Midlife Certainty

“No great deed, private or public, has ever been undertaken in a bliss of certainty.”
– Leon Wieseltier

This is something that we all need to grasp. Our lofty, childhood dreams to do good and noble work may never be reborn in midlife, because Leon is right.

Kids rarely walk from one thing to another. Why did we stop running everywhere?

Ask Yourself

What would you pay to have “balance'” or overall wellness as some call it?

Be honest, your life is fairly out of control if you inventory your life and ask these questions:

Am I as healthy as I know I’d like to be?

Am I as focused on my relationships and helping others as I’d like to be?

Does my boss adore me? What about the people that work with me?

Is my attitude as open, creative, and positive as I’d like it to be?

Do I spend less than I earn?

If tomorrow never comes, will she know how much I loved her?

What Do You Want From Life?

Guess What This Acorn Wants To Be
Guess What This Acorn Wants To Be

What do you want from life?

Do you know?

Have you asked for it?

What are you waiting for?

You’ll probably race through your day, distracted (on purpose) so you don’t have to face yourself in the mirror.

Right?

What if you went for a walk, or chewed your food a little more slowly at lunch and contemplated what you’d like to do before you die.

56 More Days

Bummer, Eh?
Bummer, Eh?

Happy Monday everyone. Hope your weekend was good. There is much worry and trouble in the world.

Let us do today what we can to make ourselves and those around us happy.

In 56 days, on October 17, these five different, daily blogs I write will reach a grand total 3,000 posts.

This five-a-day blogging began all because our son questioned why his 2nd grade teacher wanted him to read out loud 20 minutes each night.

And the five topics (blogs) were created so a Father could have a simple way to teach his son about life.
