Ignore Small Annoyances To Gain Great Results

My friend Courtney of Ride to Remedy gave me this fortune. Even though I moved my daily fortunes over to FortunateBluFrog I wanted to post this one from Courtney as it goes with my day.

This morning I got up to go to the gym. I noticed that the door to the dining room was closed and only Oliver was in the living room. Oh No, I opened the door and my olfactory senses smacked me into reality. Duncan was locked in the dining room overnight. 5:00am and cat crap = not my favorite Monday.

So then I went to work and find that someone had been using my desk on Friday. This is not really a big deal most of the time because we are set up to have people sit at any desk in the entire company. However, if you sit at someone’s desk you don’t change their set, move their stuff and knock over their toys. You know the feeling you get when the chair you sit in every day is not what you are used to. That was what I was feeling all day.

Now before you go thinking I am just complaining hold on I have a point. These were just small annoyances. Things could always be worse. So, are there some small annoyances that you are putting up with right now to gain great results in the future?

Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs II is this weekend. The event is being sponsored by IZEA. They gave me money to throw a great event for a cause and I’m so excited to work with Speed of Thought Playhouse to host a great evening LIVE and online. Stop by my post titled Being Responsible and leave a comment about the event please.

Wii Bowl-A-Thon

Wii Bowl-A-Thon
Photo-A-Day #1453

Tonight I did my Virtual Bowl-A-Thon on the Wii. I bowled two games in an effort to raise money for the Niemann-Pick Children’s Fund. Dina Riccobono of Market Leverage encouraged me to do this since I could not make it to the event that they held down in Florida. So, I was there in spirit. I did pretty well too. You can watch the recorded video from Stickcam, which shows the games as they are played.

I also created a video after and during the bowling.

It was fun, I wish that there were people in the chat room that I could talk to between each frame or each game but that is okay. What I really hope is that people will sponsor me at $0.10 a pin per game. I bowled a 181 in Game 1 and a 191 in Game 2. It must have been something about bowling for charity because that was the best I’d bowled in a long time and I even made (Pro) in Wii Bowling after Game 1. So if you’d like to donate $18.10 for Game one or $19.10 for Game two or even $37.20 for the whole night then please go directly to The Niemann-Pick Children’s Fund Donation page. (You could round things up 🙂 I won’t tell 🙂 )

The other part of this was that I sent down some hats and some calendars to give as door prizes to the people who participated. I even sponsored Tim Jones on Team Affiliate Summit. I hope that he did well. His team came in second overall so that is great to hear.

Here are a couple more of the photos I took using the intervalometer while I bowled.

I can’t believe how trim I look in this shot, camera angles I guess.
