If you had a limited amount of time left in life, would you live differently than you are now?

Would you live differently knowing this?

All we need to be gloriously ordinary are two things
Time has a way of tricking us into thinking the ordinary moments in life are to be rushed through so we can get to the good stuff.
The good stuff is the ordinary stuff.
And all we need is a present and grateful mindset.
But alas, we are too busy to focus.

Why life’s boring basics are key to any success
Why life’s boring basics are key to any success. Let’s call them out:
- Consistency
- Time
Effort, done consistently over a long period of time does what?
It produces results that are never achievable otherwise.
Inconsistency and impatience are status quo. The power of the pessimistic Herd hypnotizes us, poisons us, numbs us.
Dreaming big and making slow and steady progress has the same influential ability wind and water have on rock, over time.
The boring basics.
Invest heavily.
Put all your eggs in one basket.

The long way is the short cut
Life is brutal at beating our dreams out of us.
There is an antidote to get around this dilemma.
Keep going when all seems lost or impossible.
The long way is the short cut.
If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Photo: Yesterday. Tallied up the number of consecutive days i’ve written five daily, differently-themed blog posts. It was only supposed to last 100 days.
In the blink of an eye?
Yesterday (Sunday) morning was quiet and peaceful until we heard the Mockingbird’s screeching. A rare sighting of a Swallow-Tailed Kite as it attempted to rob the Mockingbird’s nest of it’s contents.
The iPhone captured the photo as they flew overhead…almost looks like the Mockingbird is riding on it’s wing.
Nature is lovely and brutal in the same breath.
Dear Son, reflecting on a Kentucky Derby party conversation only 36 hours old. With Bob, a Vietnam veteran. He’s on disability from Agent Orange. Just like our neighbor across the street.
Anyway, it started as an exceptionally casual, “How have you been? Please tell me your name again.”
It was a deep, dark, and sobering conversation in which i was mostly a listener.
It was a great reminder for what can happen to children who grow up to be adults. Hell can overrun a person’s life and rob them of hope.
When robbed of hope, drugs, alcohol, sex, crime, and other full-time evils overtake the person’s soul. Big time.
Hell is real.
The good news?
So is Heaven.
Expose children to both. Prepare them well. Really, really well.
Happy 15th birthday Chapin (been thinking about this for at least 100 days).
