This life you have, the one being led by the person in your mirror, has a little secret.
It’s not a dress rehearsal.

How Can A Person…
How does a person see what they can’t see?
Sounds confusing.
But it’s really not.
Our challenge is to not deny we have any unproductive blind spots, but to seek and destroy them.
It takes a very strong, determined and humble person to succeed.

“If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.” – Lao Tzu
Look, I know you’re insanely busy, which is exactly why a very smart person will reread Lao Tzu’s thought several more times.
Avoiding purposeful, reflective thinking is like avoiding regular exercise and wise diet choices.
What Makes You Feel Old?
Mid Life – like birth, childhood, adolescence, leaving home, getting married, having kids, empty nest, retirement, death – midlife fits in there as one of life’s major milestone categories.
For the sake of argument, of course, not everyone gets married or has kids, but it is the most common way to continue our species.
In life’s stages, when and where did you start to feel old?
For me, it was four major things:
- Getting AARP welcome letter in 2009 (age 50)
- A dangerous cholesterol report in 1999 (40)
- Identifying our legitimate disability in 1996 (37)
- Buying the first pair of reading glasses 1995

Workaholics rarely have courage for self-confrontation. We’re too busy trying to control things and control life. If we pause long enough to notice the bleeding, we might have to change who we are.
Panic attack, right? When will we take time to:
- Rethink
- Reprioritize
- Recommit
Probably never. Am I wrong?
Or maybe when the phone rings, “Honey, it’s for you, it’s your wake up call”.
