\u201cFind a need and fill it.\u201d<\/strong><\/span> Ruth Stafford Peale. The world is changing. Aha – The world has been changing for four and a half billion years. The one thing that is changing more now is the speed of change. Technology has over recent years dramatically increased the speed of change in the world. Some of these changes can be interpreted as positive while others, in my opinion, can be seen as negative. Now don\u2019t go off and get yourself into a rampage. I am not against technology I am only against stuff that harms humans; potential, growth, relationships, and inner peace and contentment. When Ruth said this, it was before you owned your first cell phone and maybe even your first computer. If asked today what she meant by this quote it might be different but I don\u2019t think it would have been. Humans for thousands of years have always had needs and will always have them but how we define them or demonstrate them might vary or be very different. Every business that has succeeded during the past few hundred years in the US has done so because it responded to a need, anticipated a need, or created the desire for a need in some way. Just look around you right now \u2013 you are surrounded by stuff that hasn\u2019t always been here and people survived without it. So, what\u2019s still waiting in the future to be created or invented to satisfy a need . . stay tuned.<\/p>\n

\u201cFew people know how to be old.\u201d<\/strong><\/span> La Rochefoucauld. I have shared a few of my thoughts on this topic over the years but since we are in the early stage of another new year I thought I would see if I can add anything that might get you to take a serious look at this simple yet relentless topic \u2013 aging. A couple of quick statistics and my intent is not to be morbid. The average death age in the US is currently seventy-eight. Two and a half million people die every year on average in the US and this number is increasing. Seven out of ten people will need assisted living care in their lifetime. Had enough \u2013 cause I can get even more negative. So, my point is \u2013 living (however you choose to define it) is not about age but attitudes. Everywhere in the world I go I see old folks acting like young people and young people acting like oldies. After many years of observation, that was my reason for writing one of my recent books, \u201cMy Age Is None of My Business\u201d. I borrowed that quote from Mark Twain. If you are reasonably healthy and I don\u2019t care if you are losing your hair, your hearing, or your ability to run a marathon, letting a number define how you live; laugh, feel joy, learn, share, enjoy, is stupid. I can\u2019t kike the way I used to be able to, but I can still get into the wilderness and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Let me ask you \u2013 regardless of your age \u2013 you are young, old or somewhere in between \u2013 is age defining how you think & behave?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.\u201d<\/strong> <\/span>Dag Hammarskjold. I don\u2019t care how rich you are, smart you are, famous you are, or wise you are, the future is a blank slate. Yes, having some or all of the previous might help you better define what your blank slate might look like but I will guarantee, and I\u2019m not a fortune teller, that some aspect of your future life will show up as unexpected, unwanted, uncertain or undeserved. How do I know this \u2013 because it\u2019s simple \u2013 we can control everything we do, say, believe, feel and desire but we can\u2019t control how life responds, reacts, or demonstrates its plan and outcome. So, laugh, live, enjoy, plan, hope, dream, and \u2013 whatever \u2013 but accept what shows up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
