Now I Get It

Was being helped the other day by someone who knows what I do (The Blog Whisperer) and she told me she finally gets it.

She shared that her Dad (71) was just diagnosed with cancer.

No warning signs.

Obviously, everyone hopes his cancer can be beaten, but this early in the game, no one can say for sure.

Suddenly, Living, before you die, takes on a whole new, and precious meaning.

Live, before you die. Now do you get it?

How many times each day do you ask this question, “Why”?

It’s one of the most important questions ever created.

What’s fascinating is what follows the question – the answer.

Do you have good answers to the best questions created?

Do you know what insight really means?

We should have a ton of it by mid life.

Webster’s dictionary defines insight as: The ability to see and understand clearly the inner nature of things, especially by intuition.

The time to worry about a hurricane is when you don’t have to.

The best time to look for a job is when you don’t need to.

The best time to prepare for retirement, is when you don’t need to.

Stormy weather. Most of the time we get advanced notice. Earthquakes, tornadoes and flash floods are exceptions.

Every year in Florida and all along the southern region, we are advised to check our hurricane preparedness.

There really is no excuse for not being prepared.

Well there are a ton of excuses. I get that.

Same with midlife.

It’s stormy weather for many people.

We should see it coming, and maybe we do. But, so predictably, we ignore it.

Looking forward to the tree service coming this morning to provide a “hurricane cut” for 30 palm trees.

Mondays have such a bad rap.

Why is that?

I can’t wait to get to work on Mondays.

Can you picture Nelson Mandela in prison for 27 years, wishing for a day when he COULD go to work?

Yeah, many of you hate your jobs.

Dwell on that and how do you think your day will go?

Find a different angle. Work hard at it if you have to.

Of course it won’t be easy, but at least you’re not in prision.

Right?
