One reason why paying attention is so uncommon

learning from mistakes

fall down seven…get up eight

The main reason paying attention is so uncommon is because it’s really hard work. What’s the antidote? For starters, when you fall down, don’t get back up empty-handed.

Pay attention to why you fell. Learn from it. Repeat, learn.

On the road again

Montgomery Alabama mission work

last week's trip brought me to Montgomery, Alabama

Whew, the final (this one) of five blogs is almost done. Still have a run to get in, and dash off to Orlando International airport for two flights ending in Chicago…then an hour-plus drive to Wisconsin.

Did I mention today is Sunday (April 29)? Did I mention how much your interest, comments, prayers, and sense of community are valued here?

Does the Dalai Lama use five key areas to organize his life?

work life balance

the big three...mind, body, spirit....but there are two more everyone leaves out

Does the Dalai Lama use five key areas to organize his life? You know what I’m gonna say, right?…… doesn’t matter what the Dalai Lama does. What matters is what you do.

Period. End of story. If you are not convinced you own your life, I’d get busy figuring it out. If you are convinced, I’d share what you’ve learned with others, to help them.

Does the Dalai Lama golf?

priorities focus

it can be hard to focus on what’s important if we don’t know what is

Does the Dalai Lama golf? Doesn’t matter. There’s a lot in life that doesn’t matter. The big deal about being personally organized is that you have a better chance of figuring out what does, and does’t, matter.

Writing changes you

Windermere Florida

music stirs the human soul….so does writing

Blogging is a profound platform. It’s pretty simple really, I figured it out and I ain’t the brightest bulb in the pack.

Why recommend blogging?

Because writing changes you.

Deeply.

And profoundly.

But most Boomers refuse to bless themselves with it.

That’s ok.

To each his (her) own.

Dying isn’t as sad as the unexamined life.

The fourth anniversary of Randy Pausch’s death is tomorrow…

PS. Four years ago I used to write long posts like this one.
