Lorie Sheffer has been a Saturday morning guest blogger for over four years.

She hasn’t missed a weekend post.

Ever.

Remarkable.

Thank you Lorie.

And please know that today’s post (100 day’s old now), is a God-send as they say.

Sometimes winning doesn’t mean proving anything to anyone. Sometimes it means letting go and moving on. – Lorie Sheffer

Just yesterday many of us had events and moments of confusion and in our quest for clarity during the past 24 hours, Lorie’s quote (above) makes it crystal clear what one plan could be moving forward.

To see what is right in front of us is one of life’s greatest challenges.

Why we struggle with this is a mystery.

What would happen to humanity if we could eliminate the phenomenon?

Inspiring quote
Not sure who said it… but it’s brilliant.

 

Maybe we could all use to read a book entitled something like this:

How to live like a kid again

Maybe we could all use to write a manifesto on why we aren’t anymore.

Is something magical happening happening in your life?.

On the cusp of a breakthrough in living like you mean it?

What if.

Dear Son, a tree does not grow overnight.

But it does grow.

Slowly.

And some years it grows faster than other years. This has been one of those years for you.

For the past decade we’ve been focused on honesty above any other attribute.

In 2014, we built on that for a total of four key life attributes:

  1. Honesty.
  2. Behave admirably.
  3. Self-control.
  4. Personal responsibility.

You have done well academically, and maybe more importantly, personally.

Be well and remain amazed.

Dear Son, life is hard.

Here’s a recap of the top four things, in order, for you:

  1. Honesty
  2. Behave admirably
  3. Self control
  4. Personal responsibility

There’s more to life, but if these four aren’t done, nothing else matters.
