Fear of silence?

Mountains
The wild is a quiet place, escpecially when off grid because you’re so far out.

How you feel when you are alone with no distractions tells you your peace and contentment levels.

Everything changes

Teen driving riding lawn mower
The empty lot between our home and the one in the distance is filled now.

Everything don’t change much because change is always happening.

dad

Change happens imperceptibly.

Seems like we notice change easily.

But we don’t.

Change happens one moment at a time.

No one is counting seconds or even minutes. Probably not hours or days either. But maybe (probably not), weeks, months, years, decades.

The longer we wait to notice, the bigger the change.

And so it goes.

Trust no one at work

Four years apart.

Trust no one at work. Humans are genetically consumed with self-preservation.

dad

Survival, since the dawn of humans, has insisted on figuring out your next meal, your future mate, and avoiding death.

We are hard-wired to put ourselves first.

The next promotion, the raise, the career opportunity for exposure, etc. Rare is the person who will sacrifice themselves so others can eat.

What do you want?

Two steaks on a grill
Never had filet mignon until my 30’s and it was at a Disney recognition banquet, so it was free.
Glass of red wine on the counter
Red meat. Red wine. Learned that from Disney too. Last night enjoyed a neighbor’s wine gift and my grilling experience. Superb.

What do you want?

What?

What do you want from your life, specifically, your career.

How your career goes is how your life goes.

A title, authority, power, money — without peace and contentment, what is their value?

How does one design a life bathed in peace and contentment? (Note, if you can’t immediately answer this because you’ve not mastered it, you are in terminal trouble.)

Context: Peace with who you are, and content with what you have.

Nuance, not nonsense

Mountain lake
Same lower lake, zooming in.

Nuance reveals itself in the present moment’s stillness.

dad

Our lifetime is the blink of an eye in the Universe’s existence.

Perhaps a few years of indulging yourself is also a blink of an eye in your lifetime. Maybe you’ll get to blink more than once before you die.
