.wake .up
Is it time to wake up to what makes me come alive?
Is it possible to balance doing that with all the other daily responsibilities i must deal with?
Only one person can answer this. This means no one can override my answer.
“But what if I’m wrong?”, i say to yourself.
What if i’m not?
.wake .up
Go.

Blindsided by midlife?
One of Mid Life Celebration’s biggest advocates shared a copy of the book with a small business owner. The business owner is a very busy person (like the rest of us).
His comment was (paraphrased here): “The author doesn’t live in the real world.”

There aren’t many experts.
But there are some.
Experts become experts because they have fought to win a rare, and regular, intimacy with something thought to be a myth.
The reason people can’t achieve balance?
It’s because their definition is wrong.
How do i know?
Three decades at Disney, searching for a balance role model, none were found.
And 15 years ago on the verge of becoming a father, i decided to begin the slow and steady process of becoming the change i wished to see.
Balance isn’t just about work and home life.
Balance also isn’t simply about mind, body, spirit.
Balance is about all five.
And balance isn’t about time.
It’s about energy.

It’s taken our entire lifetime to get to this day called today.
When we live intentionally, everything becomes our teacher.
Everything.
Paying attention can only happen when we slow down.
Slowing down is not socially promoted or even remotely possible in today’s world.
Is it?
Give up or slowly work on slowing down.
Shedding, purging, letting go, simplifying, pausing to sit – and listen to our own breath.

The frail, elderly man in the wheelchair who can barely walk…. is he strong or weak?
The middle-aged men or women racing from one life activity to another… are they strong or weak?
How do we know for certain in either case?
Decided to keep it very casual this visit.
Don’t want every meeting to be predictable. You know… thinker, deliberate, driven, determined, etc.
And don’t want every meeting to be driven by the same person.
