These seemingly mutually exclusive concepts are identical twins

Common sense tells us to do what we love. Do we? Do we lie awake in bed, wondering when our alarm clock is ever gonna go off, thinking come on, bring it on! Is that how it is?

Thriving in midlife is about feeling like that. It’s about when our pleasure and our business are so entangled, it looks like only one thing, not two.

My pleasure and my business is to help people think deeper, smile more, and feel grateful at the amazing power of common sense – when it finally becomes common practice.

Are our pleasures and our business the same thing?

To find a way to get us to think so differently about common sense that we’ll feel like our life moving forward will never again be the same.

Interesting business proposition.

Then’s there’s a simple blogging proposition: To help others think, smile, and feel grateful.

Tomorrow, what common sense tells us about this.

Which way did he go? For the past week, been thinking about which way I’m gonna go tomorrow – you know, with the blogging.

And for four months, been wondering which way I’m gonna go – you know, with the business.

Are they mutually exclusive?

The thing with going with our gut is… what if we’re wrong.

The other thing, what if we don’t… and we were right that we should have?

One of the most profound, tough love messages ever written on a napkin.

Written three summers ago on a Chick-fil-A restaurant napkin.

Cinderella story, becoming one of the Internet’s most prolific bloggers

Inspirational Mall wall sign — started on April Fool’s Day to try and find some humor to mask my fear

Last night’s post revealed something historical from April 1, 2009 that has long been forgotten – I never intended to become the Internet’s Only Five-A-Day Blogger.

Never.

Ever.

But I have to tell you.

I like the way the shoes fit now, April 1, 2013.
