Reminders come and go.

Some are simple and casual.

Some are devastating, tragic, sudden.

What we do with them to a large extent, determines our ability to live with peace and contentment.

Fear is attachment to things, people, and outcomes.

Waking up to this and living like we mean it helps us accept the uncontrollables in life.

This is key to being a thriver versus a survivor.

The two obvious obituaries we could write for ourselves

jeff noel's book Mid Life Celebration
Life by design or life by default… intentional or unintentional (very first Mid Life Celebration book)

 

Want to share this challenge with you. If we could write two obituaries, it would be these two:

  1. What it would read like if we made no changes in our life’s approach?
  2. What it would read like we actually did a bunch of the stuff we promised ourselves we would do?

And then after reading our two self-penned obituaries, which one makes us smile, feeling peaceful and contented?

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?

Say it with me, the clock is always ticking. So the Father in this photo montage was the New Orleans Saints’ player who blocked the punt that allowed them to when the Super Bowl.

Then he got ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).

Then he set out to capture all the wisdom he wants his baby boy to know.

That’s because odds are high he won’t be around as his boy grows up.
