Are you willing to be wrong?

Few questions reveal with such clarity the leading indicators whether someone will thrive or merely survive.

Here’s the question:

Are you willing to be wrong, to fail, to look foolish, to dissent?

Growth implies risks, mistakes, failure.

Run to it or from it.

Attitude determines many things, including our priorities and courage

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

 

Testing for January 10… but it’s only October 2. The next 100 days should be incredibly exciting… When Apple’s new iOS, Yosemite, debuts soon, the Cloud may allow the bottom image to size the same as the one above.

The photo above was added the normal way from a MacBook. The photo below was added from the iPhone 6 Plus.

Purchased the iPhone 6 Plus yesterday to test the limits of mobile devices. This is on top of the iPhone 6 purchased two weeks ago.

Our attitude and courage to push our entrepreneurial spirit is nurtured, directed, and course-corrected by the person in charge of our life.

The way to get started is to quit taking and start doing. -Walt Disney

The photo below is much larger than the one above. The experiment worked. The photos are the same size on the iPhone 6. (just checked it, Jan 10, 2015)

Thriving in the key of midlife

Walt Disney World 2014 tee shirt
Walt Disney World has been our hometown for three decades.

 

Thriving in the key of midlife is challenging if not downright difficult.

So much fear of the unknown creeps in.

Playing it safe suffocates our dreams.

Boomers are thinking about retiring at 55, 60, or 65.

In other words, in a few months, or not for another five or ten years.

There’s a big difference in what’s at risk, and what’s to be gained.

Early retirement sacrifices pension potential and increases health care costs.

Later retirement sacrifices healthy and precious ‘now’ time to do things we may not get to do years from now.

The case for doing either one is strong.

This makes it difficult.

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.
