A Mid Life Celebration supporter sent this inspiring You Tube clip. It could not have come at a better time.

And one more thing Son, it came to me, because of a thing called the law of attraction. It’s similar to another cliche you and I have talked about extensively, “Birds of a feather flock together”.

Dear Son, we’ll watch this tonight when I get home from Scott’s service.

Worse is always harder

In 2008, Mid Life Celebration’s tag line came to me fairly quickly:

ReThink – RePrioritize – ReCommit”

1. Life is good. 2. And life is hard. Use the second one to find the first. Why is this so challenging to do?

Hone your ability to focus on what you can do no matter your situation, ever mindful your situation could always be worse.”

Knowing things could be worse doesn’t erase your current situation. Knowing it could be worse allows you to comprehend how much harder things would be right now it things were worse.

Why social media?

You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it’s a little thing, do something for others, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.”

i use social media to pay it back, pay it forward – all those who helped me.

Don’t be trapped by dogma

man and son

.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Steve Jobs
