Resist the temptation to believe you’ll be around for a while.
For buried beneath that idea are the invaluable treasures of your life that you’ll always have thought you’d have more time to excavate.
…You’ll never have enough time to excavate them all. Better not waste any time and unearth all that you can.
…While you’re still here and know that you still can.

Walking into Target today, I had a thought that I’d try to commit as many random acts of kindness as I could.
…Boy did that change the shopping experience from what it could’ve been/usually is.

You woke up.
You’re breathing.
You’re connected to the world’s brain.
You’re coherent and comprehending what you’re reading.
And you have the ability to act.
…Don’t look at this as anything less than an absolute miracle.
Do something today that makes you proud.
P.s. January 17th was Ditch New Year’s Resolution Day… I hope this wasn’t you, but if it was… I published a new article designed to be your New Year Resolution First Aid Kit. Read it and get back on track STAT.
There are, quite literally, an infinite number of decisions you could have made in this moment… and yet, you made this one.

Overwhelming when you try and visualize the scale.
Freeing when you realize you might not be as stuck as you’ve made yourself out to be.
Inner Work Prompt: We do what we do because of everything we’ve done. And most of what we’ve done has been because of our environments, upbringings, and various conditioning. Imagine, however, that in this next moment you got amnesia and forget everything you’ve ever learned and come to know… Which path might this “reborn” you pick (out of infinity)?
This morning I caught myself practicing frustration.
I was literally envisioning my enraged facial expressions, body language, and word choice if the shirts I ordered came in late, didn’t fit, or were poorly made…
…What a waste of time.
Things I heard others say while on vacation that bear repeating:
“Living in paradise is no paradise if you don’t have the ones you love to share it with.”
“When I’m browsing books, I open to a random page, read that page, and if it makes me want to read the next page, I buy the book.”
“Everything will be okay in the end. And if it isn’t okay… it isn’t the end.“
P.s. This was my vacation reflection from Sunday, April 23, 2023.
