Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Life is tough. We could all use a little help. And some days, a lot of help.
Are you doing work you believe in?

If no, why not? And are you still chasing after it, or have you settled?

A mini epiphany is good for the soul. Had one yesterday. Epiphanies don’t come around much anymore, do they?
As toddlers, they happened almost daily. Our learning curve was massive back in the day.
But now? Now if we’re lucky as middle age grown ups, our learning curve looks like a straight line with just a tiny curve. The way a wooden board might look when slightly warped. Difficult to see any curve, but you can if you look closer.
The mini epiphany?
To let go of something that doesn’t matter. And it happened rather quickly after all this time holding on.
While the thing does matter, it is no longer up to this now comforted soul to worry about.
Still hopeful for those teammates remaining. They deserve goodness.
But have let go of the altruistic notion that it was a purpose important enough to die for.
No one looks back and says, ‘Wish I had spent more time at the office’.

So easy to label it a gift, this daily writing about Life’s Five Big Choices.
Simultaneously, it’s so easy to say the most admirable companies in the world are lucky because they have the magic to make things work.
In both cases it can be summarized this way:
It’s not the magic that makes it work, it’s the hard work that makes it magic.
There is no room for excuses in the pursuit of excellence.

This Easter morning final preparations for an eight day tip to Disneyland.
Working while others play is a way of life for many.
Some go their entire career never having weekends as predictable days off.
Doing meaningful work changes our expectations about what is normal or fair.
More than anything, getting to do what you love is more than fair.
