How do you reignite your passion for life? Finally realizing work success isn't enough to keep me happy anymore and don't feel like I know who I am or what gets me excited to get out of bed anymore.

I'm not interested in pursuing a family or children, but "traveling the world alone" seems anxiety inducing.

The meaning of life lies in the responsibilities and goals you take on. Without either, you lack purpose.

Sky Dive- but only if you are ready for everything else to seem less enamoring.

“The key to life is to remember that it is temporary, and spending your life questioning life is a waste of time.”

When you encounter an opportunity, ask yourself if it will bring you joy. If the answer is yes, do it. We started doing this after a long two years in a state. Now we have VIP season tix to the amphitheater in Tampa, and have loved every show so far. We also added a Tesla, and a Hawaii trip. We aren’t loaded (combined income of $170k), but the money seems to work out. Fiancée got $5k in tax return, I hit an 80-1 shot for $2k on the Belmont. Lean into the fun, and see how it goes!

Affair. Like hot intriguing hooking up with someone you met at a conference many times in many cities but never actually knowing their name.

Oddly specific 👀

A question from one of the best mentors I ever had:
I apologize in advance because the question itself is wildly inappropriate, it’s a rhetorical question (please don’t respond!) that on the surface seems like vulgar locker room talk. However, considering how you might response to this vulgar question can serve as a gut check on your relationships and feelings about yourself if you dig into the underlying reasons behind, when, how often, with whom, where, or why not, and most importantly how you feel about those reasons?

They always stated the question just like this in the most sensitive and professional way: “Are you getting laid?”

Remember, you don’t owe anyone a response! Easy to get overly analytical and respond with outrage, what if I had taken a vow not to do that, what if I’m a recent widow/widower how dare you ask me that, or what if I can’t due to physical disability, of course the intention is not to make light of anyones struggle, but rather to draw out the point that everyone deserves to love and be loved as they want to… whenever you find you’re more focused on KPI’s, strategies, and forecasts than you are on love, you need to check yourself!

I have found a lot of satisfaction in life has come from taking on responsibility - responsibility provides purpose. This just doesn't mean work and family, it could mean involvement with your community / non profit groups, recreational clubs/groups where others are relying on you (rec sports, club musicians), or setting goals to work towards in other hobbies/personal pursuits.

Hey all-

I’m interested in joining a local Board of Directors as a volunteer for a non-profit like Big Brother Big Sisters, Boy Scouts, YMCA, etc (or smaller even). I’m early in my accounting career, but I’ve owned multi-unit franchises, managed sales operations, and at one time was kind of active in my previous community.

How do you find those opportunities? I’m not from my current area, so I’m kind of light on connections. Just call? Google and LinkedIn haven’t really yielded anything.

I’m aware HR isn’t your friend . But is it wise to bring a discriminatory situation to them just to keep a paper trail ? I had a meeting with HR and they were not any help of course and very rude and negative . I made sure to write down everything discussed. Honestly I’m thinking about going on STD leave because my anxiety and stress has been through the roof . Thinking about to the psych ward to escape for a few days lol .
