I guess it is fair to say that the greatest #curse I have ever witnessed #placed on someone, is the #power of giving up, and/or #failure at the first sign of a #true #challenge as such.
To undo it, you have to just #try again. And in that #moment you realize that #success is #empowered to find you again, after asking to ensure you're still there and committed to hold the balance of power elsewhere by the same #commitment in turn.
In this clip, we explore the importance of being the best version of yourself in a relationship. Are you honoring your commitment to your partner? Let's dive into what it means to truly support and uplift each other!#RelationshipGoals #Commitment #SelfImprovement #Love #Partnership

3. At least 1 person that has emergency access to the server infrastructure
-> Here, I'm not sure. Is fedihost.co enough or do I need an actual person?
4. Commitment to give at least a 3 months warning if the server is shutting down
-> 3 months can be quite a lot. I think it would require a level of #commitment from my part. Am I actually ready to do this?

"A bucket list requires a blueprint. You can’t just hope to succeed. You need to engineer the outcome." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Ok, I'm back to my spinal recovery thing, but I'm damned excited!
You don't often get these tee times in your account!
April.
Old Course, St. Andrews.
And so with that, it was 'rotation day' yesterday!
What is 'rotation day'? It's the first day of exercises designed specifically to get my previously injured spine ready for the mechanics of the golf swing.
I've done the cardio. I've done the work to get the core back in shape. I'm doing the heavy lifting. I've put in the work. Here's 30 days of effort. I don't do this to brag; I share it to say, "I've put in the work."
(The workouts include walking - if I exclude that, I still had 28 solid days at the gym out of the last 30).
Rotation day involves doing a series of exercises that twist your body, torso, and spine.
All the things you couldn't and shouldn't do in the early stages of an L1 to L3 spinal fracture.
As I was doing this routine yesterday, I kept reminding myself that to make a bucket list item work, you've got to put in the work. I can't hope to show up in early April, swing a golf club after this situation, and expect a great round. I've got to put to work the muscles that were not put to work, and some of which were battered and bruised in the fall, to work.
On April 6, I'll tee off at the Old Course.
Pure bucket list.
You can't get to a bucket list if the potential for the bucket has been interrupted by circumstances.
You've got to push through the circumstances.
Fore!

Futurist Jim Carroll hopes for 4 days of extraordinary golf at St. Andrews in early April.

"One-on-one #relationships aren’t the problem if they aren’t imposed upon by belief, if someone’s intrinsic #sensibility is coming alive and they’re exploring newness with one person when they can’t find others to do that with. It’s a journey of #discovery with the person they would rather be with than any other they know. That’s a snapshot of current reality, not a permanent #commitment."

A quotation from Thomas Carlyle
For the Scepticism, as I said, is not intellectual only; it is moral also; a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul. A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things.
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Lecture (1840-05-19), “The Hero as Man of Letters,” Home House, Portman Square, London

"The most powerful force in nature is the steady, quiet drip of persistence." - Futurist Jim Carroll
A shoutout to my good friend Greg today!
And I certainly appreciate the guy - he was one of the first to show up at the shopping mall at 8 am for my morning 'mall walks' when I was in the early stages of my spinal injury. (Jim Estill appeared, too, as did a few others! All are appreciated!)
He and I have been good friends since our sons met in school some twenty years ago. A lot of golf together (Arizona!), a lot of talk about tech and business, and a lot of talk about how careers wind down.
A lot has changed for Greg in a short period of time, and for me, there is a lot to learn from watching and encouraging him. First and foremost - real change isn't a single, grand event; it is the compounding effect of small, intentional choices. It’s the daily commitment to a process that isn't always visible, even when you’re right in the middle of it.
And the thing is - momentum is built in those quiet moments. It's found through the simple habit of showing up and refusing to stop. It's also knowing that when the path gets difficult, the most reliable resource is the navigator who can guide you - because they’ve already been down the same road.
Watching a friend hit their stride after putting in a lot of hard work is the ultimate reminder: the most certain way to get anywhere is to keep moving forward.
