HW Episode V - Fighting Bulge and Budget, Being Disagreeable

By


Part I.  Inspiration for the day-to-day fight 


Budget and Bulge are best fought with daily disciple. For some things you simply need to have the ability to grind every day and make things happen.   You either count calories or count points or fat grams, but in one way or another, you're counting something.  Budget is the same - counting all those dollars that come in and leave, temporary visitors to your checking account.

These things can be taxing. As part of the LifeSPARC process we talk about renewal. Using the small part of our brain that is called to fight for what is right vs. what is fun/yummy is a work in futility. Eventually we exhaust our fuel to do the right thing.

So, here's a some resources on how to get inspired, or Renewed, the 'R' in SPARC.


I love infographics even though they're fairly difficult to consume - hard to see on the screen and hard to print, but they're cool.


Section II - Tech 

We're all interested in what's coming next, or at least what's cool in the 'cool' crowd.   Tech Crunch has their Crunchies

Finally, don't think just because you're a person who's got HappyWisdom that you can't be inflexible.  Naturally nice people may need to learn this trait, but being unpleasant, or at least not caring what your network thinks of you, is a huge indicator of your potential for business success.


That is it for now!  Stay tuned for the next update on Happy Wisdom Wednesday!

How to Deal with Office Darwinism

What is it with New Yorkers and Seattle? First they blasted us out of our coffee-induced happy-place with a piece on how everyone west of Interstate 5 will be cast into the Pacific Ocean by a massive, continent changing earthquake, putting the odds at 33% that it'd happen within fifty years. Now we have this this one on Amazon   and how they've built a modern day Hunger Games workplace. You see, it is well known in the Seattle area that Amazon does not consider work-life balance or anything remotely like that. Everyone in the area knows this, because we all know a friend or a spouse that worked or used to work there.   Its not a sweatshop, but its close.   Most people know this going on an interview there know this.  They figure they'll stay four years until they vest and they get out.  If they survive the infighting and bullying, that is. But I have to admit it - I had no idea how bad it really was.  If half the things in this article are true it's th...

How Can We Be Happy in Today's World?

  Its a tough world we live in.  Tough not necessarily in worldly goods, but in the general sense of security I must believe the early 21st century isn't doing so well.  I am of course talking about the shootings in my own country, and the repeated terror attacks, with scores of people horribly murdered. That this world is full of darkness and that mankind can be horrible to itself is not new information, but we seem to be so much more aware of it these days.   Fear, as I covered in my first Sway presentation , is not conducive to goal creation or the pursuit of dreams.  Getting your dreams accomplished isn't super high on the list when you're existentially afraid for your country, your kids, yourself.  These trying times take us down Maslow's Hierarchy , and it is well known that we make poor decisions when operating in a place of fear.   Should we pursue our dreams when faced with such a world?  I think we have to, because this...
