Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Fear is a one-way, all expenses paid trip to an unfulfilled life.
How do i know?
How do any of us know.
We just know. It’s called life.
Fear permeates our being until one day, if we’re lucky (or until we stand up in protest) we demand a refund and buy a new ticket.
A ticket to rethink, reprioritize, and recommit.
If not now, when.
If not ever, why?

Stormy weather is common during Florida Summer afternoons. Sometimes this extends into the evening. Last night was one of those nights. But just to be sure, i walked down to the beach to double check. The first photo convinced me there would be no decent sunset. The second proved me wrong.
Faith and hope are pretty cool.
Hope is easier to have.
Faith is the tough one.
We can control our hope, but faith is tested by the things we can’t control.
Glorious news…
Finally received notification yesterday that our first choice (of three) for High School is confirmed.

Anyone ever said to you, “Watch out, quotes are dangerous”?
No, right?
Same here.
And then yesterday, an epiphany.
The reason quotes are dangerous is that they postpone action.
Quotes makes us feel good. Inspired even.
And this inspirational feel-good feeling masks the pain of not moving forward with our dream.
Quotes are intended to be a call to action, but we spend a lifetime squandering our efforts in exchange for short term pleasure – a pressure release so to speak from all our fear and self-doubt.
Magic happened when i began thinking for myself, and stopped using quotes as a shot of whiskey to dull the anxiety of my unlived dreams.

We become codependent on quotes don’t we?
What this means is that if we asked ourselves do we feel confident enough to have and share original thoughts – clear, concise and compelling thought – would we default to that?
You’re yelling so loudly, i can’t hear what you say.
Or would we doubt ourselves and never make it to first base?
The glorious part of igniting a midlife celebration is nurturing our self-confidence. And when we rely on our own voice, not someone else’s, to inspire us, we have tasted an uncommon freedom.
PS. Often, yelling isn’t words, it’s our actions (or inaction) that clearly speak.

As adults, how many times have we encouraged others to follow their dreams?
We dole this encouragement out unashamedly.
Ok, now what about our dreams?
What are we telling ourselves?
Excuses win, don’t they?
