It starts, hopefully, and then it grows

Random photo from the other day at Downtown Disney. It just speaks to gratitude.

 

It starts, hopefully, and then it grows…

A choice, a commitment, and a lifelong habit.

A positive mind-set.

An attitude that never fails.

Gratitude that can overcome any challenge.

Like anything else that’s valuable, it requires daily protection.

Writer’s flood never ceases to amaze

Is it weird to feel guilty for having so many nice things happen to you?

Begging some questions:

  • Should we feel guilty?
  • Do we deserve it all?
  • Day after day?

And then some days goodness rains down on you. Is that fair?

PS. A day full of goodness is not without pain, temptation, sorrow, failure, just to clarify.

A primitive weapon to fight midlife crisis

Mid Life Celebration book
Wisdom come from experience. Experience comes from making mistakes.

 

The best and easiest way to combat a midlife crisis is to:

Reduce our expectations to zero.

Natural reaction to this is, “Are you crazy, there’s no way.”

Remember this truth:

We see what we want to see.

When we expect nothing, everything becomes a gift.

Gratitude reigns down.

We don’t believe we are worthy of this wonderful overload of goodness.

But, my dear friends, we are.

You are.

Whether you believe it or not.

A midlife celebration.

One of life’s most overlooked opportunities suffocates us

Why do we let what we can’t do stop us from what we can do?

How do you thank someone for their overwhelmingly remarkable demonstration of community?

One of life’s most overlooked opportunities suffocates us. And it happens so slowly, we don’t even notice.

We fear failing or embarrassment, so we wait and do nothing. This poisons our soul.

What if we simply did what we could, even if it felt small?

Because haven’t we been taught since childhood that it’s the little things that count?

Yesterday was unexpected proof.

Please forgive the straightforwardness

Today is beautiful, even if we are broken – and we are all broken.

 

Here’s how high i’ve learned to aim…

Here’s the simple choice we all face, everyday, all day.

Focus on what makes us miserable or focus on what makes us happy.

Focus on what we don’t have = miserable.

Focus on what we do have = joy.

Aim so high it scares you.
