It comes down to the start of each day doesn’t it? And this tone is set whether we are conscious of it or not.
The day began at 3:30am Mountain Time.
Pray.
Read.
Think.

The challenge with living like we mean it is there is so much to choose from. Then add to that the unexpected, but regular, challenges life throws our way.
Every single day we have more than we can handle. And what we can’t handle today gets added to tomorrow’s list of normal things plus a growing list of things we don’t have time for.
And we wonder why we are stressed out.
What do you do everyday because you’re passionate about it? And hate when you don’t get to do it?
So add to the daily ‘live-like-you-mean-it’ recipe the dissatisfaction that comes from not getting to embrace our passion.
The constant temptation to short change our dreams.
Time.
It all comes down to time doesn’t it?
And priorities.
And balance.
No?

The older we get, the more authenticity appeals to us and feels uncompromisingly important.
And yet.

The only possible way this will work is if we discard the old rules.
Conformity. Compliance. Toleration. Yearning. Stalling.

Someone asked me why I write five daily blogs about the five big choices in life. They were especially curious because of all the other things in life, like work, family, etc. All I can think of is this is how life works. We are all busy, yet the big choices do not wait for anyone.
I guess it is the privilege to think how each one impacts the other and how we can influence that by doing little things each day that we would not have done because we did not give any thought to it.
