Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.

Comfort Or Fuel For Our Mind?

Sugar is one of two things: colorful and fun, or, invisibly inserted as one of our food’s top ingredients (high fructose corn syrup).

 

This was initially a tough subject to write about. Glad i had the courage to address my issue.

Comfort or fuel for our mind?

Last night our son and i were talking about eliminating sugar from my life.

i said Americans grow up on sugar, making a lifetime habit challenging to kick.

And why shouldn’t we consume sugar, everyone else is doing it, so it can’t be all that bad.

Right?

If we saw sugar as fuel, and if it was great fuel, then consuming it makes sense.

But it’s not great fuel.

It’s a drug.

Sugar is the new smoking.

Everyone turns their head to the addiction and serious health consequences.

Shifting gears here…

Do you see your thoughts as fuel or as comfort?

Positive thoughts are fuel.

Pessimistic thoughts are addictive drugs – to comfort us when we believe life isn’t fair.

The privilege of a lifetime

Deleting computer files
Decide and let go of anything not serving you. This requires self-reflection, vision, and courage.

 

The privilege of a lifetime is to live as yourself.

Our attitude determines our path.

Our path directs our journey.

Our journey is our final exam.

What does mental change sound like?

Mid Life Celebration blog
This grey header represented the grey matter of our brain (mind). i changed my mind about the look on December 7. Changed the header this morning, December 9, 2016.

 

Seth Godin's Titan book
This 17-pound “Titan” of a book ($170 sale price) arrived last night.

 

What does it sound like when you change your mind?

What is mental change?

Is it useful?

Is it worth defending?

Can it last?

Just ask Seth Godin.

Or me.

Seth’s Titan arrived last night.

The real name is:

What Does It Sound Like When You Change Your Mind?

It’s a (huge) collection of Seth’s blog posts.

Changing our mental attitude to be 100% positive and helpful sounds like…

Peace and contentment.

It also sounds like finally being certain.

i’m finally certain all 5 Mid Life Celebration blogs serve one purpose – a trail, a manifesto, a long love letter – to my son and wife.
