Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Trust, confidence, desire
Writing each morning, can fill a soul with hope and purpose. It’s a primal yearning – to be needed, to make a contribution, to serve.
Even if we say we do not need this, we do.
We should fight to fulfill it. The ripple effect is pollen to our lives.

“I do believe it is possible to create, even without ever writing a word or painting a picture, by simply molding one’s inner life. And that too is a deed.” – Etty Hillesum
What we watch on TV, what we read, what we say and how we say it, our friends, the places we visit…
It’s all a choice. You know this. Ready?

They say things happen in threes. Self-fulfilling prophesy probably. All but two of nine cab rides last week netted great mental stimulation. Two rides were less than one mile. We barely got started and the ride was over.
But the last ride (35 min) was with Joe, from Togo (Africa). Joe is the Father of 17, 13 and 9 year old children. He worked in banking before the economy tanked. Charlotte is second (behind New York City) in US finance industry.
Without me asking, he cleared the front seat and invited me up front. Joe is finishing school to become a CPA.
Life gives you in direct proportion what you ask from it. Even if you’re just another cab driver.

The most basic of life’s questions, “Do you have a choice?”
We all have dreams, as grand as ending hunger, or getting a GED.
Or as simple as paying off our mortgage, retiring and watching our grandchildren grow up.
To make these grand or simple dreams come true, we must fight the good fight.
Every day.
And every day we are faced with the choice.
Keep going, or quit.
Never get bored with the basics, even in midlife.

The key to midlife happiness is to lower your expectations.
Yeah, that ought to do it.
Heard this recently and had to wonder, who is saying this?
Lower your expectations?
Are you kidding me?
