Flying home from Portland, Oregon yesterday, September 11, there was a heightened awareness of change.

Not from the horrific tragedy in 2001.

Rather the keen sense of the drastic, impending change brought on by another dramatic moment in the near future.

Retirement.

It’s such an insignificant question isn’t it?

Apple iPhone 6 makes front page news

 

(photo: Just a moment in time two days ago)

What do you get when you combine 9/11 and five days until Christmas?

It’s such an insignificant question isn’t it?

Who cares.

Sucking the marrow out of life is something that only happens in movies like this.

If we could live fully alive, what would that sound like, feel like, look like, taste like?

We poison our souls so slowly we never notice.

Exactly who is best suited for impossible?

Apple countdown to iPhone 6

 

(photo: screen shot at 3:56am PDT from the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront)

Apple unveiled the iPhone 6 yesterday, September 9.

One-hundred days from now this post goes live.

No one will care about what happened 100 days ago.

And that’s the point.

Inspiration and excitement are like narcotics.

What we want to accomplish is simple, yet elusive… sustaining our ‘high’ all day everyday, without any negative side effects.

It’s called balance.

Impossible is for amateurs.

How was your day yesterday?

How was your day yesterday?

Was it another day of going through the motions?

Was it remarkably cool (in spite of the burdens we all carry)?

How does our day look today?

These are choices we get to think about and strive to achieve.

Seriously.

Every. Single. Day.
