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.

Christmas in September?

Christmas Decorations trigger us to spend

If there was no gift giving, what would Christmas mean to each of us?

And for how long?

Christmas in September? Society, through media and big budget marketing, has spent decades hyping up the Christmas gift giving tradition. Look at black Friday and cyber Monday after Thanksgiving. All intended to get us to spend a lot of money.

Yesterday and the day before I spent time, all of four waking hours total.

Time is money, and I spent as much as possible.

Four hours over two days doesn’t seem like much.

Compared to possibly never seeing them again, four hours was a jackpot.

Love to see enthusiasm - everywhere. Even where we wouldn't expect.

Love to see enthusiasm – everywhere. Even where we wouldn’t expect.

 

Special note to self (and maybe the most important one ever):

Rehearsal is over. No more practice.

Start living.

The only thing more contagious than enthusiasm is the lack of it.

Feed yourself first.

Be the fire!

Dear Boomers, when we aren’t living each day like we mean it, we’re doing this

profound career advice scratched on a notepad
Career advice from a President in charge of 60k+, with 40+ years experience

 

Dear Boomers, when we aren’t living each day like we mean it, we’re doing this:

Waiting to die

It’s a harsh reality.

Think of it this way if you need a second opinion:

She who’s not busy being born, is busy dying.

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Live like you mean it.

You’ll feel better. About everything. Not all at once.

But slowly and steadily.

Go.

Today, or tomorrow.

PS. And trust your gut (see photo).
