Is our clock ticking on deaf ears?

We miss things intentionally or unintentionally. Big difference.

 

What we dreamt of doing with our life when we were younger and what we actually do now should come closer together as we age.

Regret sucks

College track
Regardless of the fences, i was determined to find a way onto the track.

 

Lane 8 on college track
Lane 8 is my metaphor for life.

 

Regret sucks.

So don’t have any.

Then you’ll be good to go.

Ha, if it were only that easy.

Now enter entrepreneurial spirit.

The coolest and scariest thing at the same time?

There are no rules for how work gets done.

Had always wondered what it would be like to be my own boss.

Not anymore.

Regret: 0

Me: 1

PS. Lane 8’s metaphor for life is this: Lane 8 is the worst lane – the slowest runner is assigned lane 8. But the worst lane could be amazing, even if you came in last. Last in the finals of the Olympics. Think about it, you either see it as “last” or 8th best in the entire world. Perspective is everything.

Midlife denial is heaven on Earth

First day of school
Yesterday in the driveway before the first day of High School.

 

(This is the type of conversation i frequently constantly have with myself. And it’s this tough love that has helped me find the path less traveled.)

Midlife denial is heaven on Earth. We don’t have to think about the tough choices we should be making. This makes us feel better.

Coffee in the morning (and all day possibly). Alcohol in the evening.

Television, social media, food, work.

Medicated, entertained, and distracted.

Yeah, that ought to protect me us from making difficult decisions.

Denying something doesn’t make it go away.

Mid Life Celebration is about eliminating regrets

Midlife Celebration books
i wish i had written a book…etc

 

Mid Life Celebration is about eliminating regrets.

  • i wish i hadn’t spent so much time at the office.
  • i wish i would have lived authentically and remained true to myself.
  • i wish i hadn’t left so many feelings unexpressed.
  • i wish i had nurtured lifelong friendships.
  • i wish i would have used constant gratitude to be happier in life.

But today i am busy so tomorrow i will begin fixing these things.
