Why choosing is so critical to our midlife happiness…

It may not seem so, but what we resist changing, we choose.

And even if we choose not to decide, we still have made a choice.

We know this, but it doesn’t matter what we know, only matters what we do.

Hold onto this notion as if our life depended on it?

Dear Readers, the only acceptable way to live our life is to do the best we can. Until the day we die.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.

We know this and it means something different, and special, to each person.

Live like you mean it becomes a daily habit when we practice it everyday.

There’s always a catch isn’t there? The daily part throws people.

Mid Life Celebration is a chip off of this old block – a man with a famous mouse.

Have intentionally avoided mentioning that on Mid Life Celebration’s posts that I work full time at one of the most admired companies in the world – and have for three decades.

Why remain silent?

Don’t really know why.

It surely isn’t a secret.

The Internet has ensured there are no secrets – about anything.

A man named Walt always felt the bar for excellence was never high enough, and nothing was impossible.

Insight: We should pay attention, there is always a lesson to be learned. And rarely are the lessons handed to us on a silver platter. And some lessons are game changers.
