Awesome post John! The older we get the more we let our fears set in which ultimately causes us the fail.

I just wrote a similar post about failure thru the eyes of a two year old. I really enjoyed your useful keys to make better choices in our lives.

Edward,

You are so right; the shackles we wear are homemade. We have spent a good deal of our energy fashioning them, not realizing quite what we were creating perhaps – but the fact remains that we hold the key, and we can choose to discard them.

Choices that honor our spirit, and the spirit of others, lights the path to success, and happiness.

Those choices are often contrary to common direction, but if we apply them intelligently, and if we’re willing to do the work, then we might just create an exciting and beautiful life for ourselves

I love your outlook; It’s one that I’m only now trying to grasp at. I see people every day who are younger and more successful than myself though sometimes I wonder what they sacrificed for that..

I want to continue to seize the moment–every day–until I no longer can. I want to continue taking chances. Now if only I can convince my girlfriend (your colleague and reader, who coincidentally got me hooked on your words) that life is too short to live in our self-imposed shackles.

I disagree with Bruce about working 20 hours a day. That's a sure way of befuddling the brain and sabotaging yourself. I do agree with you, John, that a youthful attitude has nothing to do with chronology. If you keep developing the traits of stress-hardy, resilient people you become more flexible and creative as you get older. Plus life becomes more fun because you don't take yourself too seriously.
