Grand(Ma's) Goals and Graffiti
If you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you get there?
Every dream needs a plan... A vision... Don't wait.
Imagination is the first step toward action. You have to be able to hope before you can move forward. — Gloria Steinem
Who you are.
Where you want to go.
And how.
And by when.
The writing is on the wall.
We teach what we know, but we reproduce what we are.
Success is a life path; failure is an event.
Be.
Then do.
Then have.
Risk being memorable.
"Sero Sed Serio" - "Late, but in earnest" — my friend, E.M.
Don't give in to the comic book version of ourselves. Be the real person you are. — Toni Morrison
What is my future worth?
Find the new person waiting inside.
Prime the pump of life.
Choose: FILE - ACT - or TOSS
Live outside the box.
"a practiced extrovert" — Michael Dell
The four signs of aging: Wisdom, Confidence, Character, Strength.
Look for them not with dismay, but with hope.
What can I create?
Looking for a most impressive life.
It's all about options.
Make it your own.
Make it happen and get it done right.
The old gray mare, she ain't what you think she is.
Ignore the twin deceivers... success and failure.
Cooperate with the inevitable.
Negotiate my reality in the land of YES!

Listening to my life. It's telling me what I need to be doing.
Lack of money is no obstacle. Lack of an idea is an obstacle. — Ken Hakuta
The dictionary says "retire" means "to remove from service."
Retirement really means going from "Who's Who" to "Who's she?"
While we may not want to be employed full-time forever, most of us
want to be of service, of use — valued, by ourselves and others.
Considering how we'll spend our time is as crucial to any retirement plan
as calculating how we'll spend our money. We're looking for a way to contribute, to be productive, to have an impact — but not a job.
We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our own success.
~ Henry David Thoreau
