The Cut!!!!!

Brad:

Today has been an odd day. Kind of like a day off... Although I still did some work. So I guess not a day off, maybe a half day off. I was up at 5:30 to go rowing this morning. Got home at about 10 and then had a short lie down (which ended up being 3 hours of much needed sleep). I went to YES group north in the evening (http://www.yes-group-north.blogspot.com/) to see Margaret Nolan speak. After I had taken all the photos I needed I listened to Margaret's talk about the triad of change, the seasons of well being and energetic intelligence. The one thing that really stood out for me was that if there is a problem in your life, as an example let say a sore arm, then going for treatment to fix the arm won't be as effective. It is better to see what behavior we did to cause the sore arm and what we focused on that caused our arm to be sore. By changing the behavior and the focus you are treating the cause of the sore arm and not just the symptom of the sore arm. Thus delivering a more sustainable solution. 

The Beard:

Major News on the beard front. I trimmed my beard. As much as I was thinking I would just let it grow till I reached financial freedom it just makes sense to trim it and keep it manageable and presentable. Especially seen as I meet with lots of people. Anyway I took some photos to show you all the transformation.

The 1st one is my beard at its longest. The 2nd I trimmed the beard with hair clippers on a no.4 blade. The 3rd I trimmed the beard on a no.2 blade and the last one I thought to myself seen as I've got the clippers out and I need a haircut I might as well just do it... So I did. I cut my hair as well as my beard. Let me know what you think.

 

Financial Freedom:

I did have a day off today... Well half a day at least. Today I didn't take a massive step towards financial freedom although I did talk to a couple of friends at the YES group who helped me define what it is I am after and look at some possible options of how I can get there. I like talking to people about possibilities. Its so refreshing compared to all the recession news we hear all the time.
