Our frame of reference (perspective) is what transforms us from survivors to thrivers.
Life is hard.
For everyone.

We’ve been misled to believe balance is two – work life and home life. Two is a nice low number, but inadequate in addressing the larger whole.
There are actually five components to balance.
How did we go through life and not know?
mind • body • spirit • money • hq
Now we know.
And we know that knowing is not enough.

Reflecting on the uneventful phenomenon when one person reaches an incredible (and popular fantasy) milestone that nearly everyone dreams of doing.
What holds us back from celebrating and participating with the celebrant?
The silence emanating from us is deafening to the triumphant risk taker.
So if we don’t celebrate for someone else, odds are that no one else should ever feel the need or desire to reciprocate.
This is, in reality, simply another obstacle in our quest to do something great.

I’m very open about the fact that I have an anxiety disorder. I manage it very well for the most part. What I’ve noticed is that most people, even those who don’t have an actual disorder, tend to worry about things over which they have no control. I suppose it’s human nature. Just this week, I listened to three friends who talked about a huge worry they had. While all three situations were very serious, all of them turned out just fine. It’s difficult NOT to worry, sometimes. But perhaps we should all keep in mind this favorite quote in those times of worry:
My life has been full of misfortunes, most of which have never happened. – Michel de Montaigne

Complain.
Or not.
Be grateful we are alive to have such challenges.
And be grateful our challenges aren’t much, much worse or more complicated.
Attitude.
Pretty sure it is everything.
