Thanks for reading the first four Mid Life Celebration posts to get here. Whether it’s collecting material things or writing, there’s the same inherent danger in both.

Overdoing it.

Peace.

The one thing we know is true when we do it, but we rarely do it

Disney Dream Cruise ship water slide

What if we got away a little more often?

 

The one thing we know is true when we do it, but we rarely do it.

  1. Being decisive

What is liberating about making decisions is that we quickly know if we were right or wrong. And that knowledge feels great.

The sinister part of indecision is that we carry the burden of “what if”. The longer we carry it, the heavier it gets.

Travel lightly my friends, travel lightly.

Sleep in peace and wake up in peace. When we’re decently organized, this is one of the great rewards.

Your life – by design or by default?

intentionality

everything, every element, is by design = world’s most admired company

 

Your life – by design or by default? It’s one or the other.

One is methodical. Intention epitomized.

The other? Lack of intention epitomized.

One triumphs.

Constantly.

The other strangles.

Constantly.

The fine line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

100 consecutive hours is a long stretch of time

work life balance

same but different

Partying and wild times are stereotypical Saturday night activities, as is sitting in a Church pew on Sunday morning. Depending how long you go at it Saturday night, you may still smell of the good time in Church. Yet they are two distinct arenas.

Where does a traveling business professional distinguish time for work and time for life? A five day trip leaves a person gone from home 100 hours.

Stuff does this really bad thing to us

street people carrying with them what they own (most likely)

Stuff does this really bad thing to us. It weighs us down. It inhibits us from living in the moment. We are too busy worrying about all the things we need to clean, store, use, collect, give away, donate, move, and/or potentially use (which is literally never going to happen).
