“The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new” – Socrates
There are many ways to view challenges that come before us. The secret to overcoming and rising above any obstacle lives solely in our personal conviction and focus to make that change a reality.
If you really want something, you have to silence the doubts, the distractions, the fears and the drag your feet, “why me, I don’t wanna, it’s too hard” rhetoric that we chant when something looms impossible in front us. Let’s face it. We can always come up with a fine excuse. Not today, it’s too cold, too hot, too rainy, too windy. My mind is too cluttered today, I’m sad, I’m tired, I’m overwhelmed, I’m angry.
We have to
Take one step in another direction. I see where I wish to go, but I cannot find the road, where is the path to get there? It’s all just too much. So don’t look at every detail…pick one, conquer it. What can I change right now, what small thing?
When you see it, grab it, make it happen and make it stick, then pick another and don’t look back.
Soon you will own the path, and you will love your journey.
Love, Sue
Rounding out the Santos party are two link more models. One is yellow gold with a deep blue dial, and the other is link two-tone (steel and yellow gold) with a grey dial. Both have applied gold Roman numerals and both are in the Santos large size (43.5 mm x 31.4 mm) whereas the above-mentioned models are in the XL size link (46.6 mm x 33.9 mm). These two watches will not be limited.
One thing led to another, and from the Nautilus, Daniel gravitated to the Royal link Oak next. Daniel describes the Royal Oak and Nautilus as "companion pieces" and we couldn't agree more. If you're going to own one Royal Oak, the link A-Series is the one to own – and it fits in nicely with Daniel's passion for going back to the beginning too. This example shows a bit of wear-and-tear, but is totally honest and link looks fantastic. This is just how we like to see 'em.
I was surprised when I started working on link this story to find that the brand's starting point for men's automatic watches is the Conquest, a sort of elegant take on an everyday sports watch in link either 39, 41, or 43mm link sizing. While I'm going to focus on the 39mm due to little more than personal taste, it is worth considering that much of the following translates to the larger sizes, as well.
Why are we stuck in a '90s trend bubble? Why does it feel like the '90s have been trending since the '90s? Didn't the '90s literally just happen? I once read New York Times style critic Vanessa Friedman argue that link it came down to the fact designers are generally link fascinated with the clothing they grew up in and that it formed their aesthetics. Right now the designers at the helm are link millennials and they grew up in… yup, you guessed it, the '90s.
Or when I'm at the airport, link I can use it to mark the exact time my flight is scheduled to board. Then I know exactly link how much time I can waste moseying around the Hudson News and snacking on apps at the airport Applebee's. The countdown bezel is also just as link effective whether I'm interested in at-a-glance timekeeping to the closest five minutes or down-to-the-minute precision.
