Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Be brutally honest with this person at all costs?
First and foremost, ourselves.
Yes, at all costs.
Take no prisoners.
Be careful with everyone else though.
It can have the reverse effect.
Pain. Intimidation. Self-righteousness. Narcissist. Zealot.
Let the fear of being condemned and labeled be the cross you bear.
Eventually, you’ll come to realize what they think is pointless.

There are amazingly inspiring people throughout history, but something is missing, even in a wonderfully captivating quote like this:
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. –Amelia Earhart
What’s missing?
Action.
Quotes from famous people are like a shot of whiskey.
Something gutsy and raw in the consuming.
The wonderful afterglow is pretty amazing.
The letdown from not being able to maintain and sustain that wonderful feeling is why we keep consuming quotes, yet few of us ever launch our lives in the direction of our wildest dreams.
Things begin to change when we begin to change.
Common sense, but not common. (quotable?)

Crazy, nut-job misfits… wish there were more of them in our life?
The 2014 Winter Olympic video below is worth an encore. Only two minutes.
We get so busy on the treadmill of life. We poison our souls so slowly we never notice.
(it’s almost sickening to watch dreams waste away)
So here’s the question worth asking.
Are we satisfied with our trajectory?
Whatever it is that we dreamt about, does it still give us a tinge of excitement?
Or have we kissed it goodbye forever?
Either way, those really important younger people in our lives are watching us (non-Olympians that we are).
And we are telling them in advance how ‘The Herd’s’ story ends.
It always ends the same way…. “No, I had always wanted to, and really wished I had done _______. But I didn’t.”
But those crazy, lunatic misfits – the freaks who bucked tradition… they’re the ones we wished we had followed.
Take it from one who knows. There’s still hope for us.
A year from now we’ll wish we had started today.
This is stuff that cannot be made up.
It’s simply the cold hard, amazing truth.
Be well and remain amazed.
Pretty sure you know how to access the video…

When are we gonna finally live full on?
No more holding back on what we really want to do?
When?
Knowing we are going to die is the best incentive to start living full on – authentically.
Yes, some people will not like us for it.
And others will be cheering for us – and smiling – (and thinking, so glad she finally let go of her fear).

People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering. -St. Augustine
Knowing others is a decent indicator of emotional health yet knowing ourselves is the definitive sign of wisdom.
