Do we have an immediate and convincing answer to this question?

Are you still chasing your dreams?

Do we have an immediate and convincing answer to this question?

Why are we here?

There are varying degrees of belief, focus, commitment, and creative effort.

This year’s class (photo above) is 60% smaller than last year’s.

A once in a lifetime opportunity?

The photo is day two of the 2013-14 school year.

The book I promised to write 34 years ago for my children is much closer to reality.

First day of school 2013
What’s the number one goal of education?

 

Something really big is on the horizon and it is fueled by love, generosity, and gratefulness.

We often ask for a map to guide our way.

But what good does the map do?

We are not even sure where we are going.

Mid Life Celebration has prepared a life compass.

Because where we are heading is more important than how we travel.

What this means is our balance equation has five components

Balance, and this photo, are challenging to explain

 

What is balance?

Is it belief that joy at work and home is equal?

Is it belief that time spent at work and home should feel equal?

Joy isn’t the currency we trade.

Neither is the time spent in either location important.

Our currency is actually energy – energy spent thriving in mental, emotional, and physical health.

We do this at two locations – home and work.

What this means is our balance equation has five components.

Not two or three (it’s actually the sum of both).

Mind – Body – Spirit

Work – Home

Five total elements for balance.

More later.

There is midlife magic in not being afraid to be ordinary

Me? Famous authenticity, but not even remotely famous for writing/organizing a book

 

There is midlife magic in not being afraid to be ordinary. Like this…

Two people besides myself have read Mid Life Celebration, the book.

Neither raved.

Polite comments, but no wow.

This is quite the opposite when I read it.

It completely inspires me.

Completely.

It’s two against one.

Should I give up?
