Competing interests
…The things in your life that you consider important do change and you have to be careful that they don’t end up really being someone else’s interests and not your own…
Choices in life
… The thing is we should make the choices with eyes wide open, well some of us do. Some have the eyes wide open but are really closed and I mean closed really tight. Do we keep the eyes closed because we want to pretend that we don’t see what is happening around us? Or is it that we have on blinders and are forced to see what is ahead? We are not able to see what’s going on around us? …
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.
