When was the last time we had an awesome good news/bad news day?

It was yesterday for me.

And an amazing reminder at how much saying very little can be effective when emotions are high.

Patience is a well known virtue.

Strategy, a common business virtue.

Therefore, patience is an excellent business strategy.

Key reminder reinforced – big time.

When mentally overwhelmed, do these four things…

Moments like these are rare, so we must create them with our mental imagining powers…

nature's solitude

When mentally overwhelmed, try:

  • long, slow, deep, breaths
  • calming your mind with nice thoughts
  • count the introverted blessings that don’t naturally call for attention
  • spontaneously dream creatively and big picture-ish

The rewards are often unexpected while trying to stay out of trouble and be a likable person… while questioning literally everything.

Our Current System Fails Society

Consider this: When are children taught mental, physical, spiritual and financial responsibility?

I ain’t a genius, but it seems like the overwhelming answer is, “Never!”

Personal Responsibility = Antidote

Why Do We Lock Up The Basics?
Why Do We Lock Up The Basics?

Personal responsibility is the antidote to avoid or at the very least, minimize the damage of a midlife crisis.

When is that drilled into us?

Um……Never.

Unless you are exceptionally lucky.

Society expects personal responsibility to fall from the sky and land on us when we become adults. How’d that work out for you when you turned 18 or 21?

What if mental, physical, spiritual and career responsibility was taught to us from childhood, in our school systems, the way we teach reading and math?
