S1: E20 See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya. We need to not only adopt this philosophy but to actually implement it and make it our daily practice. When you are in a toxic relationship whether it be a long term friendship, marriage, merely dating, or with a co-worker or boss, the second it goes south and starts affecting your life….. SEE YA.

S1: E60 The Big 60. Yesterday was my 60th birthday and I want to share with you the great day I had along with some other updates.

Listen to the story of my birth in regards to Roe v. Wade and form your own opinion. But please think twice.

S1:E17 King of My Castle. I am officially the king of my castle. I have recently reclaimed my log cabin in Virginia and could not be happier. I finally got my son to move out and me and Snuggles are back. Here about this exciting update as I am finally living my life the way I want.

S1:E16 Sideways: When someone or some situation has you going sideways, this is God’s way of telling you to move on. Take two steps back, one step to the side (“scootchadootch”) and then you can move forward on your new path.

I just celebrated my 59th birthday and it was happy. But I am more excited about preparing for my next birthday.

What challenges are in front of you that provide opportunities for you to be resourceful?

This is an update of my first 60 days of log cabin living in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This was a lifelong dream that I actively pursued for the past 3 years. You can’t just dream. If you want more out of life, you have to actively pursue what you want and put it out to the universe so the stars will align at the right time.

S1: E12 Regret and the Rocking Chair Test. What are you going to say that you wish you did when you are 70, 80, 90 years old and you are sitting in your rocking chair. I am going to smile and thank God for giving me the strength to live my life to the fullest.

Hopefully you are doing things on a daily basis that bring you joy but to attain true inner happiness, these daily activities, hobbies, etc. are merely extrinsic. To be truly happy for the long term, the goal is to feel intrinsic happiness. The biggest challenge or threat to intrinsic happiness is regret and continual dwelling on you personal and/or professional failures. You have to forgive yourself and move on so you can continue to be the best version of yourself. Then and only then will you be able to attain true long lasting happiness.
