Running for Your Life: More Choice Stuff

At 63, my choices today can seem as exciting as a house painting renovation: slow and methodical but dead-satisfied with the results.

I’d argue that choices I make now sustain a narrow range because they are the product of years of – for want of a better word – experience in choosing practice.

Akin to find your passion and make it happen.

I’d alter that to a choice rather than a finding.

We come across so many pursuits, activities, causes, crusades in a long life. Those who make the right – or at least a reasonable – choice about which one of these actions will occur based on perfect moments defined by your imperfect self.

A life at best is a story.

If you’ve been blessed by enough resources to make choices, you’ve only yourself to blame if your own personal story is boring, and not to others, God forbid, but boring for yourself.
