Sunny with a chance of optimism

Cinderella Castle
Ran to Disney’s Magic Kingdom yesterday.

 

Sunny with a chance of optimism.

 

Wrote the first book in 2013.

While i am an optimist, it’s not a book about optimism.

A consistently busy schedule is all it takes

Motivational wellness keynote speakers
This blog is about our mind, our attitude.

 

A consistently busy schedule is all it takes for our temporary postponement to become a permanent postponement.

Our true priorities never get set in the proper order.

Having the right priorities, but in the wrong order is a ticking time bomb for regret. (Tweet that)

Health, Family time, dreams…

These take a back seat while we work on the urgent stuff.

The past two weeks have been more challenging than normal and i am struggling (more than the normal daily struggle) to get back in control of my in-box.

What is rocket fuel for enthusiasm?

The clock (middle right edge) is at 4:47am.

 

Life is very challenging, and i began yesterday morning very early in order to feel well prepared.

Being well prepared makes room for wonderful anticipation and excitement.

This is rocket fuel for enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm is contagious.

How do we live a lifetime with meaningful purpose?

When will we know when it’s time to let go? Specifically, for every human being, is there ever a time in life when we can let go of the life-sustaining power of a having meaningful purpose in our life?

Spending the last five days of 2015 living in a senior housing facility with an almost 93-year old with daily visits to the adjoining nursing home to visit an almost 90-year old.

They have nearly 40 years more experience than me. They know things i may never know.

How can i tap into this in a positive way?

What if my questions cause them to think about regret rather than joy?

This is what i would do if i was dying

One of the reasons our hard drive (brain) gets corrupted and slows down our operating system (mental attitude), is the harsh reality that our lives are incredibly busy.

In an effort to defragment my hard drive i spend 30 minutes each afternoon sitting on a bench. About 30 minutes later, at 4:30pm, there’s a High School freshman looking for a ride home.

In the quiet and stillness of doing nothing but waiting, i think to myself, “This is what i would do if i was dying.”
