Prioritize your priorities to pursue personal vibrancy.

The how is yours to create.

The why is, and should be, self-evident.

Looks likes it’s going down today. Looking out from the foot of the stage.

One person’s Gold medal is another person’s impossible. Relish your “impossible” achievements.

Different strokes for different folks.

Do not care nor worry about what others do or don’t do.

Do not care nor worry about what others think or don’t think.

Do you and remain humble.

Organize everything

cut watermelon — Cheryl runs our kitchen.

Retirement guide — A nice six-mile walk and then some news from Disney.

homeowner pool at night — i run the landscaping. Cheryl runs the lighting.

Being organized has always served me exponentially better than being disorganized.
dad

‘Exponentially’ is a massive concept.

So is opportunity to be exceptionally organized versus completely winging life without care (or competency).

One lives to regret the chaos they create.

One lives to appreciate their intentionality.

Know your top secret details

Baltimore harbor — Francis Scott Key Bridge on the horizon.

Shipyard — Damaged ship didn’t have far to go to be docked. The darker center image is the ship.

Know you prioritized priorities
dad

Here’s something to celebrate as an adult:

You do not have to justify your life to anyone.

There may or may not be consequences in not justifying your life.

Positive consequences.

Negative consequences.

And you do not have to worry about either one.

No celebrating necessary.

No pity party either.

Be comfortable in your own skin, your own thoughts, your own beliefs, your own priorities.

Ignorance is regret’s twin

outdoor event tent — Will never regret seeing this tent in the way it unfolded. Never.

church pews — i was the only one in the Chapel. Went upstairs. Reminded me of the Church loft in the Church where i was ‘confirmed’. While leaving after some reflective moments ‘upstairs’, the shadows spoke to me.

The answer to every ignored priority is regret.
dad

Regret sucks.

Hard stop.

Happy present moment.
