Living in the now, absolutely spot on mate. Funny enough in, your father and mine are exactly the same age 👍

Kindred spirits perhaps we are? Haha.

Hey Capt. Thought I was following you before.. guess not. Well spoken. Love the outro. Lean on your faith a little more.

Thanks for following along :)

So true. Focus on today. I stress when I think about the past and negative things that have happened and I stress when I am anxious about the future. Just focus on today. Tomorrow has its own worries.

Amen.

Nice!

'don't believe everything you think' that's a great quote! So true!

BJ Miller is an amazing guy. There is a TED talk out there I think he did as well. Great story.

his good post was posting from his job ya boss

Awesome video Skipper. Love that quote, Im afraid I'll have to use that one. Thanks for posting.

Yeah BJ Miller is a really neat guy. He even had a motorcycle custom built so he could ride and feel the wind in his face, even as a triple amputee. I'd love to see that bike.

Yes I often experience stress in terms of work, for example when I am exposed to many jobs with limited time, or when I am having problems in the family or when I am faced with a difficult problem I solve or my children who make the act that makes me emotional. Your tips give some alternatives to deal with stress problems. Thanks You!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment and following along.

Ah, mr captain...as always, really great talk! :) and that quote is definitely true!

Winny out...for now ;)

:Wink: Thanks for following my friend. Always appreciate your feedback.

thanks bob for the good video keep up the good work

Well thanks for watching and following along. Glad you enjoyed it.

Our dads are the same age. He's got the exact same issue of his friends kicking the bucket one after the other. My dad has also become very philosophical about things.

Yeah man it's interesting the conversations we have now and how at peace he seems with the whole process. Hope I can be the same way when I reach that point.

I really enjoyed this talk. It's easy to get caught up in the rat race and lose sight of the truly important things in life. Thanks for taking the time to remind us of how precious every day above ground is to each of us.

For sure man. Glad you enjoyed it and it's a great reminder for me as well about really enjoying each day. Tomorrow will take care of itself :)

I agree with your sentiment Cap'n. I got sober one day at a time and they add up, but it's really still about today. I couldn't have done it without a higher power.

Very true my friend. I think the longer I'm taking breath, the more I realize exactly how little I'm directing the traffic.

Stress is brutal and sometimes overwhelming. How you handle it can determine a lot of things in your life. I think that it should be talked about more. Great video. Thumbs up!

Thanks. I appreciate that!

Capt, i appreciate the awesome advice!!

Faith is something I lean on heavily, Gods Plan

Awesome man. Thanks for watching and following along!

I definitely need to remember that one! Our brain is really good at lying to us. Thanks Cap!

For sure man. Thanks for watching and following along.

Its my pleasure, man!

Sometimes, "faith" that someone is watching over you is all you need :)
I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.

Peace.

I'm a big fan of Mark Twain. That guy had some interesting perspective. In fact one of my favorite books was "The Innocents Abroad" by him. Thanks for the comments man!

I enjoyed your perspectives here @captainbob. As human beings, death and loss are probably the most difficult things to deal with. I think about these concepts frequently and man, it certainly is a constantly enlightening experience. Staying present, detaching from outcomes and expectations has been the most useful lesson for me thus far.

Side note: I really like the concept of having a (what I'm coining as) a "hospice shaman". My mom does similar work (personally soon professionally) and the impact of that work is tremendous.

Check out BJ Miller and the Zen Hospice Center. Interesting approach he and his team are taking.

This was a really great video, Cap! Interesting take on stress. We believe what we want to believe.

Thanks man. Appreciate you watching!

This was a really great video. Good
