Why the title "There is a better way"?

Well here I am. My first blog! This is something I've wanted to do for years, but FINALLY it has come to pass. Where's the champagne?!
I guess for my first post I should at least explain why I chose this title for my blog.
When I was a boy of 9 or 10 years old, my family lived in St. Louis, MO. A large bank there called Boatman's Bank was running an extensive marketing campaign during that time. At the end of each of their commercials there was a tag line that was sung. It was female voice simply singing the words, "There is a better way". The idea of there being a better way of doing things infatuated me. What if I looked at life that way? Well, that's pretty much been a theme of my life since. I tend to look at any situation with an attitude of:
"There is a better way... now, let's find it!"

Long Term Vision


During the day I work for 88.1 WVPE Public Radio here in Elkhart. http://www.wvpe.org/ I receive a weekly "pointer" e-mail from American Public Media http://www.apmstations.org/. This week I received the following pointer. I thought of you and wanted to share it.

"To achieve the results you truly desire, you have to know what success looks like. Sometimes embracing that vision is hard to do in the heat of the day. Try doing a visualization exercise where you actually pay a visit to yourself in 20 years. Ask yourself to notice where you live, what you are wearing, who is with you. Any surprises? Afterword, think about what actions you might be taking right now that put you on the path to that future. "

What do you think? I'd love to hear your comments!
