Thanks Katie. I love this video and Brene. Have you ever seen her Ted talk on vulnerability? You should watch with Brisa. Love you. John

Grateful for your readership and comments. Yes dream about now and today and the next moment. I concur. Been too long since we saw each other and traded fish stories. Hopefully before Japan! Love John

Mitchell Sorry about the delayed response. Yes, the road behind makes more sense than the road ahead. If you we are mindful of what we have today and make the most of it, the next portion of our journey will reveal itself. I trust you are well. Thanks for reading. John

Kelli On one level I am glad when my words resonate. I have found these feelings to be quite common. Glad you see the opportunity to work your way through it. You have devoted so much of your life to others, to honor others, to make the world a better place. Believe me I know that there are many mundane things that seem unrelated to the work we enjoy most. While diversifying your portfolio and venturing out beyond the rim of the pot will yield great benefits, there is much to say about what a difference you make though your kindness and care everyday. Paulo Coelho wrote about a Chinese bamboo that grows completely underground for 60 months and then breaks ground once it is ready. It grows about an inch and 3/4 everyday until it gets to 75 feet! Sometimes the growth is invisible and then it explodes. All the best. John

Love that Proust quote. Not quite aligned with this post, but a wonderful sentiment that I agree with. Cheers John

Thanks Regina. One of the enduring values and lessons from my father. He heard me publicly discuss this a couple of times. The greatest regrets come from parenting. When and how do we guide our offspring. Challenging stuff. Repetition and the faith that down the road some of the truth will be harvested. Cheers John

Brad, yes busy is a choice. Amazing how what's important slips down our lists. I meet people who tell me their passions and then tell me there's no time for their passions! Passions first! Thanks for reading. John

Douglas Impressed with your life philosophy. Your commitment combined with the openness to seek help will get you to the promised land. Just heard a big VC say that 97% of his profits have come from companies that pivoted. Your dream will take you on a journey, let it lead you. All the best. John

Olympia Thanks for that insight. If we just stopped and listened to our bodies we would all be better off. Ans, "What I am doing to contribute to my health or condition?" To a healthier 2018 for all.

Thanks Anna. India is still there. Maybe the allure of India has faded. The question is what else can you move off the back burner to the front of the stove? Regrets are little tumors that cannot grow. In the new SWiVEL doc in my post, one of the updated questions #8 is: What regrets do I have that I need to address, re-do or start over? Pick a date to go to India or wherever you want to go next. Start the planning and talking to others. Activate and animate your goal! No regrets please. Cheers John
