Destiny: Is Your Passion Worth Dying For?

“the football field is the perfect place to die”.

CNN shared the findings that Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy ((CTE) disease was found in 99% of deceased ex-NFL players. A Rookie NFL 🏈 player said he is willing to die for the game. More directly he said “the football field is the perfect place to die”. Was he being insensitive? Possibly naive like a tethered Toothbrush? Arguments differ.

But it caused me to think …is your passion worth dying for?  Substandard? Possibly….but what do you think?

Do share.

The Bridge That Binds …

Central Business District, New Orleans

Often we underestimate the protection of traffic lights that play such an important role in our lives. It’s the Bridge that binds. Imagine …without them the mayhem that would ensue. We give thanks for the stop signs in our life that provide a chance to reflect then move forward.

WWII Museum, New Orleans

In the distance is the Bridge that connects one place to the next. Without it, our lives would remain a path of lengthy steps from one place to the next. Awww the bridges that bind. Soooo worth it!

Cheers!

Your Descript Tethered Life …

A sprint. A jog. A run. A walk. I sat on a bench in the park stretching. I watched health and fitness enthusiasts do what they love. I stretched more, then reflected on life. Where are we now? The Tethered years fly by …up close slowly; looking back, it’s a flash. I then began scrolling, and there popped the question from a social media forum:

Describe Your Life in ONE Word

Curious, I scrolled through the list of responses. Some were positive, some nonchalant, while others were filled with a bask of the negatives. Here I share a few of the comments.

Surprising | Destined | Stuck | Perfect | Open Book | Confused | Determined | Focused | Blessed | Challenging | Change | Sucks | Fortunate | Tears | Observant | Destined | Surprising |  Progressive | Persistence |Purposeful | Growth | Making | Incredible | Awesome | Evolutionary | Adventurous | Meaningful | Beautiful

Does any of the above responses resonate with your life right now? Can you add any that’s missing? Feel free to share.

Cheers!

What’s Your Passion?

Passion: A strong and barely controllable Emotion

Life is beautiful!  But even more when you know your passion. A confused Alex asked a group of coaches how he could discover what he was passionate about. Intrigued, coaches jumped at the question to Infuse their perspectives, and encouraged him to:

  • Get in touch with your desire
  • What do you really want to do?
  • What would you do if you had a year off?
  • Go back to your childhood and think what you were doing in your free time, games you liked to play
  • What is it like for you to not know
  • What is something that someone did for you that you enjoyed and had fun doing, receiving, and participating in
  • Know your life purpose
  • The fact that you have a life purpose means that you have a blank canvas and can create whatever you want
  • It’s in your life journey. It looks different for everyone. Explore working with a coach. See who clicks with you
  • Do an assessment
  • Sit still with a paper in front of you. Sometimes you need to analyse what’s working and what’s not working in your life
  • What’s your life goal? Has it changed?

It’s always great to take a step back at different times in life to reflect. Ponder the questions above and see where it takes you. Enjoy the ride.

Years Later…How Would They Find You?

If someone you know who left town 10 years ago returned today, how would they find you? Lukewarm? Would you still be living in the same place? House the same color? Furniture in the same place? Would you be in the same job? Same career? Eating the same? Dressing the same? Would you still be…….(fill in the blank).

Something to think about. Change is good.

Cheers!

Solitude…

The beauty of solitude

Peace, Calm, Quiet, Rejuvenating.

That’s the beauty of Solitude.

Beautiful Venice

The serenity and delights of Venice beckons with Invitations too many to ignore. I hear my name …it’s calling. Shall I accept?

Ambience The Lights

A place of lights that sets the ambience of peace and serenity in the warmth of the cold.


The lights in the cold. After a day skiing in the mountains, we hit the downtown village at night. A place of lights that sets the Ambience of peace and serenity in the warmth of the cold. Twas exciting as my youngest daughter decided to spontaneously capture this pic of herself curled up against the Lights of Nike’s inscription The Chosen.

All in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado.

Thought I’d share.

Cheers!

To Move Ahead I value your help.

At the start of 2016 I decided to take the plunge into a Blog Renewal. I started my blog back in 2011 with only a few posts a year. My goal sparked, I decided to enroll in wordpress university. Now looking back it’s one of the best decisions I made. I became fully conversant with managing my blog and sharing my thoughts on success, goals, personal development, writing, and more. Even though there is a ton more to learn, I am pleased with my achievement this year.

To you my readers I say THANKS! Thank you for following me. Thank you for participating through your valuable insights. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

As we step into a new year and a fresh chapter in our lives my desire remains to inspire because I have been inspired.  Will you help me in sharing your preference on topics I should write about? What would you like to hear more of? I truly value your input and insights.

Cheers!
