Yes Regrets

Dan Pink is the author of The Power of Regrets where he points out the value of learning from our regrets. So often, we see in today's world, in the form of bumper stickers, t-shirts, social media etc, phrases such as " no regrets" or "no pain" and everyone's favorite "no fear", but the fact of the matter is that regrets. fears and pain in life are real for everyone and it makes us who we are. Anyone who claims to have none of these emotions are one of two things; a liar or a psychopath.

The key to coping with these emotions is not to avoid them or hide them but instead to examine and learn from them the same way an athlete would watch game film to learn how to be better next time.

In his research for the book, Pink found the great majority of regrets are not for what people have done but actually from what people haven't done. So remember that the next time you want to make a decision. 

 

I'm All About That Bass

I'm All About that Bass is a song I once heard by the Post Modern Jukebox about full bodied women and even though I'm not sure what the significance of it being in the above pen and ink sketch is, I thought of doing it anyway. Actually I may have more of a tendency to prefer more treble in music than bass but I wanted to stay faithful to the song.  

 

Many Miles to Go

There is a timeline to success. No one lives forever and as a younger man I felt I had so much time to do the right things and there was no hurry so I procrastinated. Now, not so much. The fact that I've waited and waited now leaves me with precious little time to do the things I was meant to do and now I find myself in situations that, if I had not wasted time earlier, I could utilize would be success not just for the benefit of myself but for others. I find myself playing an uphill of "catch up".

I don't know if I'm going to see the fulfillment of my idea destiny before the end but that's the very reason I must continue as though my life depends on it.
