What is mental hunger?

(photo: Fancy dining room at Lake Lure Inn in North Carolina)

Mental hunger.

Is it the yearning for a better, more consistent attitude?

Is it the wish for less worry?

Yearning and wishing are natural.

So is hunger.

Is it selfish to feed ourselves first?

Isn’t it everyone’s wish to eliminate hunger from the world?

When the proverbial oxygen masks fall, put yours on first – for all the obvious reasons.

You have come far when you can not remember the last time you complained abut something.

Believing in nothing is as dangerous as believing

(photo: Cleaning the office closet last night… resurrecting the launch materials)

Believing in nothing is as dangerous as believing.

Who’s right?

The non-believer or the believer?

Who has full authority and final say?

Live and let live.

Right?

Either believe in being positive all the time or not.

Learn to love your beliefs and learn to trust them explicitly.

Leaving room for doubt is as dangerous as leaving none.

Do we take the glorious opportunities to illuminate?

(photo: Ree is huge part of the glue that holds the reunion opportunity together)

The diversity of everything is such a blessing to appreciate. And being able to appreciate this diversity is a huge part of what drives our attitude, negatively or positively.

Some rise early. Some later.

Some take initiative. Some don’t. Some will help if asked.

It’s not a competition.

But do we take the small, glorious opportunities to illuminate as much positive light as we can?

(photo above: Illuminating is often associated with Sunlight. But we can learn that light doesn’t always shine brightly or directly. We can learn to shine anyway.)

All day. Everyday.

Tomorrow is the enemy, not today

(photo: Dawn. Remember yesterday when we said tomorrow?)

Our attitude today is a leading indicator of how we’ll think and behave tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the enemy, not today.

Tomorrow is a crutch, a drug, the best excuse ever invented.

The best time to have courage was yesterday.

The second best time is today.

You should hate it more

(photo: How many apps we have is a decent indicator to many other things… simplicity is the ultimate sophistication)

You don’t hate it enough.

Hate smoking enough and you’ll quit.

Hate being overweight enough and you’ll quit being overweight.

Hate feeling alone enough and you’ll quit feeling alone.

Hate being in debt enough and you’ll get out of debt.

Hate relying on alcohol enough and you’ll quit drinking alcohol.

Hell yeah these are bold statements.

You know how it’s possible to absolutely know?

Will give you one guess.

No theory at Mid Life Celebration.

Ever.
