Never a "best time"
There will never be a best time to do something great. Don't wait. You must make the best time - now.
Looking for a place…
Some of us have been looking for a place out there...of peace...of tranquility...of relief. But we cannot find such a place out there. We must look inside ourselves, for without finding it inside, we will never find it outside.
Decisions shape your destiny
Where to live, what work to do, who to marry, what habits to form - decisions shape our destiny. Given the decisions you've made so far, project your life lines out 20 years - where will you be? Who is in charge of your decisions?
Will you outlive your money?
Wouldn't it be nice to run out of money the day you die? But that's not likely. If you are under 35, you are paying for Social Security benefits for current retirees that you can't expect to receive yourself. You should have another plan. What would that be?
How old do you want to live to be?
Really. Pick an age. The average answer is 89. Only 8% of peple want to live to be over 100. Assuming you'll live to that age, how much of your life has elapsed? (42%, 63%, etc.) You can't outlive your body. Will it last that long?
Revenge
Revenge serves the darker side of us, and will likely illicit a small war that never ends. Forgiveness builds our higher self, and relieves us of the burden. Who have you been battling in your mind that you can forgive, and set yourself free?
Your Compass Heading
While you can't change where you are in life overnight, you can change your direction. What direction are you headed?
Being Proud of You
It's not what others say about you that matters most, but what you say about yourself. Act in a way you can respect and be proud of. You're the one who knows everything you do, and others can see you wearing it.

The philosophical aspect of this business blog is unique. First time I haven’t opted out of a “daily” after a couple of weeks. This is thought provoking, encouraging and uplifting, every day. Thank you.
I read the post about losing your house a couple of days ago and I choose not not say anything but today, I am glad that none of your family members got hurt. A fire they say has purifying effects but losing a home still hurts. I know, because it happend to me too. The house we purchased in 2007 did not burn. I gave it up the day I realized I was physically and mentally not strong enough to mentain a life style that required working 70 to 75 hours a week just to “own” a house but not really be home for longer than 5 to 6 hours to enjoy it. I chose life instead, even if it required loosing my credibility. I was strong and very energetic and capable up until I had a car accident which seemed impossible to avoid that shooke my core and balance. I lost my energy. My mind could not keep up with the required tempo, it needed sleep and rest. The only way out of the owning the house proved to be a bankcruptcy (2014 is when the official process started but my choice was made 3 years before that). I am not proud of it, I am not proud of a lot of things I did but, I refuse to be ashamed of the person it helped me become. Those experiences are valuable.
