Midlife repetition is the mother of all excellence or not

We’ve heard the first two over and over, but the third one?

If not you, who?
If not now, when?
If not at all, why?

Midlife repetition is the mother of all excellence.

Or maybe not.

Every dang day?

If we desire excellence, you know, thriving, then yes.

Neglect and excuses are the other (unintentional) option.

Daily habits either way?

Yes.

Never forget that.

You know what makes someone a writer, or anything really?

Anyone can say they are anything

First trip as a published midlife author. Not a big deal.

Why?

Because.

Because when you’ve been publishing five daily, differently-themed blog posts for nearly five straight years, it’s who you are.

And you know what makes someone a writer, or anything really?

Belief.

Proof.

Three things being overwhelmed can teach us

Barnes and Noble Bookshelves of Management books — No shortage of advice on managing things

Three things being overwhelmed can teach us:

expect the unexpected (at any moment, and especially when we can least afford it)
keep things simple so when they get complicated, they are less complicated
maybe the best we can hope for is to be barely on the other (good) side of insanity

Building a strong foundation by midlife probably didn’t happen for most of us. Building now is totally within our realm now because we know we need it and no one else will do it for us.

Boy and his Dog at the beach — Life happens one glorious (and fearful) day at a time

Face our shortcomings and fears. Admit them.

But don’t ever let them master us.

Ever.

As surely as the sun rises, they will be there to taunt and intimidate us.

Forgive them.

And let them teach us patience, insight, and joy.

I think most of us live in fear – a fear we’ve become expert in denying. And because we are so good denying it, we live our days on auto-pilot.

To those of you who read my posts regularly, you, unknowingly probably, are part of a small percentage of our population that isn’t satisfied with following the herd – the traditional, majority led conformity thinking.

Good for you.
