Every single day brings the opportunity for the freshness of perspective

Obituary
Stunned by the news. Al was only 53, with a wife and three child under 15.

 

Freshness of perspective?

What would it feel like to have three overwhelming events happen on the same day?:

  • neighbor says her 22-year old daughter thought Mid Life Celebration (your book) was ‘fantastic’!
  • email sharing that 53-year old father of your child’s classmates just passed away
  • a colleague bestows generosity and kindness beyond amazing

All unexpected.

All powerful.

All emotional.

All reminding us of life’s beauty and life’s harsh reality.

Three choices in every situation

Magic Band accessories
Wish there was a magic band or magic wand, but ultimately the CEO has to deal with this.

 

We make ourselves a victim when we complain.

Three choices in every situation:

  1. leave
  2. change
  3. accept

Anything else is childish.

Have been observing for years a public figure who has slowly poisoned their attitude beyond anything that is acceptable.

Time to walk away.

Guilt-free 180.

Double dog daring every single reader at Mid Life Celebration to go to Lane 8 (MLC’s physical health blog). Why? Because…

Illness is the most heeded of doctors. To goodness and wisdom we make only promises; pain we obey. – Marcel Proust

Having a great midlife attitude is not enough. It isn’t and we know it.

The message at www.Lane8.org/blog is simple and the hope there is the same as here at MLC – that we will treat ourselves the way we deserve to be treated.

Click on the bolded word…. It’s a new year. Go for it! Next Blog

 

The truth about this voice in our head

Magic Kingdom Halloween scarecrow
Shut up, say it ain’t so. That’s a scary thought, eh?

 

The voice in our head says, “This will change people’s lives”.

Agreed.

But.

But many don’t want to change.

They say they do.

But.

So why do we keep trying?
