So, what have I learned in 50 years
about growing-up and the rules of life?
1. When your life isn't happy and nothing seems to be changing,
its often best to leave your failing comfortable life, your home and your
predictable security.
2. Any time you leave your comfortable life, you will enter
a strange new world. Then you must stay until you have made it your
own.
3. There is power in love and in your dreams. Live the
best life you can and this power will find you.
4. When you get several warnings and you fail to act, it will
eventually be too late to avoid the results of your behavior. If your
life is failing, make those changes before someone else imposes their choices
or makes your changes for you.
5. You can never measure your strength, your power or your
influence when you are sitting. You can look with a distorted view
when you are the only source of information. Its in action. we see
our best.
6. Fear is a part of any new experience. Its healthy.
Its normal. Its sometimes out of your control…does that bother you?
Just remember that the alternative of no change is worse.
7. If you don't believe in a force greater than you, just leave
your comfort zone and enter a new world. Then, often, watch “that force”
protect you and make your life catapult to higher levels.
8. I try not to predict or judge the outcome of any life.
I’m tired of being wrong. But, I do recall that anytime I have
left my comfort zone and walked new roads, I have always been pleased with
my ultimate destination.
9. There are laws and rules that exist in life…and we can not
run from them, avoid them or defeat them. If we defy them, we will most
likely sustain injury.
10. Measuring behavior, punishing behavior, predicting behavior
or judging behavior are easy skills to learn and profitable professions.
But, too often, they don't help people and they don't make the world a better
place. If we are to make this world a better place, we must take the
gloves off and "get dirty".
Now, live your life…
