Break the Spell

We all have this idea that there’s a right way and a wrong way to do things, between retirement savings plans and volunteering at a local charity to brushing our kids’ teeth. And where does it all get us? Yes, we live to be a ripe old age, well-respected members of society, teeth and all, but we are cranky old geezers on antidepressants. Why? Because we didn’t live, really live. We are not really the people we were born to be because we were busy being the people we were told to be or told not to be. It takes great courage to break away from the spell of belonging to our tribe. It takes discipline and focus to even know ourselves, let alone, live the life we were predisposed for. What did you always want to do? A trip to Spain? Be a chef? Own a motorcycle? Seriously, you better get started! I’m warning you. Time is a ticking! And the antidepressants are awaiting!
