Living seldom stops us. What stops us is our fear of living

Let the memories begin right here, right now

 

Dear son, thank you for an amazing 36 hours. Perhaps the best evening and next day – back to back conversations ever.

Dear readers, thank you for your amazing support after all these years.

Living seldom stops us. What stops us is our fear of living.

Mistakes and failures are gifts.

Life altering gifts.

Embrace them.

Chase them.

Where are you going this morning?

Sitting in this very small airport, still waking up, has me thinking about where I’m going. This morning it’s easy to answer….heading home….to Disney World. But once I get home, then what?

And when tomorrow arrives, same question (metaphorically)…where am I going today? Ever think like this? And do you act on it everyday?

Jacob’s Ladder?

Heading back to Walt Disney World (home) in a few hours. Travel is part of life for many. You meet a lot of people. And in our rush to get here and there, we often miss the small, golden opportunities to expand our horizons.

I talk to every cab driver, and always start a brief conversation from the plane seat, quickly evaluating whether or not the person feels like briefly talking. And most of the time, I’d be content to relax and sit quietly, or do work.

But in midlife, our clock is ticking, so I take small opportunities to uncover inspiration to share on these blogs. And it’s everywhere. Bet we’ll hear about in the next day or two.

Mid Life Travel

Is He Pulling A Princess Bag?
Is He Pulling A Princess Bag?

Most humans love to travel. There’s something about travel that brings out the adventurer in all of us.

There are different types of travel:

  • Routine, day to day
  • Once in a lifetime
  • Business
  • Obligation (wedding, death)
  • Spontaneous
  • Award (prize)
  • Family tradition
  • Fantasy (day dreams)

We often dream of traveling more when we retire – when we have more time, more money for ourselves.

Today, I’m doing business travel.  Never thought life would lead me to a job that pays me to travel and give speeches to change the world.

Mid Life Crisis is reaching our lifelong destination and realizing, “This isn’t what I wanted!”

Mid Life Celebration is reaching your midlife crisis and figuring out creative ways to turn it into the best time of your life.
