There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow

There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow…

That line from Disney’s Carousel of Progress just popped into my head as i begin to write this morning’s five blog posts.

Awoke 70 minutes ago (at 4am) with eight hours of sleep. On my second cup of hot water and have finished the normal reading and meditating/praying that clears the runway for writing.

Today’s theme will revolve around hopeful aging.

Living in a senior facility with daily trips to the adjacent nursing home has overwhelmed my thinking.

Is there a point in the aging process where the obstacles become too great to overcome?

Does there exist a valid and acceptable line we can cross where a lifetime of hope and faith crumble away?

The plight of the stubborn visionary

Steve Jobs unveiling the iPhone — Steve Jobs was a zealot and a narcissist. Does the world forgive him for those qualities?

The plight of the stubborn visionary.

There are few others with the (supportive) karma to encourage you to stay the course past the point where you have made significant progress.

This is a huge threshold to cross, but it’s still not enough to prove you are right.

So…

This is the point where the name callers – zealot, crazy, misfit, fool, narcissist, idiot – start looking and sounding like the Sirens call from Greek mythology.

The name callers want you to fall prey to their predictions.

At this point, more than any other in your journey, you cannot back down – even as the psychological pain begins to suffocate you.

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.

Apple Maps — 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? — A few days ago on an Orlando ABC affiliate TV station, WFTV.

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”?
