Go ahead and frolic, with this caveat

Frolic, as long as you have done the admirable work to deserve it.

 

To behave admirably is hard work.

Plus there’s the, you know, the…critics.

If you live your life worried about what others will think, you will regret it.

Here’s the important caveat in the notion of not worrying what others think – you must behave admirably in the process.

Resist making “living like you mean it” a future goal

Resist making “living like you mean it” a future goal.

What?

Don’t save living like you mean it for the future.

Do it now.

Every day.

All day.

Sure it’s challenging.

But once you figure it out, you’re literally unstoppable.

The stress that happiness brings

Anxiety has always been an adulthood prerequisite.

Anxiety generally increases from our school-age years to our early twenties as we take on adult responsibilities.

Anxiety generally falls steadily over the rest of our life as we learn to cope with being the CEO of You, Inc.

Could people who lead meaningful lives be more susceptible to anxiety?

Steven Pinker wrote this article: The World Is An Amazing Place So Why Aren’t We Happier?

To think, write, and share without expectation is glorious

Disney Keynote Speaker
Prevailing wisdom is context neutral.

 

To think, write, and share without expectation is glorious.

The attitude it takes to surrender to the marketing noise and follow your own path – priceless.

By the way, i define marketing noise (aka advice) as all the stuff the guru(s) and the want-to-be(s) shout as loud as they can to get your attention and your money.

Are your steps doomed from the beginning?

Warning, this post is not short and pithy, but the rest of today’s are.

Being in a position to solve important and interesting problems is a privilege.

The only way you find yourself interested in a problem though is if it aligns with your passion(s).

And then there’s…

The first, difficult, and potentially catalytic task for solving an important problem….

Calling it out.

 

This can embarrass and anger people – usually unintentionally.

You know, speaking up about what could be better when no one has a clue right now how to make it better.

Most people sense the world’s America’s biggest problems, take obesity or the divorce rate, for example.

But big issues are easy to ignore.

Why?

Because they’re hard.

So we stall, we wait, and we do nothing.

Before any real work gets started, we convince ourselves we need:

  • Certainty
  • Easy answers
  • A quick fix
  • A guarantee

If we need any of those things, we’re making excuses not to start. The search for quick, easy, guaranteed and certain results will undermine our creativity to begin.

And without the first steps, the next steps, and the ones after that, well, they never get taken.
