Life has five big choices.

Five short, pithy posts are written here every day.

That’s right. Every. Damn. Day.

Since April Fool’s Day 2009.

9k posts so far.

And a book since Thanksgiving.

If you are serious about about change, then get serious about it.

We can fool just about everyone.

But we can’t fool ourselves.

If you’ve never been a regular reader here, what would happen if you tried it for a week?

A year from now you’ll wish you would have started today.

Don’t believe it?

What’s your other next best plan?

The one that didn’t work last year, and the one that didn’t work the year before that?

Our struggles are overcome one single day at a time.

Been there done that, continuing to do it.

World class overcomer.

Pulling for you.

What happened yesterday and what happens tomorrow

The balance and interconnectedness is astonishing between these five:

mind • body • spirit • career • home

As is our determination to make the most of each day given to us.

What happened yesterday and what happens tomorrow are heavily influenced by what happens today.

We are all busy, yet the big choices do not wait for anyone

Someone asked me why I write five daily blogs about the five big choices in life. They were especially curious because of all the other things in life, like work, family, etc. All I can think of is this is how life works. We are all busy, yet the big choices do not wait for anyone.

I guess it is the privilege to think how each one impacts the other and how we can influence that by doing little things each day that we would not have done because we did not give any thought to it.

What this means is our balance equation has five components

Balance, and this photo, are challenging to explain

 

What is balance?

Is it belief that joy at work and home is equal?

Is it belief that time spent at work and home should feel equal?

Joy isn’t the currency we trade.

Neither is the time spent in either location important.

Our currency is actually energy – energy spent thriving in mental, emotional, and physical health.

We do this at two locations – home and work.

What this means is our balance equation has five components.

Not two or three (it’s actually the sum of both).

Mind – Body – Spirit

Work – Home

Five total elements for balance.

More later.

We know this important thing, but it doesn’t make sense until we’re older

Follow our passion. Right? Looks good on paper. Later in life it’s the things we didn’t do we regret most.

We know this, but it doesn’t make sense until we’re older.

What other critical life lesson do we know in youth, but don’t comprehend it’s reality until we’re older?
