How important is risk taking to you?

On a 1-10 scale where 10 is high, 1 is low…

How important is risk taking to you?

(pausing while you do your math)

Got your answer?

Ok…

Because you deserve it, i’m taking a public risk (for your benefit)…

Even with the obvious human temptation to dismiss this…

It will take two minutes.

Don’t have two minutes?

Good luck with the rest of the day.

If you’ll consider reading all five – one each for mind, body, spirit, work, and home – you’ll risk .thinking .differently

You can thank me later.

That last sentence was a risk too.

Live like you mean it.

PS. What prompted this was the spirited nature of today’s posts.

You’re not the only one

Even though we know this – you are not the only one thinking great thoughts and ideas – we tend to forget it and believe that our thoughts are unique and special to the Universe.

Nope.

But.

But you can be one of the rare few who ships your beliefs to the world. You take action. Bravo to you.

But.

The world may not love your art.

And therefore, shipping takes guts.

And.

Paradoxically, the world may embrace and relish your art.

And it may take a decade.

Or longer.

And.

One of your most useful instruments in creating your art is persistence – long after smarter people have quit.

Bravo to you.

A primitive weapon to fight midlife crisis

Mid Life Celebration book
Wisdom come from experience. Experience comes from making mistakes.

 

The best and easiest way to combat a midlife crisis is to:

Reduce our expectations to zero.

Natural reaction to this is, “Are you crazy, there’s no way.”

Remember this truth:

We see what we want to see.

When we expect nothing, everything becomes a gift.

Gratitude reigns down.

We don’t believe we are worthy of this wonderful overload of goodness.

But, my dear friends, we are.

You are.

Whether you believe it or not.

A midlife celebration.
