Will a whole new generation want to put thriving above surviving?

The main reason we let ourselves go is because we are unbalanced. Remain unbalanced for too long and live amongst unbalanced people and guess what?

Surviving it is.

No brainer.

But what it there was a different choice? A very real choice. One that wasn’t theory. One that was visionary.

Who on Earth would cause such a ruckus as to make the future look so bright?

Falling is living

teen tshirt message

 

(photo: Ninth grader’s tee-shirt two days ago… have asked Daniel several times for permission to photograph his tee-shirts… he may never know they show up on Mid Life Celebration’s blogs)

The ninth grader sees the future with endless possibilities. Just like Baby Boomers did when they were the same age.

The teen wore a tee-shirt (above) that implies making mistakes is part of life’s journey, our obligation.

Making mistakes is part of life. A huge part.

As important to learning how to thrive, as learning to walk.

Yet aging reduces that desire in many people.

Where is the wisdom in that?

Who doesn’t desire to simply be a good and decent person?

 

Boomers have the opportunity to become something along the lines of ‘the greatest generation ever’.

Can’t wait to turn 55 next Sunday. Every gray hair, every wrinkle – earned by being fully alive.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. Live like you mean it.

Be well and remain amazed.

Do something great!

Before you die.

Boomers.

Eight days until April Fool’s Day

Power of words
Never let our memories be bigger than our dreams

 

Eight days until April Fool’s Day. A day most of us will see come and go without fanfare.

Yet it’s a day for misfits and crazy people.

Like us.

To the very special group of crazies that not only know how to navigate all five blogs, but also read them – thank you.

What keeps you coming back?
