Waiting has a place

halloween decoration at home
Last night, waiting for trick-or-treaters.

Paradox is a great accountability tool.

dad

Waiting has a place.

For a sunset or sunrise.

For a harvest.

For a shade tree from an acorn.

Then there’s the paradox.

You know what i’m talking about.

The waiting instigated by doubt, fear, inexperience, etc.

All the reasons waiting and doing nothing are the twin siblings for self-defeat.

Note: There are nearly two additional years of service that are lost in the career storyline. Doesn’t matter. i used to think it did.

Regret’s truth

Apple Watch in a waiting room
i will never regret visiting my dermatologist. Began as an annual visit. Then biannually. And now, triannually.

Regret is inevitable but it doesn’t need to be a lifelong sidekick.

dad

Wisdom comes from experience.

Experience comes from making mistakes.

True wisdom is living with far fewer mistakes.

Is it possible you can eliminate or alleviate making mistakes?

If your goal isn’t impossible you’re not reaching high enough.

Insight: Keep making lifelong “mistakes”, but from small, creative ideas. Reach a point, and sustain it for your lifetime, where you never make a costly mistake.

Eleven, mind

Doggie stick library
No late fees.
Chimney Rock
Chimney Rock.

Incredible days are always available.

Career junkie, retiree, or someone in between.

Our years as a ‘retiree’ are a fraction of our work years.

But where there’s a will there’s a way.

We are having fun as rookie retirees.
