Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
The sad truth is many things in life we say are difficult, aren’t.
So we don’t try.
Trying and staying with something is the quickest way to get past difficult.

This website is about our mental attitude. To leave this site to read today’s post on my physical health website, click here.
This might not make sense (at first).
When we believe in ourselves we walk a dangerous path.
Our so called bold belief could be a delusion – meant to distract us from our fear.
An alternative is to do stuff (in the absence of fear) that makes us come alive.
Doing brave, generous, and soul stirring stuff.
No pretending.
No fear.
Or at least no fear that is strong enough to stop us.

Today and tomorrow are especially big days.
Do you ever categorize your days or rate them on a scale of importance?
Maybe on certain big days, right? But not everyday. No one does that. Do they?
Often, we are on auto-pilot. Going through the motions. It’s just easier to adopt the societal norms.
Here’s the paradox though, what should be normal rarely is.
Why?
Because its too much work. Too much focus. Too much discipline.
Really?
Yes.
A clear, concise, and compelling goal – with a deadline – is the key to being fully alive day in and day out.
That should be the norm.

Maybe we should just call it sense.
Take the common out of it.
Common sense is on the endangered list.
Yes, of course, if you’ve got to get a nail through a piece of wood, a hammer makes sense.
But if a positive attitude as well as peace and contentment is exponentially better than a negative one…if exercise is better than not…
On second thought, maybe common sense is extinct.

Anyone ever said to you, “Watch out, quotes are dangerous”?
No, right?
Same here.
And then yesterday, an epiphany.
The reason quotes are dangerous is that they postpone action.
Quotes makes us feel good. Inspired even.
And this inspirational feel-good feeling masks the pain of not moving forward with our dream.
Quotes are intended to be a call to action, but we spend a lifetime squandering our efforts in exchange for short term pleasure – a pressure release so to speak from all our fear and self-doubt.
Magic happened when i began thinking for myself, and stopped using quotes as a shot of whiskey to dull the anxiety of my unlived dreams.
