Our pleasure is lost because we fail to stop being ambitious

The pleasure of what we enjoy is mostly lost by wanting more.

Desiring more is normal.

Letting our desire ruin our present moment causes discord. We have all we need, yet desire even more.

Boomers, we must find a way to slow down while at the same time hurry up – because our clock is ticking.

Be organized enough to manage your biggest dreams

What inspires us to not quit? Family? A dog? A child? What?

 

Be organized enough to manage your biggest dreams.

Last night watching Oprah’s Master Class show, featuring Jay-Z and his thoughts, insights, and advice on life.

His first album Reasonable Doubt is a classic Rap album, but wasn’t a huge commercial success. So his second album he tried harder to be more commercially popular and financially successful.

He succeeded.

He hated it.

Selling out.

Those who know what Jay-Z is talking about find this one of the most important decisions a person can make.

Choosing to be happy creating their art, versus chasing the big bank account.

It’s a good frightened

Give a woman a fish or teach her to fish – joy either way

 

What is a good frightened? Some people are so self-aware that it is frightening, because it actually scares others unintentionally. Not many of us would admit that an authentically self-aware person intimidates us.

If you carry uncommon self-awareness with you, walk softly.

And smile.

Always smiling.

Enjoy your blessings today. All day.

How is your HQ?

We all have a headquarters, a corporate office if you will.

It’s the place where we conduct the business of managing our life.

It may be a room, a building, a device, or all of these together.

How is all that working out?

Are we satisfied?

Theses are typical daily questions I ask myself.
