So I am driving in Florida this past week and an ad comes on the radio about maximizing your DASH. Hmm…..was this some new cyber game….was this a new weight loss product or energy drink….was this a new electric car?
Nope. It was selling investment products and the dash was the line on your grave between when you were born and when you move on. 1979-2016. 1920- 2010. Everybody has a dash. Every living human, animal, plant, even an idea, company or product has a dash.
This got me to thinking about life and knowing that possibly to many the dash may not be all that exciting, it may be filled with consternation, insurmountable challenges, a lack of aesthetics or acknowledgement. It may be humdrum. Wake up, eat, work, eat, go home, eat, sleep, maybe play a bit, text, shop…
Knowing that this one concept- the time between when a life starts and ends is something we ALL have in common, it is time to redefine the DASH. It is time to give the DASH goals, fulfillment, compassion, creativity, peace, joy, laughter, love, surmountable challenges, success, natural health, thoughtfulness, loyalty, sharing, playfulness, knowledge, serenity, beauty, space, freedom, twinkles, sanity, selflessness, happiness. Determine to Achieve Something Heartfelt. That’s it! Every second of every day, of every month, of every year determine to achieve something heartfelt. Your actions will align with your determination. Your life will expand, blossom, be exciting, be filled with joy and compassion.
Let’s redefine the dash. Let’s make it matter.
