One aspect of learning I discovered in my 30's (now 60's) is the brutal reality that lessons I'm meant to learn - will show up - repeatedly - until I learn them. Procrastination, victim attitude, denial - tools to deflect what I know I need to do = time bandits.

I also learned that chronic apathy results in decisions made for me - regardless of my desires, hopes and dreams.

Michael - you suggest it's time to get what's left of our souls back.

Our souls are always 100%. Nothing to get back. Time to use souls - FULLY. Retire excuses that rot common-sense compassion, grace and ability to thrive.
