There are so many reasons to smile in a day. That you are alive is a great one! Hopefully you have your health too. Perhaps it’s not perfect, but if it’s pretty good, usually, then you’re blessed. Finally, having a few coins in your pocket is also a great reason to smile. Now if you have someone special, or a few people, to share this feeling with, then you have it all!
Have you ever felt 100% delighted with your life? If not, why not? If you have, what helped you feel that way.

Have you ever had these thoughts? Should I party now and hope things get better or should I spend a little time preparing for my future life? The tough part is deciding what the optimal balance is for this constant, once-in-a-lifetime consideration. Should I spend and enjoy today or save now and spend later? The ratio adjusts at every moment, consciously or not. Now is the time to make better, conscious decisions.

Few things can even come close to the joy felt of raising lovely kids. When your kids are polite, try something new in earnest, laugh with you or appreciate you for trying to give them your best everyday, it is incredibly heartwarming. Knowing you’ve had a hand in raising these lovely kids is a wonderful thing.
If you can’t see your future it will look a lot like the present. Wouldn’t you like more from life than Same old, Same old?
Would you rather be independent of your parents or dependent? Dependent is probably the easier route in the short term. Less hassle, more fun. Little responsibility required. But longer term you may feel somewhat unworthy. While independence is harder to achieve, the confidence it brings is empowering for life.
Get focused. Sort one thing at a time. Move swiftly. Though get the detail right. You will succeed. Press on!!!
We all like to be right. But given our unique circumstances growing up, we all see the world a little differently. So to insist your interpretation of the world is the only one, or the correct one, demonstrates a level of narcissism or naivety. Your problems weren’t problems for everyone and your success wasn’t experienced by everyone else. So ease up on your Warrior stance and listen to the view of others.
I love a tropical storm. The intensity. The freshness. It’s exciting and entertaining. It was the original 5-D natural entertainment option. Fun for the whole family. We’ve had two days in a row of afternoon spectaculars. Wonderful to experience from inside the cave.
