There is no app for that

There is no app for that. How to think and make the right choice. No app that is going to help you get out of a tough spot. Between a rock and a hard place you’ll find yourself if you think the solution is only $.99 away. There is no app that is going to give you a good work ethic & teach you not to be a jerk.
Yes downloading the latest free app will entertain you for a while but it will never replace the simple fact that you only you can figure out what to do next. Not an impulse but really what do you do next to improve someone else’s life and maybe even your own. Yes it’s great to be able to hit an app and get a card to show for you around. Get your food and groceries delivered. Apps work great course they do. But an App only exist because someone did the real physical hard work of thinking, planning, building, and selling it. The app exists because someone put in the work.

One step

~ Robin Estevez ~ Leave a comment
Peace and tranquility that’s all I want
Love and honor that’s all I have
Being pushed and pulled this way and that way
Sometimes don’t know where I’m going
But always seem to get there
A journey of 1000 miles begins with one step
One step
Which path you choose the size your fate
No roads signs or GPs to guide you
Just follow your heart
The best guide to your soul
It will lead the way to the majestic guru most never find
The path crooked treacherous and lonely
Only you can make this walk
To find yourself
A journey of a 1000 miles begins with one step

Where is he going?

Is he walking or running
Where is he headed
Or is he coming from somewhere
Is he leading or following
Looks like breaking a path
Who knows
Not even he knows
But he will get there
Because he is determined
To get to where he is going

Turbulence

~ Robin Estevez ~ 1 Comment
Too often we buckle our seatbelts to dreams
When there is little turbulence in our lives
Safe guarding against the possibility and change
Or of our drink spilling over onto our shoes
Because of a little turbulence
Knowing it will pass in just a few moments
Grasping for oxygen masks
Dangled just beyond our seat our reach
Then just as it came it is gone
We feel free to move about the cabin and continue with our lives

Compliments on brown boots

~ Robin Estevez ~ 1 Comment
I met you once at a party
Complimented you on your boots
Little did I know I was walking away from my future
As my steps took me further from you
I became closer to you
Your smile
I’ld remember and thought of what would’ve happened
If I wouldn’t have stepped aside from my dream
I remember your boots brown with the buckle
The way you moved
But I missed your scent in our brief exchange
The few words said were nice to meet you
Life moved on and I became closer to you
Through our brief encounter
By your smile the way you moved and your boots
I remembered
and I longed for another chance to meet you
Perhaps then I would know your scent and
the sound of your voice

The future isn’t here yet

~ Robin Estevez ~ Leave a comment
Frustration came into our life
Messing up plans changing our lives
How can it be?
Why me?
Got to flip fear on its head
To reveal whats ahead
Turning discontent into
“This is how I’m content!”
You get to work
Get on the grind
Brushing off obstacles
Like dirt off your shoulders
You soldier on
Only seeing the present
Because the future isn’t here yet
Marching pass the past ’cause
Its done with
Keep presence of mind
The rebirth is now

Mi Hermanita

Eres mi hermanita
Soy tercero detrás de ti
Pero caminamos junto
Tu, yo, Billy y John
Alado alado
Caminamos de mano como cuando Mami nos ayudadba a cruzar la avenida
Cuidándonos nos cuidaremos siempre
Como buen hermano te guardo en mi corazón igual a Billy y John
He pensado que yo pudieras regale que tu ya no tienes
Lo tenemos todo
Desidi darte una parte de mas de mi
Mis palabras para ti
Maggie eres bella en tu ser
Tu sonrisa sonriente encantadora y misteriosa
Te toco un poquito mas de personalidad que a mi y como te llevas con todo los demás
Repito eres bella en tu ser
Cariñosa tierna disponible al ayudar
Y con ánimo para brindarnos
Brindemos por ti

It doesn’t work

People quit way to early then blame that it can’t be done. Then they move onto another thing quit that because it can’t be done either. Finally they hire a coach consultant or other training program because they see others passing them by. But they don’t apply the insights they learn from their coach.  Because those things can’t work and my business, we’re different, blah blah blah blah blah. When all they need to do is shut up, listen, apply, get their hands dirty, test, rinse and repeat. Getting ahead takes effort and delibrate action from you. Stop making excuses and just do the work! image

Chipping away

If you set out to eat the elephant in one while bite your going to get a big ‘ol tummy ache. Because the only why to eat an elephant is bite by bite. Consistently sitting down at the table a methodically chewing away. Bite by bite.

Its the same way with wanting to build out a project or make a major change in your life you have to show up everyday and do the necessary work. Especially on those days that you would prefer staying in bed. When the tasks are at their worst, testing you and your mind encourages you to quit. Recognize what that little voice is telling you and respond back clearly decisively how much progress you’ve made. And begin to grind it out  get the work done.

Bite by bite even you can eat an elephant.
