Once in awhile I see a bumper sticker that really captures my attention with its brief message simplicity. Sometimes, I have to be real careful to not hit the car in front of me when I’m trying to read those pithy little bits of wisdom. One of my favorites said, “F.I.D.O” and in very tiny […]

Power Play
Almost twenty-five hundred years ago Plato wrote: ‘You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.’ With insights like that it’s no wonder the guy is still a philosophical rock star today. Without play, we become dull, tired and worn out. Sometimes we resist the idea […]
Daydream Believer
Whenever you’re not sure what you want to do next in your life, look to where your mind wanders. Daydreaming is a powerful messenger for relaying your heart’s desires. The more you find yourself daydreaming about something…the more you’re getting great information about what you might want to be doing next with your time. Daydreaming […]
The Worst Has Already Happened
No matter what is going on in our lives, it’s quite possible that the worst has already happened. Here’s where you say: “You don’t know me! How can you say that?! What’s the worst thing that has already happened in my life?” The worst thing that can happen to any of us is this: Believing […]
Not Our First Rodeo
Most things are possible if you’ve got enough nerve to buck up and throw yourself fully into the challenge. With age, much of our grit is based on a foundation of experience. Our self-assurance for many of our decisions is honed from our prior experiences both positive and negative. Our confidence reflects a mature temperament […]
“Poring” Over Beauty
I remember watching my mother while she would put on her makeup and set her hair. Everyday, no matter what she had been doing to care for her five children, our home and yard, at 5pm like clockwork, she would get dolled up for our father’s arrival back home after work. As she was preparing […]
Taking Calculated Risks
I’m a big believer in taking healthy calculated risks and pushing oneself into uncharted territory. My goal is to give up both my fears of failure and my fears of success: They are equally powerful. Yet, the more I accept that there are no guarantees of failure or success, the easier the idea of making […]
On The Lookout
It’s always a good idea to stay on the lookout for ways to increase the possibilities in your life. Possibility is anything that provides you with a chance to change your circumstances for the better. Unless your crystal ball is working better than mine, we can never predict the ways that life will present new […]
Some Kind of Wonderful
As we age, we often tell each other, “You’re looking good….” with the subtext being… “for your age.” I propose we all start changing the phrase to: “You’re looking wonderful.” After all, “wonderful” is an adjective describing something that arouses “wonder.” Don’t other people regularly arouse wonder in you? I wonder what people are thinking? […]
