When we change our perceptions, we change the chemistry of our body.

The only thing that’s missing from rewiring our perceptions is permission to do so.

Will be lucky to see anything but the airport and the hotel

 

The two things our youthful dreams never prepared us for:

  1. That life doesn’t cease being hard, even though we master many things
  2. The realization that wakeup calls are neither myth, nor avoidable

The best we can do moving forward is be realistic about what to expect.

Traveling around the world for a living, plan on seeing the airport and the hotel.

Anything else, no matter how many days you stay, is a bonus.

Dear readers, obsessed with death?

The lines get blurred between practical, necessary, and ignore

 

Obsessed with death?

Maybe we should be.

Not like it’s not gonna happen.

You know what’s kinda funny?

Jokes are funny.

We’ve heard all types – simple, childish, adult, long, short, off-color, spiritual, etc.

The obscene joke is when it’s time to die, and we are totally unprepared.

No?

Good argument for obsessing over death.

The end result is obsessing over living like we mean it.

Right now. All day. Everyday.

It’s called the curse of knowledge.

Explained here: Tappers versus listeners.

Midlife crisis is finally arriving at the place in life we worked decades to get to, but in looking around we think to ourselves, “This isn’t what I wanted.”

There’s a book that describes the exact opposite mindset of a mind life crisis.

It’s called Mid Life Celebration.
