Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Similar in a different sort of way, a thought from George Washington that is part of the hope at Mid Life Celebration. That you would come to trust this place for reassurance that the long way is the short cut:

Ever wonder how you’ll handle all of the challenges you face today?
And let’s suppose we actually do get a handle on our overwhelming challenges, then what?
What are the odds that we’ll be overwhelmed again soon?
Maybe I should go back to drinking everyday. After a few drinks, we are medicated enough to stop worrying about today – it can wait until tomorrow. That’s a nice relief – no more worry today.
But it mostly can’t wait. If we do wait, more stuff is added to our “pile”.
Then we reach for our “midlife medication”.
Why we fail to look in the rear view mirror and see what is coming is beyond me.

Lists. Top ten lists. Mid life. Midlife lists. Midlife top ten lists.
Mind, Body, Spirit, Money.
Life’s Big Four. Life’s four big decision areas.
All day long we make decisions around these four very simple concepts of mind, body, spirit and money. Mostly unaware.
Having answers to critical questions empowers us with a peace that is unknown to people still searching.
What they are searching for and why they pass by the obvious, is understandable and it is also sad. Humans are conditioned to complicate life. Complicated does not get us closer to peace.
Only discernment, organization and finally, determination to be focused and disciplined.
I know well. It’s taken me 50 years to figure it out. Ok, I’m slow. But also determined.
There is hope for you and your dreams. If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a million times – there is no shortcut.
