If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten. Henry Ford.

In the main,  much of who we are and what we are all about is the result of our past thoughts, experiences and subsequent actions.

Many are are OK with that, but in today’s changing, challenging world, others not so much.

Sometimes we stay in situation, even if we don’t like it, just because it’s comfortable… you know, the proverbial comfort zone.

It is what is, we say to ourselves… until, for whatever reason, it isn’t.

At some point in our lives some experience a deep-seated hunger to keep on exploring, doing something different and more meaningful.

Taking a new direction means changing your perspective, looking at everything in a new and different way… starting with the decision to stop looking back, picture a  brighter future and then, putting something new into the mix.

Life can only be understood backwards but it must lived forwards. Soren Kierkegaard.

As much as we may wish, there are no short cuts in life.

To live fully is to go with the flow, always looking forward.

Willing to live in the present, to accept and adapt to constant change.

Stay interesting. Stay interested. Stay relevant.

I look forward to seeing you here again soon.

“Some people see things as they are and ask ‘Why’?. I dream things that never were and say ‘Why not?’ George Bernard Shaw.

Some choices are more difficult to make than others. It’s always the most important ones that are the hardest.

The most fundamental one is how you view life. Everything flows from there.

Our society is entering a trying time. Buffeted by a steady stream of threatening, pressing issues, it is easier to think that the good times of the past 40-50 years are fast fading from view, or you can think of life as a wonderful, magical ride, albeit with with many bumps and unexpected sharp curves but well worth the ticket – and devote your time and energy to what you know really matters and holds meaning for you.

Speaking for my myself, as far as I know, we only make the trip once; no one has reported back to the contrary.

It’s your call.

Weigh your choices carefully.

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass … It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
~ Anonymous, more recently attributed to Vivian Greene.

There is no way to completely eliminate uncertainty in our day to day existence. After all, life does not stand still, it’s up to us to determine how we will respond to life’s challenges, disruptions, storms.

Sure, there are a lot of issues that must be addressed, but as ominous as the sky may look at times, it’s not falling in. There are many people just like you, never giving up, doing what they believe is the right thing, moving ahead, trying to make a difference.

Life is about learning to live with, even embrace the inevitable storms, the rainy days of life. To dance between the light and darkness, between happiness and unhappiness, between the raindrops, though it can require courage, resilience, positivity and compassion.

Most importantly, remember who you are and what you stand for.

Life can only be understood backwards but it must lived forwards. ~ Soren Kierkegaard.

The only thing we can really know about the future is that it will be different from today and it will arrive whether we want it to or not.

Life does not remain stagnant. We’re forever growing, learning and maturing, constantly in motion. None of us are who we were when we started out.

Events and people change, and they change us, touch us, impact us, just as we change them. Even in life’s most difficult challenges, a new, more weathered, aware, self emerges.

Loving and losing, suffering losses and celebrating gains, we pass through many lives, as we walk through the years, on our way to becoming whom we were meant to be …
