When I was 16, I took a creative writing class in High School. I loved it. I told my teacher that I wanted to be a writer. He said, "Choose a different career. You don't have the aptitude for writing." I was sad, and followed his advice, until I reached age 45. Then I started to write. I've written nine books and publish seven of them. My spirit wants to write words that inspire others, make them laugh and cry and lift them up. I have more books inside of me, and I will write them. My best work comes when I am tuned into my spirit and the words flow like pure notes of music.

When my children were young I decided to accept a long commute to the office so that we could live in a more affordable town and my wife could stay home with the kids. While on the commuter train I wrote song lyrics, and in spare moments at home I would pull out my guitar and write music to the lyrics I liked best. When I got done paying college tuition for my kids, I started renting studio time and recording the songs with a friend who plays drums, bass, keyboards and percussion for me and finds me other musicians to do backup singing or play horn parts. I now have songs up on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music etc and 80 professionally produced songs on my website. I'm still paying the bills with my job, which I still enjoy, and also having a ball as an amateur songwriter.

My daughter Laura died at age 32 in 2019. So for her mid-life was age 16. Laura developed rheumatoid arthritis at age 4 along with an eye condition which resulted in almost total blindness. At the end, she could only see a small spot on the right side of her right eye. Along the way, just before “middle age” she developed an increasing amount of autoimmune disorders and had to take an increasing amount of harsh immune-suppressing medicines. She knew, at middle age she knew, she was living on borrowed time. She knew that she was alive because of the doctors and nurses and the scientists that advanced her life. Laura told me one day, “Mom, I won’t live passed age 40”. After a second, I shakily said, “Well, you’d better do all that you want to do then”. I was the only one she shared this with and since she had always been well attuned to her body, I believed her. We stopped worrying about stupid stuff. We made sure to say “I’m sorry” and “I love you” a lot. We appreciated everyday we had. We took nothing for granted. So, LIVE your life, take time to just BE, and above all be KIND. 💕🐝💕🇺🇸
She was amazing and at her Celebration of Life service many people talked about how she left an impact and how they changed because of her. One month before Laura died, she spoke at my Mom’s funeral and ended by reminding the family to BE KIND. We lost a total of 6 family members over the next 2 years.

⏰ I went through a middle life crisis when I was 31. I always wanted to be a writer. I quit my job, I started a business as a freelance writer and as an author. I wrote 2 books that are published and working now on my third one. My business as a freelance writer really fulfill me and truly makes me happy. I can't imagine doing anything else with my life. Your videos are so inspiring 💜

I've just turned 70. I'm a writer, I travel, I have no responsibility to anyone but myself and money in the bank.
In the last decades I've spent a lot of time trying out different occupations, different lifestyles. I was a stand up comic for a while! I also drove taxis (I love driving) and cooked in an up market bed and breakfast.
I've come to the conclusion that it's not what you do, it's how you do it. The purpose of life is joy, and joy is everywhere. There's joy in washing the dishes - the warm water, the scent of the detergent, the clean dishes afrerwards.
Now I live my life with joy.

“Every man has two lives, and the second starts when he realizes he has just one”. I love this movie because you get to experience the end of Harold's first life and the beginning of his second. Too many people wait too long to start their second life. Thanks for the beautiful video! ⏰

I laughed when i saw this video. I just bought Synchronicity by Carl Jung. So i have taken this as a sign to go watch stranger than fiction again. I always wanted to build my own hobbit style home, surrounded by winding forest paths and carved statues covered in flowers. Build a beautiful place for others to visit. Thanks for the sign.

"Health brings a freedom very few realize until they no longer have it." That is so true. Cherish your health and don't take it for granted.

I practiced medicine for 41 years. Twenty nine years in the emergency department. I thought I knew what life was about until I lost the most important person in my life. A person for whom I would have gladly given my life. After my wife passed away, strange things started to happen around the house that I couldn't scientifically explain. Family and friends asked to write them down so they could read them. It made me relive our life. I was amazed at the amount of synchronicity in our lives. The number was phenomenal. Without just one of them, this life would never have been lived or told. It became a book called "A Random Life?" This our story.

Last night I realized that after my friend of several years conspired against me - in high school - for reasons that were unknown to me - she actually did a huge favor for me.
Rather than defend my place there, I moved away to another school district for my senior year of high school which resulted in me choosing to go to university - which I never would have done if I had lived in that other little town - where the teens get married and have babies.
The trajectory of my life completely changed because she chose to be cruel to me - which resulted in me walking away and creating a completely different life experience and a very different awareness of myself and my world.

I've always wanted to travel, live more simply, more generously, more self-sufficiently, and more joyfully. Making the most of what ive been given. Thank you for this beautiful video and perspective ❤️

Man... I have heard, read and watched thousands of articles, videos or podcasts. But the way, you narrated this in a whole different perspective, gave goose bumps and tears of joy.
Your story telling skills and simplest use of words are awesome.
I don't know whether you will be reading this comment or not, but just writing it out that whoever you are, would like to meet you my friend. You bought a big shift in me. Thank you
And whoever you are, love you.

I was a hostage when I was 17, and after surviving it, I had a choice, either make into a comedy or tragedy. I chose Comedy, of course. In my mind I completely rewrote what happened to me as a gift. I found golden nuggets and began a different life with a different meaning. To this day I believe that was a true gift from God. Who I have become is beyond my wildest dreams. I used it to catapult myself into a new version away from a usual victim mentality and story. And it is all due to that horrific event. Thank you God. 😊

I have only one thing on my "bucket list." Whenever I am able to "retire," if I am fortunate enough to ever do so, I will travel the countryside of Spain & learn to play guitar, all styles of guitar to be found in Spain but most significantly, flamenco. I've always been simply hypnotized by this music & have never had the chance to devote the time to learn how to do it much less having a teacher for such a skill. Maybe, someday⏰

There's one comment below that everyone has 2 lives and the second begins the moment you realise there's only one. This is so true and where we become careful.

This is one of the most beautifully written things I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to

It is never too late and we are never too old, to explore our inner hopes, dreams and aspirations. I took up pottery in my late 50s, and violin, with no musical background, when I was about 60. Those two hobbies define me today. My fingers are crippled and in constant pain due to arthritis. Still, I working through the pain to achieve a spectacular inner joy from pottery and violin.

What I'm going to say will sound wacky, but I've lived my life almost totally as I wanted to live it, and the amount of synchronicities I experienced were mind boggling. Now at 70 I seem to have reached a plateau. Not much is happening, like waiting for something big.

Wonderfully thought provoking story, I shall sit by my window in the morning , with my hot cup of coffee on the coffee table to my left. Pick up the vintage fountain pen , a close friend gave me and lined note book and write the next chapter of my story
