"The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities." --Stephen Covey

I caught this guy at Canyon Lake yesterday doing something every small business owner will recognize.

Multi-tasking.

He's eating, scratching his neck, and because he's a deer, somewhere underneath all that he's still paying attention to what's happening around him.

Running a small business is exactly like this.

Maybe the real skill isn't learning how to do everything at once. It's learning what deserves your attention right now while never completely losing awareness of everything else.

"In solitude, the mind gains strength." --Laurence Sterne

This is actually a screenshot from the final video I produced recently for a property in Stonewall.

In this image, the only thing moving is the bird. The water is so still...the dock is empty. The clouds are barely noticeable.

The glassy reflection of the water mirrors the action perfectly, but the bird never seems to notice. It flies with purpose in complete solitude.

That's when it occurred to me. Solitude isn't the absence of life...it's the absence of distraction.

And that is when purpose becomes as clear as the water's reflection.

"The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength." --Marcus Aurelius

Recently I have not been posting daily because I have had a drone project to work on with a deadline. Now that it is complete, I wanted to share this pic from the project itself.

This is a sunrise over a private lake on the property. I remember distinctly the feeling I got while I flew over the water. In a word...

Calm.

I chose this quote from Marcus Aurelius, my favorite Stoic philosopher, because Aurelius doesn't glorify calm because it "feels good." He glorifies it because it is a form of strength.

Think of it this way...you have heard of "the calm before the storm," right? Well, I submit to you there is a calm before and after a storm.

But here's the thing...

There has to be a storm.

To truly appreciate the calm, you must also experience the storm. And to one degree or another, we've all experienced a storm which, over time, sharpens our ability to sense the calm.

Eventually, you can be the eye of a hurricane...calm despite chaos surrounding you.

THAT is strength.

*** 56 ACRES IN STONEWALL ***

What an amazing opportunity to capture this gorgeous property! Huge shout out to Autumn Sheffield with MAG Real Estate. She gave me total creative control and was amazing to work with. Her husband, Bobby "The Body" is such a cool dude and helped me tremendously and I couldn't be more grateful!

Realtors...you MUST take the time to check out this listing. It's one of a kind!

Sidenote: This video features my first ever timelapse of the sunrise over the property. It turned out really well and I am looking forward to incorporating more of these in the future! Check it out!

And as always, if you have a property that needs my special abilities...just send me a message. I'm happy to help take your listing to the next level!

"Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it." --Mahatma Gandhi

Peace isn't always something we "find" but, sometimes, we're meant to simply notice.

Maybe that's why we say we should "stop and smell the roses."

Perhaps because occasionally we just need the reminder.

Sidenote: I really like this picture of a very young Indian (the country) Nilgai set against the Texas Hill Country filled with Indian (Native American) Blanketflowers. Two very different histories sharing the same Texas landscape.

"Getting what you want is only a problem if you have nowhere to go next." --Rudy Ruettiger

When I first read that quote, I didn't think it was talking about success.

I think it's talking about PROGRESS.

Tony Robbins often says that fulfillment doesn't come from reaching the destination...it comes from the feeling that we're moving forward. That's why some of the wealthiest and most accomplished people in the world can still feel empty. Achievement alone isn't enough if growth has stopped.

Something happens along the way to finding that fulfillment through growth...

Character.

This young wildebeest reminded me of that.

Every day it grows a little stronger. A little more capable. A little more independent.

There's no finish line waiting for it tomorrow. There is only the next step in becoming what it was created to be.

I believe that's true for us, too.

It all boils down to this...

The pursuit of character has no finish line.

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." --Aristotle

There's something admirable about quiet confidence.

He knows I'm there. He knows I'm watching. But he seems entirely unimpressed.

I got the distinct feeling he was thinking, "Take all the photos you want. Just remember, these horns aren't decorative."

Copy that.

Sidenote: The Bongo Antelope is one of the largest forest antelopes in Africa. Those gorgeous white stripes help break up its outline in dense foliage.

"Some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue." --This Ostrich

I asked him if he had any photography tips. 🤷‍♂️

Seriously though, doesn't he look like he just woke up from a colonoscopy and is questioning every decision he's ever made?

Sidenote: Best caption wins something...I'll come up with it later...let's hear 'em!

"The family is one of nature's masterpieces." --George Santayana

While watching these lechwe antelope, it struck me how they stayed close to one another. Some rested while others stayed alert. Perhaps this is simply part of their genetic coding, but it's still one of nature's greatest creations.

It's nature's way of reminding us that the strongest families don't require everyone to be doing the same thing at the same time. They simply require everyone to know they're not facing life alone.

Whether by blood or marriage, or even circumstance, in the end, home isn't always a place.

Sometimes it's the people standing beside you.
