I think I already knew this, perhaps from a former self.

One week ago we were hiking the mountains in and around Aspen Colorado. It was a glorious getaway surrounded by gorgeous natural beauty. Our MGS (mountain goat son) gave us a glimpse into his new life, living and working in the Roaring Fork Valley. The original plan was to spend a long Labor Day weekend with MGS but he had other plans. Right now he’s in Utah on a kayak and camping trip with friends from work.
It’s all about balance. When working, work your ass off. When you’re not working, make damn sure you truly take time off to pursue whatever you find enjoyable and forget totally about work. Disconnect!!! Leave all of your inconvenient 24/7 devices at home. The emails can wait until you get back.
One of the life lessons I’ve passed along to MSG and his brother RocDoc came in the form of a question. Be brutally honest and ask yourself this:
Do you live to work or do you work to live?

“Find a niche. The more obscure the better. Be the only Tibetan yak milk importer in the country. Or craft the best hand-made shoes in Milan. OR be the guy you call when billionaires in Houston are divorcing their spouses of thirty years.”

Writing Wednesdays: “I’m On A Mission”
Writing Wednesdays: “I’m On A Mission”.
“The mission devours you, but it feeds you too. It endows you with focus. It lends your actions meaning. You define it and it defines you.
If you’re reading this blog, my guess is that you’re on a mission too. Don’t tell me. I don’t need to know what it is. I respect you just for having it. I salute you. If we pass in the street, I will see that mission in your eyes and I’ll silently honor it and honor you.
You had no choice in your mission, did you? You didn’t pick it. It picked you, just like it picked Jake and Elwood Blues.
That’s not bad company to be in.”

Drug Testing for Life Insurance
I was in the pharmacy today and stumbled upon these testing kits.
What’s the point of testing for drugs of abuse in applicants for life insurance when they can easily test themselves prior to submitting blood for the company?
