“Find something that you love. Something that gets you so excited you can’t wait to get out of bed in the morning. Forget about money. Be happy.” Chris Gardner

When I was working for various companies in the cooperate industry people used to proudly say to me that various aspects of the business keep them up at night. At the time, I found it kind of wanky – and now that I reflect on it, I still find it wanky.

Wanky - contemptible, worthless, or stupid.

My thought is that being kept up at night is first and foremost unhealthy. Secondly, I'd suggest for whatever keeps us up at night is a good indication that we are not doing enough about it, to solve the core root of the problem so we can again rest easy at night. 

I also would ask why? Why is it keeping you up? Is it that important? If what keeps you up isn't the motivation getting you out of bed each day then there is a discrepancy with the reality and level of its true importance. Perhaps there is something deeper keeping you up at night. Something you need to address. Something to motivate you to get up every day to make some change.

 This is the thought I explore in this episode. Enjoy!

"Let death be what takes us, not lack of imagination." BJ Miller.

I listened to this TED talk by BJ Miller a while back and had recently watched it again. It has an essential message about death and the process of dying as it relates to living life more fully.

It’s not a topic we often discuss nor is it a subject that we contemplate regularly. In this interview, BJ said, "We cannot solve for death, yet, but we can design for it."

He goes on to suggest that it is not death that we fear but the suffering or process of dying. The critical component is then not avoidance, because we cannot escape death, but instead lifestyle design.

In this episode, I explore my thoughts on this subject and why I think it’s one we should encourage more thought and conversation.
