I remember when I was a little girl and my mother and father would dance in the kitchen. I was totally amazed that she literally danced on her tippy toes and never missed a beat. Like the head fake example given early in the book where the coach told him to watch their waist my mother gave the same advice on dancing. She would say the head may go one way but the body is going where the waist goes.
The story itself was a head fake, given the opportunity to leave some poinant memory of his great contributions he gave his family and all readers the greatest head fake…live life to the fullest leaving nothing to regret. His story about living and not dying.

Life is so much bigger than the petty things we get hung up on. We waste too much time with our whole being engrossed with the “small” stuff. We get “perceptual blindness” or ” attention blindness” where we are so engrossed with some small task that we miss some of the most obvious, beautiful things this life we’ve been given has.

I have to agree with Ms. Decker. Live life to its fullest. Life has a way of putting things into perspective. Life has its own checks and balances!! Don’t give up – just live your life as if every day was the last. Things happen for a reason. You might not find out why something happend right then – but we HAVE TO BELIEVE that things happen for a reason > Good, Bad, or indifferent. I have loved every minute of this book and this study. Thank you!!

The first head fake was not about chasing your dreams but about “living your life”. If we listen to our instincts and try to lead an authentic life, the happiness tends to fall into place. Our life will be closer to what it was meant to be for us and not necessarily filled with things like picking a career for the money/status, doing what society expects of us, etc. We get so caught up in the small stuff (external motivators like guilt, deadlines, being too busy in general) we miss the “big picture” of life and how we want to live it.
