The bridge between where you want to be and where you are now is

This is sorta like a math challenge, but different.

The bridge between where we want to be and where we are now is what we are doing today, this week and next.

It revolves around second chances.

But, there are hurdles…. excuses, regrets.

And sunshine… hope, opportunity.

And a catch (theres always a catch isn’t there?)… permission.

And sometimes, if we’re lucky, a bonus…. a wake up call.

And the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow… balance.

It’s a bridge not many of us pursue… second chances.

Wisdom is when we no longer wait for permission because we are now (finally) crystal clear who grants it.

Moving on and finding less and less to be embarrassed about.

Moving on and finding less and less to be embarrassed about.

 

Annual physical at Dr Joel Weinberger’s two mornings ago. Enter the hospital gown. Dr J left the room. Got naked as requested and before putting on the gown, it hit me. If someone walked in accidentally, who cares?

When you feel good, have seen pretty much everything, and are comfortable in your own skin, what is there to hide or be embarrassed about?

It was a moment. A bona fide, I-am-growing-tired-of-feeling-afraid-so-who-gives-a-rat’s-behind-if-anyone-sees anything.

Seriously, it would only be a matter of minutes before a latex-gloved, lubed up finger checked for prostate abnormalities.

It was a cool moment to reflect on right now.

Not the probe, the gown and nakedness epiphany.

Straight talk should be welcomed or diverted?

Life is a terminal condition. We are all going to die.

And only one person knows your answer to the upcoming question…

Five plus years ago in the Mid Life Celebration brainstorming process and visioning process, a few sound bites struck like lightning.

Live, before you die.

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Live like you mean it.

So yeah, we are all going to die.

But are we all going to live before it’s over?

Only one person knows your answer.

And only one person is in charge of this answer.

A life of reaction is a form of personal slavery

A life of reaction is a form of personal slavery.

Wake up calls have their original in the things we are not proactive with.

We can not stop bad things from happening, yet we can prune and nurture our attitude so that by midlife, we are self-aware in ways others have difficulty comprehending, yet ways everyone is entitled to and empowered to enjoy.

And we are equipped and inspired to be proactive with our mind, body, and spirit, as well as with our career and our dwelling space.

Thinking deeply about this, wouldn’t it be great if there was a short, concise, inspiring, direct, and generous book to use as a guide?
