The future
…How will you enjoy the journey if all you do is put one foot in front of the other without lifting your head. You won’t be able to see what is happening around you because you are not seeing it…
Listening
…I was talking to a friend who said to me, do we really listen to that voice or is it ignored? I will let you know at some times in my life I have ignored that voice and sometimes I have been given a big hit upside the head. As my mom would say, “when you don’t hear you will feel.” …
Plans
…Planning isn’t trying to control everything but trying to have things in place and ensuring you can mitigate as many risks as possible. …
Control
When you are a control freak and assume all that happens around you is yours to mold and sculpt into what you want, what happens when life doesn’t do what you want? No matter how influential you are or think you are life throws curve balls and you have no chance of getting things to go the way you want it. Not even money and influence can sometimes allow you to control everything.
Tests
I have gone through so many tests throughout my life and have not walked away unscathed but thankfully alive and kicking.
