Best to live with a very low degree of intentionally?

The things we did yesterday, those we do today and tomorrow – these are the very things that affect our future options.

Same goes with the things we leave undone.

We know this.

Yet we live with a very low degree of intentionally.

Why?

Because it’s uncomfortable to be focused? To be disciplined?

For example, in two days Apple is making an announcement, probably the new iPhone reveal.

How cool is it that a product unveiling could become an amazingly exciting event? One in which many in the world become giddy.

Is anything in our life worthy of a big, highly anticipated announcement?

Anything in our life worthy of giddiness?

What if it were?

PS. An announcement is forthcoming here. Stay tuned. No specific timeline though. It could be days. Maybe months. But no more than that.

Writing about midlife in only three all encompassing categories

Cooper was always ready for a walk

 

(Photo: Cooper has been gone almost three weeks now. Last night’s walk was particularly retrospective.)

We go through our daily motions. Everyday.

Do we give our routine any conscious, deliberate thought?

To what degree?

How often?

These are the things that make us or break us.

And yet it’s a ridiculously simple concept…

Writing about three things. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

What we learned yesterday. What we get to do today. What we hope for tomorrow.

Strengthen a midlife weakness or let it go for a better alternative?

Strengthen a midlife weakness or let it go for a better alternative?

Exploit and strengthen what you are really good at already?

That’s what I do.

Took years decades to finally see the light results.

Hell yeah it’s scary.

So is being stuck in a midlife rut.

Embrace our critics

We are not what we own (we know this but mass-media disagrees)

 

Embrace our critics? Sure. But mostly ignore them.

No, seriously. For real.

Their voice is not our voice. Trust our voice, the one equipped with our instinct.

And focus on spending our time and energy where our joy and support comes from.

Within.

Not the loud, confusing, unfocused, uncaring chatter that clutters the space we occupy.

Practice tuning out and tuning in.

And get really, really good at it.

And be prepared for unexpected progress.

No, seriously. For real.
