The paradox of risk
(photo: Fruit or cookies? What’s the risk of eliminating processed sugar from our consumption?)
The paradox of risk is that we always associate risk with doing something different.
This is true, yet the paradox is that it is associated with creating something tangibly new and different.
Forget about creating. Destruction is required here.
What if the risk was to stop doing something?

If we’re lucky we will catch ourselves failing
(photo: Who are any of us to judge another? Do NOT do it. Life will be better.)
Learning not to judge is a lifetime endeavor. We make progress – and then, when and where we least expect it, we catch ourselves (if we’re lucky) failing.

Funny thing about what people really want
Funny thing about what people really want. We start out believing it’s a great paycheck.
Money to purchase the things we want to own and do the things we want to do.
Eventually we get it.
(more or less, hopefully)
And then realize life ain’t about the money.
It’s about autonomy, mastery, and purpose – which allow us to make a positive dent in the Universe.
To personify Walt Disney’s good and decent and lofty values.
Which makes us rich.

Live like you mean it.
