If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? by Jonathan Hilton Day 53 As we move through life, there are a few things that become clear are going to be a permanent part of our existence. No matter how things are going they are going to change. We have a finite time to exist, accomplish and live, and we are going to make mistakes.

Where do you find inspiration? by Jonathan Hilton Day 52 Sometimes writing is as easy to concoct. Much like a rain drop falling to the Earth, your words seem to have no choice but to be written. There is very little struggle and those are the topics, projects, articles and posts that make publishing your thoughts fun and exciting! Unfortunately there are going to be some days where finding the words is like driving down the road and having it turn into a dead-end right in front of your eyes. You begin with a promising thought but it quickly...

Is it possible to know the truth without challenging it first? by Jonathan Hilton Day 51 There is a part of me that will argue that you have to challenge everything before you can accept it as a truth; otherwise you are susceptible to believe anything that someone tells you. Yet there is another thought I have that sometimes you can just know that something is true without investigating it at all. My contention is that most often you should challenge a truth, because even the wisest people don’t know when to accept something as it...

Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous? by Jonathan Hilton Day 51 There is no way I would forfeit one day of my life to become extremely attractive or famous because I simply think that both things are subjective and are they really worth it? Now there are some things that I might seriously consider this proposition but for being attractive or famous I don’t think it would be worth it.

Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? By Jonathan Hilton Day 50 I think that I have to answer this question by saying that I am doing what I believe in because I Am sincerely searching to find what it is I do believe in and what I am doing is giving me the ability to keep looking for the right path for me. I believe for much of my life I was settling for what I was doing, and that led ultimately to a life that was unfulfilled unexciting and fake. Life had been moving along just fine, a job, a career,...

Why Are You, You? by Jonathan Hilton Day 48 Today when I think about myself, I do not feel all that much different from the person I was at younger moments of my life. Yet I know that when I look in the mirror, that person has seen some things. I have to wonder what exactly makes me me? I think that it is kind of mind boggling to think that of all of the billions and billions of people that have ever existed in the history of the earth, that there has never before been anyone who is exactly like me. I am a one of a kind original, as all...

Things I Learned Listening to Meat Loaf by Jonathan Hilton Day 47 It was awhile ago that I was driving down the road with my best friend of forty years, when the song “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” by Meat Loaf came on the radio. We laughed and said how stupid the song was, but then almost without our conscious choice, we were singing along loudly and we both knew all of the words to that song. Two dudes in their mid-forties who obviously had too much time on their hands as adolescents. As we talked about the song and the message that...

Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? by Jonathan Hilton Day 46 I think I am more worried about doing the right things than doing things right, but I think that if you are worried about doing the right things you will automatically be doing things right. I believe this question is designed to make you evaluate how you think vs how you act. So I will answer it in that manner, why I believe that if you are doing the right things then you will most always be doing them right. To me it begins with defining what...

What are you most grateful for? by Jonathan Hilton Day 45 It is a difficult task indeed to start to think about what you are most grateful for. Many people will say money. Some will say love. Some will say family. Some will say something else entirely. I am thankful for all these things, but to me there is no doubt that showing your gratitude is the most important thing to do. The feeling of gratitude is important. So for me I guess the act of feeling grateful is the thing I am most grateful for today. Here is why. Taking things for...
