What is the coolest thing we can do to be true to ourselves?

What is the coolest thing we can do to be true to ourselves?

An uncommon question and unlikely we have a ready answer. But what if we did?

Why are so few of us are able to pull ourselves out of our deeply worn ruts. Ruts that began long ago as ‘finding our groove’.

Do only the luckiest of mid-lifers have role models who encourage them?

Do only the luckiest have role models who have blazed a trail as a decent example?

The rest of us, well, do we still have time to become a trail blazer?

Do we even think it’s worth it at this stage in life?

The anniversary of the most magnificent day in our life

 

How did we spend yesterday?

How often do we take inventory of the day before?

Yesterday, the 55th anniversary of that first breath… spent the day doing the normal things.

Simple things.

Routine things.

Joy-filled things.

Life-giving things.

Since (becoming a dad in) 2000 (age 41), just cannot fathom the idea of having to wait for a holiday, anniversary, milestone, etc to celebrate a single day.

Among other things, finished watching the two-hour Apple 2014 WWDC video.

The first three minutes are not available yet on You Tube, hence the 2013 version above.

Live like you mean it.

Today.

Or we could wait until tomorrow.

Your move.

Dare not dare mentally

Mike's Chair and Casting Crown CDs
See it there? Today’s message. Everyday’s message – all or nothing.

 

Dare not dare mentally.

Think of things that inspire you.

Good and decent things.

Things you hope for.

Things you long for.

And hope to not long for them anymore.

Go.

Be amazing today.

Only one person can fight our demons of doubt, fear, and inaction.

Two things similar to crack cocaine that we use daily

Mid Life Celebration Visa cards
Never used these cards – launched in 2009 with another bank that loves MLC way more

 

Doubt is so easy to summon.

Same with fear.

It’s like crack cocaine isn’t it?

Ridiculously addicting.

And the withdrawal symptoms from doubt and fear are excruciatingly painful.

So we stick with doubt and fear. They comfort us.

But when we lead with action and decisiveness, we move forward.

Go, no matter how slow!

The time will pass anyway.
