ACT like a child and think like a happy, peaceful 90 year old.
Simple, huh?
Mostly, however, this simple recipe, somehow in our “middle” years, becomes muddled in our minds. We lose perspective and oftentimes feel like we’ve lost our way. Here’s a brief, but powerful reminder.
Remember…
Children, in “pre-school,” do NOT need to be told that most learning is done through playing. They cannot tell the difference. All are artists and really couldn’t care less if their “mud pies” are up to your standard. They are simply playing and learning at the same time. Sounds a little romantic, doesn’t it? Can you remember your early brushes with your art?
Peaceful 90 year olds think very little about their bank accounts. They worry very little about what others “think” about them. The peaceful, happy ones are focused on the friends that remain, and mostly laugh about those they’ve lost. They think about the “richness” of their relationships and, practically speaking, about with whom they’ll share their next meal. God love ’em.
As you head toward your 2020 vision with 20/20 clarity, remember that most humans lose their way somewhere in the “middle.” They pay too much attention to the amount of “zero’s” in their bank accounts and too little toward “measuring” the richness of their relationships. Do NOT make the same mistake. Do not lose perspective.
It is predictably irrational to muddle your middle years. Instead, remember to ACT more and more like a child, and think like a happy, peaceful 90 year old…
NOW.
Simple, huh…
