Yesterday morning. Glacier National Park’s St Mary Visitor’s Center webcam screenshot. Captured this before driving to nursery.

Being alive doesn’t last forever. Neither does today. Celebrate both.

Being alive today is such an insane proposition. The cosmos is infinitely, incomprehensibly massive. Earth is smaller than a grain of sand. You and i are smaller than an atom.

To experience a day, a lifetime, the odds of us being born on earth, mind-boggling.

Who’s responsible?

Historic National Park Boat. No regrets spending time and money here.

The thing to regret is having regret.

Context: It’s inevitable. Everyone makes mistakes. Some mistakes are regrettable. Some mistakes are unavoidable accidents. Some are made from inexperience.

To wash away regret, some life hacks:

  1. Master forgiveness
  2. Master surrender
  3. Master self-reflection
  4. Master learning lessons from “mistakes”
  5. Reframe mistakes as learning opportunities
  6. Master Growth Mindset

Memento Mori

Mountains
Ascending Ahern Peak. Few people attempt this because it’s deep in the wilderness. In a perfect world, it would be cool to go even deeper in, this Summer.

Memento Mori…

Remember that you are going to die.

Carpe diem…

Seize the day.

Why?

Because if you don’t, you may never get the chance.

That is a crappy way to die.

Corner of high common sense and low action

While this is specifically targeted for physical vibrancy, the bottom right matrix quadrant is always going to be regret. Same with childish and distracted. The upper right quadrant is the only one that changes to match the contextual topic.

Two years worth of Covid-19, 2020-2021.

Sixty-two days in Glacier National Park in 2021.

A year’s worth of disruption to our subdivision’s safety and respectfulness, 2021.

Common sense says we should either be prepared for unexpected events or put structure and process in place to prevent unexpected things.

High common sense, right?

Low action means we get wakeup calls that can massively disrupt or dangerously damage the health of a world, a Nation, a subdivision, or an individual.

If you are unbalanced, your outcomes are mapped out on the post-it note photo above.

All expenses paid by fear

Fear is a one-way, all expenses paid trip to an unfulfilled life.
