Peaceful surrender, mind

Theory is worthless without application.

Generally in our life, so much work goes into creating a living space that is visually appealing to our preferences.

What happens if you spend decades creating a living and growing space and then you were blindfolded for the rest of your life?

What if the wrinkles you’ve watched multiply and grow deeper, would never be visible again?

What if you never “see” your loved ones again.

How would you see all of it without the gift of sight?

Loss begets compassion

Eye doctor office
After three hours without vision in one eye, decided to visit eye doctor as a walk in. They saw me within 30 minutes.

Loss begets compassion.

dad

Thinking yesterday about what felt like a possible (not probable, not on the first day anyway) loss of one eye, i immediately started looking for the blessings.

Sixty-plus years with two eyes.

Some are born blind.

Some become blind as children; in one or both eyes.

Others become blind later, but still spend most of their life without sight.

Losing an eye after six decades feels pretty lucky, perhaps even miraculous, compared against common outcomes.

Adventure is out there

Adventure is out there.

But it will not be available to those who wait too long.

The health of our mind (attitude) has consequences

The health of our attitude has consequences.

It sounds obvious, but it’s our job to manage our health.

Neglect one area, the other four suffer.

Enhance one area, the other four benefit.

Seven daily prescription pills

It’s not uncommon for aging adults to take seven daily pills.

Since 1999, i’ve been taking mine:

  1. cardio
  2. strength
  3. nutrition
  4. rest
  5. flexibility
  6. core
  7. goals

Doc says i don’t have to take them all, but he did insist that if i took them all my health would dramatically improve.

And what one does for the body, one also does for the mind (this website is about mental attitude). i write about physical (body) at the “next” website (link at the end of the small paragraph below…)

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
