Category: Leaving a trail for our son

All my personal posts 2008-2016.

Still cleaning up and hoping, home

Still cleaning up and hoping.

Work falls to the fifth of five priorities.

Why?

Because we work for two reasons:

  1. Sustenance
  2. Contribution (if we’re lucky, and present)

So…

Sustenance has been baked in, by design, for the past four decades.

Contribution, never ends.

Adventure awaits.

Now that you’ve officially retired, home

Creativity: How can i (we) pause while walking 8-ish miles per day and enjoy an affordable power breakfast, and then finish the daily walk. Note: There are two breakfast places near us. This is one of them, this past Friday (48 hours ago).

Now that you’ve officially retired, will your priorities change?

Of course.

Why?

No more working in exchange for financial gain.

What do i think will be the biggest change or adjustment?

Candidly, and literally immediately, the thought of rarely (perhaps never) using LinkedIn is the first thing that comes to mind.

All the posturing, FOMO, selling, bragging, “hey look what I’m doing”…

Mental, spiritual, career freedom.

After that, creative brainstorming on how to capture my life’s professional wisdom in forms that benefit our Son.

And after that (most likely simultaneously), figuring out how to scale and sustain an adventurous, and grateful, way to enjoy life’s sunset phase.

Final Keynote, home

Life changing?

Of course.

And as Walt says, “Keep moving forward.”

Looking forward to the next (life) stage.

My priorities are prioritized.

Adventure is out there.

A new day is dawning, home

A new day dawns, everyday.

Without fail.

We’ll spend the day organizing.

What a gift.

Everyday.

Organize like you mean it.

Truth about values, home

Priorities don’t change your identity, they reveal it.

Prioritized priorities don’t change your identity, they reveals it. 

Intentionality doesn’t change your identity, it reveals it.
