Today, I had the day to myself. With minimal interruptions, I was able to get a lot of things done that I have been planning on completing for some time now.  Mainly a blog post that I have working on for a few months now.  I started it right before I got my equipment to begin recording for the Garden of The Mind.  Which ultimately distracted me from finishing it.  However, I able happy for that type of distraction and I believe it turned out better than it would have had I finished it in January when I had planned on completing it.  The blog post can be found on my website Solykos dot com on the page titled Sprouts.  I called them my sprouts because, once I get a good flow going, I will use them to help grow the Garden of The Mind.  Then I finish the holiday by working in my garden outback and record myself reading the story portion of the blog post I finish writing this morning.  All in all, I would say it was a productive day for the Garden of The Mind inside Solykos Studios.

This past Saturday I had a good friend of mine, come over for a nice meal and some whiskey.  We decided to setup the Garden of the Mind Lounge for the first time and hit record.  I mainly just wanted to test my audio set-up.  However, I knew me and Bird would have a great conversation, because we always do.  Just two like minded wolves on a journey through the woods we call life. It was a good test; I can already see how I can improve some things for when we get to have these Conversations to Cultivate a Growth Mindset.

This week the Log is more about me, and what I have going on in my life.  In order to bring the best Self I can to this project I must focus my energy elsewhere at the moment.  Which turned this into kind of a rambling Log this week.  Hope you enjoy.

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” -Calvin Coolidge

Today I jump in and explain how it has come time to let The Garden be. It will grow a long as fast or slow as it needs too.  I can take a detour and concentrate on other aspects of my life that with allow me to focus my skills more on The Garden when the time comes to tend it more thoroughly again. Also, I gain some inspiration from an up and coming Hip Hop artist who goes by the name Chris Webby.  I will get to see him and some other amazing artist perform live tonight which always gets me new life.

“Authenticity is everything! You have to wake up every day and look in the mirror, and you want to be proud of the person who's looking back at you. And you can only do that if you're being honest with yourself and being a person of high character. You have an opportunity every single day to write that story of your life." Aaron Rodgers

Today you get two episodes, as I had run into a few technical difficulties while attempting to create and episode while on vacation last weekend.  Then it became more about my perfectionism and not wanting to release aLog with poor audio quality.  So, I cleaned things up this weekend while making this episode.  Which is more of aLog from the past two weeks, and me just trying to get back into the swing of things. This week I talk a little about Solykos and what the Mountain logo I created for it means. The time I spent this past weekend with my family was very inspiring and you can hear that come across in this episode. 

Stay tuned as the soil has accepted these new roots and will soon unlock it’s secrets…

The Log this week gets serious as I get deeper into the planning phase of “The Big Show” I take some time and make myself known in the podcast communities on Facebook, while asking important questions to enhance our Wolf Pack.  I have uncovered some valuable tools to stay organized and help the team to know what needs to be worked on.  These will be the keys to productivity that I have been looking for.  Now that I have found the keys to a new part of the Garden it is time to start cultivating a new chapter. I have a feeling this new chapter will require that we face some our fears and go beyond the limits they have so rudely set for us without our consent.  It is time to stroll through The Shadow Garden and find out who is here to stay and separate them from the ones who just came to play…

“Let all your efforts be directed to something, let it keep that end in view. It’s not activity that disturbs people, but false conceptions of things that drive them mad.” — Seneca

This week has been about getting focused and planning out how we want this Podcast to grow now that we have our seeds planted.  We need to get top of mind how we plan to utilize the bounty that we will obtain when it comes time for harvest.  Not to mention the harvest itself. Doing all this while staying present and not loosing sight of where we are currently at in the Garden.

Stay tuned as now the seeds have been germinated, and the sprouts are starting to take root…
