This is Real Life After 70 – Episode 13

My name is Mike Reynolds. I’m your host for this and each episode.

Living the Dream: This is IT!

Have you ever been doing a project that you’re really committed to, yet you find yourself
distracted from your goal. How do we get back on track?

As we go about our lives, we are facing many challenges. We are challenged to wake
up and interact with others. It is up to us to create the life that works for us. Sometimes what we think is going to be a simple task becomes an extremely frustrating experience. I have been distracted by several projects that are important but take me away from creating regular podcast episodes. I have found a few ways that seem to help me spend some time on my long-term goal.

Today I share with you some of my experience with living a somewhat nomadic life.
It’s mostly fun and rewarding, but sometimes it can be challenging.

We will inevitably face some challenges along this journey of self-fulfillment.
Today we’ll discuss some of those challenges and how to surmount such obstacles.

Dashed Expectations harm ourselves and our relationships. We can overcome this by relinquishing control over anything outside of ourselves.

Criticism and judgement from friends and family is a fear that many of us share. We can overcome this and it gets easier and easier as we go forward.

Learning something new is a constant struggle. Whether it’s technology or terminology, we can learn what we need to. Asking for help opens up new avenues.

Question of the Day: What do you do to overcome distractions?
