Exploring Your Possibilities
What do I want to be when I grow up?
The first time you ask yourself that question is when you are very young - if you ever asked it at all. Frankly, somebody else usually asks you, and you probably don't have an answer, so you just take off running with this thing called life.
And then it happens —
Forty or fifty years later, people start asking themselves that question again after a family and career. The smart ones in the crowd don’t wait either; they question who they are right now. It can be a scary time.
If you are looking for a change in your life, here are a few things to understand—
You can't move forward by hanging on to what you have. Remember, you get more of what you focus on in your life. If you focus on what you are giving up, you'll get more. Instead, you must focus on the unknown future and look for clues about what you will do.
I call the process "Exploring Your Possibilities.
Imagine if anything is possible and there is no limitation or consequence. There is no commitment required, and money doesn't matter. Time has no impact. None of that matters because once you stumble upon what you want, you will have arrived, and everything will be forever different.
How do you make this happen?
The secret is to put the brake on what you are doing while you seek new adventures. It will take time to find a good fit, so you'll have to ensure you stay in your old ways. Please don’t do it, no matter how comfortable it may feel, to get back in your comfort zone.
Pump the brakes. Hold the space you've created. Explore your possibilities, and let life unfold in front of you. It may take time to happen. Then again, maybe it won't.

Gift of a Wonderful Life
Wouldn't it be great if you received the gift of a wonderful life this year?
What if you could have lots of free time, less stress, more money, and great relationships?
In my years of coaching folks all over the world, I've learned a few things about lifestyle design:
1) It all begins when you become aware of what you want and accept that it's up to you.
2) It would be best to believe your dreams could be real as soon as you start living them.
3) You are the Boss of you, so there's no reason for a delay. Stop planning and start doing.
Forget wishing, hoping, and dreaming. Start with little bits of happiness and work toward living your dream daily. Time will take care of everything else.
Living a wonderful life is entirely up to you. Be aware of the desired change; believe it can be yours, and start living it now.

Happy Thanks-Living!
Happy Thanksgiving!
These days, most folks don't remember what Thanksgiving is all about - other than big sales all over Amazon.
The Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving after a successful harvest in October 1621. The feast lasted three days. The federal holiday began in 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving."
Thanksgiving is about being grateful. I think a statement from Stoic Philosopher Epictetus is fitting,
"He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has."
Today and every day, let's make it "Thanks-Living" day.
Eat well, nap, watch football, and embrace your family and friends.
Joi and I are thankful that you allow us into your life.

Setting The Stage For 2025
With a new year almost upon us, it’s time to crank up those 2025 goals.
One of the most natural methods of achieving success is to stick to tried and true. That doesn’t mean you can’t move toward something more meaningful. It means that you forgo new knowledge and skills and leverage what you already understand.
No-brainer success assumes:
1) You already have experience and wisdom. You will learn any new skill if, and only if needed.
2) You will choose the path of least resistance. The goal is to get the results you want in the fastest period. No distractions. No zig-zagging.
3) Overthinking burns too many brain calories. If you are confused and stuck, accept that you may need to reevaluate your plan. Do it fast.
Human nature will compel you to clutter your success journey with distraction. Seek the direct route to the results you want. It’s a no-brainer.

Monkey in the Middle
Have you ever found yourself stuck in the middle?
I was speaking with a client who was trying to be everything to everybody. His business was not growing. His life was not happy. He couldn’t seem to find a way to make progress.
That’s when I said…
“My friend, you are stuck in the middle. Nothing good happens when you are in the middle.”
In business and life, it’s okay to have a low expectation and be surrounded by like-minded folks.
It’s also okay to reach for your dreams, have high expectations, and expect that of others.
What happens if you’re in the middle?
When low and high expectations combine, confusion is the result. Mediocrity overtakes quality.
Frustration will be your daily friend.
The choice is yours. If I were you, I would make the decision never to get stuck in the middle.
