The truth is rarely heard as stated

One mile up the road from Wild Goose Island. A rare roadside close Grizzly bear encounter.
From the car, 7:00 PM. Sunset is 9:20 PM.
Four miles was a great way to close the day.

Son, the truth is rarely heard as stated.

Picture a conversation i used to have with myself between 1979 (age 20) and 1999 (40):

“Yes, i want to be vibrantly healthy. Why am i not? Too busy. Too stressed. Too tired. Someday. Maybe tomorrow. Yes, i’ll start tomorrow.”

Then i began hearing some faint accountability:

“Today is yesterday’s tomorrow. If not now, when? If not ever, why?”

Son, accountability is one of four key blueprints for personal (and corporate) leadership.

The only thing you can count on

Easy 3-mile round trip hike. Oberlin was first choice but clouds over-ruled.
Have never seen Haystack framed like this. Inspiring.
Majestic views consistently appear no matter when you hike, or where you hike, Glacier’s 734 miles of trail.
Moments later.

Son, the only thing you can count on is change.

Change is constant.

Change can happen in the blink of an eye.

Change can be slow as a Ptarmigan.

Embrace all of it.

Be active, eat and sleep well.

Stretch.

Keep your core fit.

Find a million ways to stay motivated.

Adapt and overcome

Yesterday near 8AM, getting ice for medicinal use.

Hiking at elevation and for long distances takes getting used to. 

Like most things, there’s a break-in period. 

Sore feet?

Ice them. 

Rest them. 

Elevate them. 

The hike, in the snow/hail, down from Iceberg Lake three days ago had us pushing ourselves in a non-planned way. 

We rushed our descent.

Cold is one thing but cold and wet is dangerous.

GOAT

Mountain Goats
We took the path less chosen.
Three mothers, three adolescents, and three babies.

GOAT.

Greatest of all time?

No.

Mountain Goat.

Nine total.

They walked and grazed right by us.

What’s your Chief Mountain?

Chief Mountain
Chief Mountain is the right-most peak before the Great Plains, as you drive North.

Chief Mountain is the Blackfeet omnipotent deity.

Organizational leadership requires principles, values and most importantly, behaviors.

Personal leadership is exactly the same.

If you have youth (child, niece, or cousin) that you are directly or indirectly responsible to set a great example, you better be focused on personal leadership.

Why?

Your actions teach more than words ever will.
