May Sth Gain it AIl May l5th Like tl or flot. our future is racing toward us. Our future is flot an optional experience, but where and who 1 arn in the future is absolutely optional. The choices and changes 1 make today wîill determîne where 1 spend tomorrow. Where wiIl 1 be three years f rom now? Every action or non-action has a future implication. This talk is about pointing our lîves toward the future that wve want. Mediocrity always demands balance. Everything in moderation' is the mantra of the dispassionate. Think about it, frisbeet and slugs are balanced; so what? Talents and passions are the way we were created out of balance. Succeas neyer denies passion in order to establîsh balance. This talk challenges us to embrace our inner geek! We cannot hang on to 'energy-draîners' and accomplîsh the sîgnîficant. Our instincts tell us when things are out of sync -the question ta what wîll we do? What part of my lîfe makes me crînge?' That's the very part that needs Iu be repaîred or repfaced. This talk is about knowîng the dîfference and knowîing wNhat to do. Our culture has taught us about'instant gratification. WVe wvant to experience the sîgnîfîcant today. Frustration sets tin when our life goals cannot be achîeved in une giant movement. The îrony is instant gratification always keeps us fromi the sîgnîfîcant. Tfhis talk esplains the power of a long journey in the saie direction. This seems lîke an oxymoron to most of us. How can I hate and esperience a positive lîfe? Our realtty is that wvhether or flot wve are goîng tu hate is really neyer an option, love cannot exst wîthout haie. The question that determînes the tratectory ut our lîfe is. what will I hate? WNhat wve hate says a tut about who we are. Howv we haie says much about howv we wmil succeed in lfie and love. The secret te, destroying every relatîonshîp in lîfe is. always keep score and always gîve others exactly what they deserve. When we rîse above our baser urge to'play faîr, t means that we choose 10 enter a new realm called 'grace. 'Playîng fair'is a continuaI spiral of brokenness and pain. By refusîng to play, we dîscover a secret Io building healthy relatîonships. What I should do, and howv someone else mîght respond. are twvo very dîlfferent issues. Living to please everyone always means abandonîng our întegrîty and living a lfie of duplîcity. What if tl were okay to make choices according to values, rather than accordîng to our fear of someone else's reaction? This talk is about gaînîng confidence in our choîces. There are many ways 10 find success, but if they do nul involve humility. our successes wîill be marked by the scorched earth of the faîled relatîonshîps that wve have tels behînd. Prîde values, 'who is right.'Humtlity values, 'what is rtght. By choosîng Io value integrtty over saving face: we place ourselves firmly on the path to successful living. This talk is about givîng up the facade in order 10 gain the sîgnîfîcant- Miltonl Milton Senior Centre 500 Childs Drive Sundays at 10:00 arn Milton Senior Centre 500 Childs Drive Milton emaîl: off ice(cîlhesanctuary.ca phone: 905-257-3987 www.thesanctua ryca f , [r1Y î
