Are midlife thrivers anomalies? How do we know if we’re thriving?

What measures, what metrics?

How do we improve those measure/metrics if we have the desire to? Where do we start?

Last night calling home from the Iowa Marriott, my wife called me an anomaly.

Perhaps that is a great metric.

Work hard for that. Listen for it.

And never rest on your laurels.

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

 

The paradox of a simple question that is hidden from most humans

meaning of life
we have bus loads of questions in life, there are only a handful of answers that matter

 

Life is full of questions. Some easy, some difficult. Some complex, some simple.

I have found the simplest questions are also the most challenging to answer… until they’re not.

If we relentlessly dog the question, it will eventually tire, and we will catch it and discover an astonishingly simple answer.

And our lives will never again be the same.

A perfect example of being mindful in the moment

Same place, different time of day…

Artsian pools

A perfect example of being mindful in the moment. Last night two 11-year old boys in the pool kept badgering, “Come on, one more game”.

The Magic Kingdom fireworks had just finished, so it was past 10pm and well past “my bedtime”. And I was tired from a long day.

The midlife truth struck. There will come a day when I’ll long for this type of request.
