Catching the lid and making morning choices

In about an hour, 

I woke up about 4:40 this morning and I was wondering why I overslept. I had set my alarm to go off like 45 minutes and I was trying to take a short nap. I wake up and I'm thinking I slept through my alarm or maybe something was wrong with my alarm. I look and see that my alarm was working fine; there was a notification that the volume was down low and I had missed my alarm. 

No big deal. Brush my teeth, wash my face, and checked a couple of emails. Cleared out a couple of emails, saw an email of a product that I personally do not want.

 I personally do not want it; it's a yearly fee but it's a good product. It is a marketing product that can increase your return on investment, that can do a bunch of different things, and that is a good product to be able to recommend as a consultant.

It was an email from yesterday and the product pricing, the discount pricing, expires today. So after I get through making my recordings and whatever, I'm gonna end up buying the product and playing around with it throughout this 2025. Then when 2026 comes, I'll decide whether I want to renew it at the discount rate or discounted rate. 

I like the vendor, so because I like the vendor, I've been watching the product launch for almost a week and I think I'm going to get it simply for the fact that most business owners that I come across, I already know they're not gonna know about this product. I already know it, so it just increases the value that I can bring later on in my membership site.

One of the reasons why I'm going to get the product is I do teach the philosophy of "you are not your customer." 

You are not your customer. 

And we're supposed to sell our customers what they will want. Well, I don't want the product even though I know it will work. I don't want it. How can I teach "you are not your customers" if I sit back and don't provide this product to my customers simply because I don't want it? 

So I have to be congruent with my belief factors; thus, I'm gonna buy the product.

So I looked at the email, did that, went down into the laundry room, and I have another family member in town that I picked up the other day and their clothes, they're visiting, their clothes are in the laundry room. So I threw their clothes in the washer and my goal for coming down was to go to my carstudio and make a recording. Not the recording that I'm making right now; this wasn't my goal, but my goal was to make a recording, my general morning recordings.

So I come down and get my tripod out of the vehicle, I throw their clothes in the washer, then I hear lots of birds outside. 

So I'm trying to make my coffee, which was my goal was, and I go in the backyard and I do a two-minute video of the birds because there's a forest back there or a forest close by. So I do a two-minute video about that, see a couple other items on the counter of my family's house, and I go over to the coffee maker and see that the water is low.

So I look over at the clean dish bin; my favorite cup that I use to fill the coffee maker is in the drying rack. In addition, there are some pots and pans stacked in the drying rack. So I grab my favorite coffee cup, I take about three steps over to the refrigerator, excuse me, my favorite water cup. I take about three or four steps over to the refrigerator to fill up the water in the cup to fill up the coffee maker. 

As soon as I put the cup to the refrigerator, I hear something fall from the clean dishes. 

I turn to my left and I see this big glass pot cover fall or falling. I can't tell; it could have been in slow motion, I don't know, off the clean dishes rack and it hits the counter right in front of the sink. And all I can see in my head is that lid falling to the ground, hitting the tile, and the lid breaking. Now as I'm doing this audio recording, I'm thinking that lid may have broken the tile. 

I don't know, but I immediately let go of the cup, dash over—because you can see me dashing—dash over and get the lid as it hits the counter in front of the sink. 

So I caught it before it went to the ground. As soon as I grabbed the lid, then I hear the cup, the plastic cup, hit the ground and I look to my right and there's a cup on the ground, but I saved the lid.

What goes through my mind as I do that and I put the lid away what goes through my mind is that I reacted back in my old football days. You just react, and I reacted by what needed to be done. I didn't give it deep thought; 

I saw and reacted and did. I saw, I reacted, I did. 

Matter of fact, I heard, I saw, I reacted, I did. Not all kinds of deep thought into it; just did what had to be done. Then after what had to be done had been done, then I got a chance to breathe and think and analyze and all the rest of that stuff.  But I just did.

And like right now in this audio recording, the focus was not on "here, see, react, and do."

 That wasn't my focus; my focus of this audio was just a little "here's what happened this morning, blah blah blah," and I was gonna go through everything I did in the first hour. But now that I said out loud "here, see, react, do," I'm not gonna take this audio where I'd anticipated taking it.

 I'm just gonna do that "see, here, react, do," Because that's kind of what my morning has been like. I've been seeing things, I've been hearing things, I've been reacting to things, and I've been doing things—

doing the video in the backyard. I heard it, I went outside, I saw, I reacted to it, and I made a video. That's it.

I like that philosophy. I like that term. I will probably go and do an artificial intelligence image for that and make a posting later on.

May turn it into a quote, I don't know, but I'll deal with it from there. 

Here, see, react, do. That works. 

Rico here, ...Later.
