"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

Trying To Hard To Be Liked?

When someone tells you, “That’s not going to win you any popularity contests," do you begin to launder and lacquer your words to make them acceptable? Or do you say at once, “But I ain’t running for office!” Few things are more uncomfortable than a person who is trying too hard to be liked.
