This is never going to make things change

Most mid-lifers have quietly accepted their prison sentence on the treadmill of life.

And with each monotonous, repetitive step they keep waiting and hoping for life to shower them with meaning and happiness.

What is the coolest thing we can do to be true to ourselves?

What is the coolest thing we can do to be true to ourselves?

An uncommon question and unlikely we have a ready answer. But what if we did?

Why are so few of us are able to pull ourselves out of our deeply worn ruts. Ruts that began long ago as ‘finding our groove’.

Do only the luckiest of mid-lifers have role models who encourage them?

Do only the luckiest have role models who have blazed a trail as a decent example?

The rest of us, well, do we still have time to become a trail blazer?

Do we even think it’s worth it at this stage in life?

Later, right?

Michelangelo Quote
How long until we set ourselves free?

 

Is it possible to feel more alive than right now?

Oh, wait, not now.

Now is not a good time.

Busy. Very busy today.

Too much stuff to do.

So maybe later, right?

Then, you know, later – then we can feel so incredibly alive.

Right?

Dare not dare mentally

Mike's Chair and Casting Crown CDs
See it there? Today’s message. Everyday’s message – all or nothing.

 

Dare not dare mentally.

Think of things that inspire you.

Good and decent things.

Things you hope for.

Things you long for.

And hope to not long for them anymore.

Go.

Be amazing today.

Only one person can fight our demons of doubt, fear, and inaction.

Every single day brings the opportunity for the freshness of perspective

Obituary
Stunned by the news. Al was only 53, with a wife and three child under 15.

 

Freshness of perspective?

What would it feel like to have three overwhelming events happen on the same day?:

  • neighbor says her 22-year old daughter thought Mid Life Celebration (your book) was ‘fantastic’!
  • email sharing that 53-year old father of your child’s classmates just passed away
  • a colleague bestows generosity and kindness beyond amazing

All unexpected.

All powerful.

All emotional.

All reminding us of life’s beauty and life’s harsh reality.
