It’s not going to last, so don’t try to make it last

Space Mountain
Walking back to the car, i’ve never seen Space Mountain lit like this before. The combo of artificial light and the sunset was remarkable.

 

It’s not going to last, so don’t try to make it last.

None of us will live forever.

This means absolutely nothing to most of us.

Now imagine if it meant everything.

Can’t do it, right?

Too intense, no?

Dying with regret sounds too intense, to me, to be honest.

So let me say this in plain English – there has always been a finite time span for each of us.

Time.

Limited.

Extinguishable.

No exceptions.

Period.

Clearer?

The goal, therefore, is to live in the moment, because the moment, in reality, is all we have right now.

Too lofty?

Dave's House Insights that Inspire
With a ton of work to do, i still invested four hours to attend yesterday morning’s presentation.

 

Dave’s House is dedicated to providing hope to the mentally ill.

This is the essence of Mid Life Celebration’s mantra:

Do something great before you die.

As Baby Boomers retire, they’ll have discretionary time they never had as an adult.

A golden opportunity the world has been waiting for?

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

You are so worth it

Disney executive consultant

 

If you made it to this third blog, thank you (again).

Just really grateful that there are people like you in the world who can see a bigger picture and that the bigger picture is balance.

Hard as heck to achieve, but so worth trying.

And when the going gets tough, here’s to wishing you great internal strength to persevere.

Would i think differently?

Seniors in electric scooters at Disney
Yesterday after lunch at Epcot’s Land Pavilion.

 

While walking out of The Land Pavilion, prayed for the two people driving electric scooters at Epcot yesterday.

Questions flooding my brain:

  • Did they have an accident?
  • Is it disease related?
  • Was it preventable?
  • How have their lives changed from what they envisioned as young adults?

If it were possible to not think this way, i wonder what i would think (and pray) about.
