Better Hair… A Little More Money…Bigger Vocabulary!

As I sit here with my big class of cheap red wine (not suitable for anything but a hard & fast buzz and the Sunday gravy), I find myself reflecting on the events of the past few weeks. I am early into my 3rd decade of this journey we call life and I am wondering if anything of significance has really changed. Or is it just the same old story…different chapter.

We are supposed to make smarter and wiser choices, based on the proverbial “lesson learned” adage, but do we? By now we’ve been expected to step into line, but do any of us have a clue as to what that looks like and what its coordinates are?

We have big plans, we use big words, we think deeper and harder, and sometimes we even know the answers. And yet we often find ourselves as lost as we were on our first day of school!

If you’re sitting there thinking that I’m full of shit and you’ve got it all figured out, then my friend, you need to write a book!

If our mistakes are the same—just tied up in a different bow—how can we change the outcome? By definition, that would make us insane!
