NO HESITATION
Life occurs in cycles. For example, you can watch the same movie or read a book more than once and get something new out the experience each time. You receive the message at a time in your life when it is pertinent, and you realize you’ve heard same message many times in the past but your understanding was limited until that pivotal illuminating moment.
NEXT TIME
Next time don’t overthink or hesitate. Often it only takes only a few minutes to get something done. Doing this enables you to enjoy the satisfaction of having a completed your “to do list” as well as being able to relish your evenings in a much more satisfying manner.
