One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In baseball I was a catcher -

I once caught a triple header
in the 104 degree Texas heat
AND threw out 3 base runners in one inning.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that real joy in life comes from finding your true purpose and aligning it with what you do every day.

For me that is knowing what I call my "Telos".
The study of Teleology is the study of meaning and purpose. The root word there is Telos.

noun te·los \ˈte-ˌläs, ˈtē-\
Definition of TELOS
:  an ultimate object or aim

We use a TELEphone to talk to people that are far away. We use a TELEscope to focus on objects millions of miles away. I believe that people should find their personal "Telos". The definite material and non material things (or objects) that inspire, uplift, excite, and energize one's entire being.

Below is a list of my 4 highest values. These collectively point to my personal Telos. I sit down once a year and set awesome goals around them:

Connect
Learn
Invest
Travel

I also learned at a young age that acronyms help a person remember things 😂

“The future has many names. For the weak, it’s unattainable. For the fearful, it’s unknown. For the bold, it’s ideal.
—VICTOR HUGO”
