Pooped or Pepped
An original Jon Gordon email newsletter from January 2006… What can a little 3 month old puppy teach me about the keys to happiness and success? Everything! The other day as I was about to take our new puppy, Dharma, for a walk I stood outside the door with a leash in one hand and a plastic bag in the other and I thought to myself, “Great, I’m going to be picking up dog poop every day for about the next 13 years.” I even did the math and counted 3 poops a day times 365 days times…
Today, push
“If you have enough push, you don’t have to worry about the pull.” – Zig Ziglar The lucky ones are lucky because they push. They push, they don’t cram. Push is about what you do every day, it’s not about frantic cramming seven times on Saturday. It’s about the daily habits and disciplines that create and cultivate the environment to attract what you want, to allow yourself to be drawn into situations of discovery and opportunity. If you’re not pushing – pushing yourself – you’re missing out on possibility. So today, push. The post Today, push appeared

Work is where the WIFI is (with LogMeIn)
Once upon a time, nobody had much flexibility. But with mobile technology, suddenly our lives have opened up to numerous possibilities. I used LogMeIn to work remotely for a week, but this is not quite a “review” in the traditional sense. Last week I was working remotely. But I was in fact working at home. How could this be? Did…

Amazon AStore
Since 2006 I have been recommending helpful products and until a few months ago, had a link to the GPYB Amazon aStore. As some of the website was (if you remember) somewhat degraded in a massive server meltdown, it went away and I didn’t really notice (sorry!) Someone asked me today for the link to
Quotes of Wisdom: Frithjof Schuon on Man’s Attachment to the Material World
Fascinated alike by scientific phenomena and by the erroneous conclusions he draws from them, man has ended by being submerged by his own creations; he will not realize that a traditional message is situated on quite a different plane or how much more real that plane is, and he allows himself to be dazzled all … Related

Dealing with Devastation
An original Jon Gordon email newsletter from September 2005… This week I am reminded that teachers are found everywhere in all situations. In a boy’s pain; in the flooded homes of New Orleans; in a Mississippi neighborhood, in the generosity of strangers helping strangers; and in my own heart that shows me the way. A woman called me this week. She and her husband were getting separated and after talking to their children, her son was taking it the hardest. Any one who has ever been through a separation or divorce knows how devastating it is for children. She went into his room to talk with him alone. With tears streaming down his…

I wrote this on RopeBurns this morning and thought I would share it here as it’s the most important message any of us needs to learn. Don’t waste time on the pitiful wastes of good oxygen that are bananaheads. I saw this plane go down that day. I was on the last ferry to Hoboken

Some things are just not about you
There are some things that are beyond your control. You might not get the job or win your true love or make the sale…and it might just have nothing at all to do with you. No use gnawing on the bone – get back out there and try again. My daughters love to perform. They both dance. They both sing. They both ham it up. And they have been through several auditions for TV, movies and educational videos. So far, none of the auditions have made them into superstars. In fact, there has not been a single call-back. In some cases, I can guess what might have been the reason. There are often numerous factors that are stated in…
