The one thing so easy to completely forget after the honeymoon

The one thing so easy to completely forget after the honeymoon of excitement – you know, the honeymoon of initial, feels-great-to-be-recommitted energy around promises we made to course correct after decades of Baby Boomer wandering.

The whole part about changing.

Remember?

Changing… wanting to… promising to recommit… remember?

To tackle today in a balanced way, I love jumping from mind (this blog) to body (this blog).

 

Which pile of improvements do we focus on?

Be the change, in any kind of weather

 

Lets nudge ourselves our world ourselves to think about taking on more personal responsibility in solving the things we wish didn’t have to be solved.

Ever mindful. Ever vigilant. Ever hopeful. Always doing things to “be the change”. Never complaining about what others aren’t doing. Only focused on our own pile of improvements we can make.

Today’s quick thought about our physical health is a click away, here.

Tomorrow is the enemy.

Tomorrow is not the day to strive to be better than we were today.

Today is the day to strive to be better than yesterday.

Now we know.

Generally, when someone says this is a “must read’, what we you do? Rush to Amazon and order? Race to Barnes and Noble? There are so many amazing books, yet none of us has time to read half. What’s a Boomer to do?

Think about how many books sit unread in our home. They look pretty, and make us look smart. Yet nothing transformational happens.

Midlife wisdom comes not from understanding this, but from taking action. And the individual action we take is as diverse as snowflakes.

They say everything has a price, so here’s what it really costs…

The price of anything is the amount of life we exchange for it.
