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.
Having Friends Over
It’s a great thing to do. It is often fun and enjoyable and great memories can be made. Kids are great at this. They always like a friend over or a sleep over. It’s just a lot of fun. Do more of this.
Present Future
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?
Independent V Dependent
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.
Press On!!!
Get focused. Sort one thing at a time. Move swiftly. Though get the detail right. You will succeed. Press on!!!
Insisting On Your View Of The World
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.
Lightning, Thunder, Rain.
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.
What Is Stopping You?
Who is it really? Is it truly an outside person that is stopping you from achieving your ideal life? Or does that make it easier to live with as an answer? You’ll usually find, if you’re being brutally honest with yourself, that you are the only one stopping you. This mindset may be due to your self-identity, path uncertainty, or desire to avoid the tough decisions and hard work you’ll need to endure. So decide, make a plan, see yourself as that successful person and get to work!
What Is It For?
Reading A Brief History Of Time and listening to Sapiens on Audible these days. Lots of thoughts percolate up with these types of books. While everything matters in the moment, your actions today are unlikely to be remembered or really matter 500 years from now. So what’s it all for? Perhaps any reason is a good one.
Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide
When considering a decision, let your conscience be your guide. How does it make you feel? How would you feel on the receiving end? Would you be delighted to proudly tell your grandmother of the decision made? What would the worst tabloid headline be? Would you be happy with it now and in 10 years?
