Fear sucks

Apple iPhone 6s
No one is immune from fear. The game changers overcame fear.

 

Fear is a one-way, all expenses paid trip to an unfulfilled life.

How do i know?

How do any of us know.

We just know. It’s called life.

Fear permeates our being until one day, if we’re lucky (or until we stand up in protest) we demand a refund and buy a new ticket.

A ticket to rethink, reprioritize, and recommit.

If not now, when.

If not ever, why?

Merry Christmas 2015

Best Western Valparaiso sign
Tiniest rental car i’ve ever driven. It stayed parked the entire stay.

Decided to walk yesterday to meet Kurt.

 

Merry Christmas 2015.

Ordinary days can be anything but. Especially when we anticipate (and expect) them consistently.

Yesterday, September 15 as this is being written, was a milestone day for Mid Life Celebration.

Met Kurt, spoke with Kurt, and was reassured he is a right fit.

What an awesome Christmas present.

Marketing and sales are part of business. Thankful to have someone who can help with that.

By the way, i’d like to rename marketing and sales to awareness and engagement.

The one thing our motivation craves

Legalize marijuana in Florida?

What is it about having a compelling goal that excites us so?

Legalize marijuana in Florida, not just for medicinal purposes, but for recreational use?

When a goal is outrageous, impossible, or both, it stirs people’s souls – whether they are for or against.

How does this apply to our life being “stirred”?

Midlife denial is heaven on Earth

First day of school
Yesterday in the driveway before the first day of High School.

 

(This is the type of conversation i frequently constantly have with myself. And it’s this tough love that has helped me find the path less traveled.)

Midlife denial is heaven on Earth. We don’t have to think about the tough choices we should be making. This makes us feel better.

Coffee in the morning (and all day possibly). Alcohol in the evening.

Television, social media, food, work.

Medicated, entertained, and distracted.

Yeah, that ought to protect me us from making difficult decisions.

Denying something doesn’t make it go away.

Your midlife triangle

Busy intersection near Walt Disney World
Yesterday at 7:15am.

 

It’s a chronic situation.

At least it was for me.

When will we get our proverbial sh!t together?

Probably never.

Unless we embrace this deceptively simple framework.

Your midlife triangle is made up of three sides.

  1. rethink
  2. reprioritize
  3. recommit

It’s that simple and it’s that’s difficult.

As we rode bikes to school yesterday we crossed three major intersections near Walt Disney World. It was morning rush hour.

Told our son that most drivers are so distracted because they’re in a such a hurry that it’s the equivalent to being drunk.

The past two days have each netted me almost getting hit by a harried driver when we have had the right of way to cross the cross walk.
