Have you seen the movie Stranger Than Fiction?? If not, Will Farrell suddenly hears his life being narrated by Emma Thompson. Chaos ensues…
But, the great thing about it is that you can get the idea of your life being narrated. And I suggest you do the narrating!
The past year has had me thinking about legacy. The term “legacy planning” has come up a few times. I guess once you're in your 40s, it's time to figure out what happens to all your money and stuff when you die.
When inspiring and encouraging growth, have you heard “You have to get comfortable being uncomfortable”
It’s freakin' cold here!! But at least the snow makes it pretty, right?
When I was a teen, I got a fortune cookie that read:
If you have a difficult task, give it to a lazy person and they will find an easier way.
Time has flown by so fast (crazy, right!?). I know, we all say it and we keep saying it… more and more as we get older.
This week a friend asked a bunch of us to send another friend a note of encouragement. Along with the mailing address, she said to encourage with advising. That made me stop in my tracks. I realized that I don't know how to do that.
Did you also get taught that the way to get to the top - of whatever - is through perseverance and persistence and similar such words. I had messages ingrained that said things like “Don't stop pushing no matter what.” Don’t give up. Be Unstoppable.
Now that we've covered Part 3 of The Free Fall Map of Adventure already, I thought I'd start from the beginning of it… Part 1, Information Gathering!
Or a better question… have you ever felt like you're just kinda lost? Wandering the human amusement park but not terribly amused?
Well, fortunately I rode that Free Fall ride many, many... many times as a teenager. It got me used to the various feelings and stages of doing wacky things in real life.
A few weeks ago we talked about heading into the holidays here with a spirit of self-love and moderation, so that we can still love ourselves in January. Just this morning two different ideas collided in my head for a new possible path to self-love.
When I first heard Dr. Richard Grant talk about the Introvert's Backpack, I chuckled because he was so spot on. The Introvert really experiences life internally, inside our own heads. Every idea, emotion, and desire has to be processed before we can say or do something. So, we'll go through a day and just put those thoughts and feelings into our backpack. It's not bottling feelings, it's just that I can't keep up with life if I stop to chew on everything all the time. I have a thing, and I throw it over my shoulder into the backpack.
