If we are not careful, this will define us

How easy is it for our work to define us?

The process of cleaning things off the Disney MacBook has been cathartic.

Will turn the laptop in the same way it was issued – a blank canvas just waiting to be used.

Deleting emails, files, documents, photos…

Just when we think we are self aware, we learn something astonishingly new and important.

If we are not careful, work can define us.

Please, please, please, remain humble

(photo: Photo taken in error, but using it anyway – a reminder of the blood that was shed by a humble servant, for our salvation)

Please, please, please, remain humble.

Being able to retire is like hitting the lottery (or so it seems from the outside).

Hitting the lottery is something to shout about.

Potentially.

Please don’t go rubbing it in people’s faces unintentionally.

It’s been six years in the making. It’s 15 days away.

Everyone waits until New Year’s day to resolve

Although it’s September 22, 2014 as this is typed, this post goes live December 31.

So cool surreal to be in two moments simultaneously.

December 31, 2001 was Mid Life Celebration’s founder’s first non-drinking day in three decades.

He decided on his third (the first two failed) serious try to quit, he’d go big or go home.

Everyone waits until New Year’s day to resolve.

He couldn’t wait, there was too much at stake.

Who quits drinking on the biggest drinking day of the year?

A zealot?

Pretty much.

Someone once wrote:

When your Child goes looking for the face of Jesus in the real world, he shouldn’t have to look any farther than across your dinner table.

Probably the same zealot who believes balance is not only possible, but demanded.

World peace is just a pipe dream…

Right?

Come on.

Be the change.
