Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Look around at your friends.
Are you birds of a feather?
Odds are high.
A growth mindset silently smiles and feels confident.
A closed mindset person never ponders the “birds of a feather” question, let alone the answer.

Why do men hate and despise the doubter? Because doubt is evolution, and society hates evolution because it disturbs the peace.

Often, in midlife, the game of life seems to be won by the opponent labeled conformity.
If everyone is following the path, the path must be good.
So we go through the motions, like everyone else.
Stick to the tried and true plan.
No harm, no foul.
Somewhere in midlife we discover that this was an epic deception.
Then, because we are decades into our life, there seems to be no hope of a comeback. We’re too established, too comfortable, and too afraid to change.
Unknowingly, we realize that silently giving up was also an insidious part of our adult conformity.
Dear Son, enjoy the ride as a high school freshman. Thank you for our conversation last night in the pool.
You are beginning your adult journey as many have before you and many will behind you.
However, i’m glimpsing a level of confidence and self-awareness that is blooming earlier in you than it ever did for me.
Conforming seems to be anything but your desire or goal.

This afternoon is the traditional Walt Disney World retirement party for a 30-year Cast Member. Looking forward to seeing if balance is a central theme in how people recall their time together.
The complete lack of balance in our lives is suffocating. But like living in high altitudes, we gradually get used to the thin air.
And while the view is stunning, the living conditions are harsh.
All the things that make life easier and more fulfilling are down near sea level. Closer to a warm, breezy, sandy, sun-soaked, palm-tree lined beach.
Balance.
Fight back.
Get some.
Get it all.
Everything you deserve.
And remember to stay hydrated, stay in the shade or wear sunscreen.
