To each their own, home

Prioritize what you want to prioritize.

To each their own. 

Don’t worry about what others think about your priorities.

They don’t worry about what you think of theirs.

People care less than we think they do. We can even go as far as saying they spend zero time worrying about how you run your life.

More simplicity

More simplicity.

The most important priorities in your life should be simple enough that no checklist is required to create personal vibrancy.

Look to Nature.

Follow her lead.

Instinct. DNA. Purpose.

Note: Not using photos today is intentional. Experimenting, obviously. Betting you already knew.

Misinterpret

Recorded two If Disney Ran Your Life podcast episodes yesterday with Jody Maberry. We wrapped up Season 3, which is technically Season one since the first two seasons were practice.

Misinterpreting is easy.

No experience required.

Yesterday when i said:

At some point in time, when we least expect it, we will wake up surrounded by stuff that not only doesn’t serve us, but holds us back and drags us down.

i am not judging others who collect and possibly even hoard stuff.

Sounded like it, i know, but it’s not judging.

Here’s what it is.

People are free to do what they please. i embrace this inalienable right to have freedom of choice.

Freedom to choose is beautiful and i am certain that i can no longer live with lots of stuff that doesn’t make me feel free.

This strong belief has nothing to do with other people’s habits and has everything to do with mine.

The beauty of lightness

Every tiny spider we find in our house has great odds of being caught and released. Only a life with margin in its schedule will think this scenario though and act on it.

The beauty of lightness.

Unencumbered.

Beauty.

Joy.

Gratitude.

Humility.

Just a brief thought-riff on the lightness i’m beginning to feel again. Haven’t felt this light since returning from Glacier National Park 40 days ago.

Light meaning caught up, not overwhelmed, proactive, margin in my daily routine.

Enjoyed the moment rather than capture it

For a guy who takes a lot of photos, i didn’t take many yesterday. This one was an afterthought.

Enjoyed the moment rather than capture it.

Rare.

Would i do it the same way again?

Probably not.

Do i regret not taking more photos?

Nope.

Son, it’s ok to be okay with not doing what you always do.

Remember, however, that great habits are scalable and produce superior long-term results. Aim for perfection, settle for excellence.

The absence of a group photo, when we had everyone here, would have been great but not having it doesn’t dimmish the memory of a wonderful day.
