Category: Everything Is Important

All the different ways of saying it come down to a simple concept

Procrastination is a habit

 

When a famous person says something, we notice. A relative unknown, we deeply discount. For example, this brilliant wisdom:

Carried away by our worries, we’re unable to live fully and happily in the present. Deep down, we believe we can’t really be happy just yet – that we still have more boxes to check off before we can really enjoy life – Thich Naht Hanh

All the different ways of saying it come down to a simple concept:

Live, before you die.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. Live like you mean it!

What one was afraid to say, the other felt it was the highest compliment

The contrast is striking, and we love it.

 

What one was afraid to say, the other felt it was the highest compliment.

One friend told the other, “Don’t take this the wrong way, but sometimes you think too much”.

The recipient friend replied, “Thank you. I see it as a gift that no one else we know brings”.

Aren’t we set free when we acknowledge and accept what makes us different special?

As we journey from midlife to old age, one of the biggest regrets we observe in those ahead of us is their regret for not taking better care of their physical health. We know this to be true.

Does Lane 8 not feel nearly as important as Mid Life Celebration? I ask this because there’s a decent drop off on Google Analytics from here to there.

Our body is a temple that holds in place all that keeps us alive – is it not staggering to think there are those among us who wouldn’t have time for upkeep?

Everyday, think, move, feel, work, nest

Life’s (5) big choices: mind, body, spirit, money, hq

 

Personal responsibility is being able to choose our response…

Everyday (think) positive: our thoughts, words, deeds, friends, what we watch, read, focus on.

Everyday (move) healthy: regular exercise, balanced diet, adequate rest.

Everyday (feel)  gratitude: all day, pray without ceasing and in our giving we receive.

Everyday (work) contribute: we study, hone, practice, execute, read, teach, write, review, correct, learn, launch, revise, repeat, ship.

Everyday (nest) organized: mindfully organize the placement, use, storage, and disposal of our stuff.
