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

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.

Keep moving forward.

 

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.

  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.

How much is enough?

How much Magic is enough? How much joy, peace, and love is enough?

 

Do we lower our standard, our passion, our hope, our expectations because we sense others resent our energy and joy? Do the others feel trapped and think we don’t know what feeling trapped feels like?

There is nothing inherently wrong with going through the motions, if living like that is a good enough standard.

Which ought to prepare us at any time for a simple, direct, legitimate question.

Are we satisfied?

(Or do we believe we deserve more, better, different?)

mind • body • spirit • money • hq (the box that holds it all together)

 

We’ve been misled to believe balance is two – work life and home life. Two is a nice low number, but inadequate in addressing the larger whole.

There are actually five components to balance.

How did we go through life and not know?

mind • body • spirit • money • hq

Now we know.

And we know that knowing is not enough.
