Balance regrets and accomplishments

hand held phone
Can’t remember the last time i held a phone to talk. Last night it happened because my Air Pods died and the backup pair (yes, i have two pairs) took too long to synch.

 

When it comes time to die…

Balance your regrets and your accomplishments.

Got this nugget from a new parent at Windermere Prep.

His and his wife’s grandparents are in their 90’s, and one is a centenarian.

Would it be weird to start a conversation on Facebook exchanging tips on preparing to die?

Honestly, it seems like a brilliant idea.

Five things everyone does

Disney Culture Speaker
Listen to people who dedicate their lives to something important.

 

Five things everyone does:

  1. We think
  2. We move
  3. We feel
  4. We work
  5. We dwell

Understand the big picture and then fill in the details that allow you to thrive in all five.

Get better at one, the other four benefit.

Neglect one, the other four suffer.

It’s that simple.

Speed helps medicate us and distract us from reality

Speed helps medicate us and distract us from reality.

Beauty isn’t seen in a rush.

Clarity isn’t revealed in a hurry.

Change isn’t lasting as we constantly sprint.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Yet we often need to push the pedal to the metal to get “everything” done.

Maybe we aren’t proficient at shedding certain things we do – things that others could, should, and need to be doing?

And finally, what are we doing that doesn’t need to be done at all?

To delegate (hire others) things we used to do ourselves – yardwork, auto maintenance, basic home repairs, etc.

To stop doing things we’ve always done – mindlessly watching TV late in the evening, hitting the snooze button, buying (and collecting) books we’ll never read, etc.

Live like you mean it because…

Highline Trail
Summer 2016, hiking Highline Trail with Dave Weir.

 

Live like you mean it because your opportunity to do so is limited.

The limitations are not known in advance.

Pause.

Let that fact sink in.

Ok, continue…

This can be dangerous – putting off our biggest wishes for later.

So every day that you are able – like today -may you have worked yourself into a position to balance life’s demands, obligations, and opportunities to serve and play.

What trumps being brilliant at life’s basics?

quote about choice
Choosing wisely is hard work. being decisive is a basic.

 

What is more useful to an adult than being brilliant at the basics?

And if there is something more useful than the basics, what is it?

And if not, what’s the definition of the basics?

My definition:

Mind, body, spirit, money, hq.
