Dear Son, live life with these 6 priorities

Highline Trail
September 29, 2017 the trail was deserted. It was amazingly different than every other time i’ve been on Highline Trail in Glacier National Park. PS. There where two hikers ahead of me, always within sight, but not too close to be crowded.

 

Dear Son, live your life with these six key priorities.

Honesty

Behave admirably

Personal Responsibility

Self-control

Initiative

Fun

Ask…

Prolific bloggers
New record for weekly word count at 54,590. The opposite of writer’s block, i suffer from writer’s flood.

 

 

prolific bloggers
New record for unique word usage at 3,099. This is surprising because i do not consider my vocabulary anything more than average (at best).

 

 

Ask…
How brave am i?
Am i a work in progress?
Is it impossible?
Can i be the change i wish to see in our world?
The critiques i easily muster against others are the perfect intensity and frequency to critique myself.
Anything less is a double standard. No?

Humbled, inspired, and haunted

Humbled by my imperfections.

Inspired by my blessings.

Haunted by my standards.

The overachiever in me wants to go three for three.

How much is enough?

I Love Mickey Mouse t-shirt
How much Magic is enough? How much joy, peace, and love is enough?

 

Do we lower our standard, our passion, our hope, our expectations because we sense others resent our energy and joy? Do the others feel trapped and think we don’t know what feeling trapped feels like?

There is nothing inherently wrong with going through the motions, if living like that is a good enough standard.

Which ought to prepare us at any time for a simple, direct, legitimate question.

Are we satisfied?

(Or do we believe we deserve more, better, different?)
