Wingsuit Flyer Gets Too Close To Canopy And Smacks Straight Into A Tree

Eric Dossantos flew straight through an 8-inch wide tree trunk, snapping the top 20 feet clean off. He should have died, but he didn’t. Instead, he woke up in the hospital with little memory of the incident and no major injuries.

So you aren’t Tolstoy or St. Francis
or even a well-known singer
of popular songs and will never read Greek
or speak French fluently,
will never see something no one else
has seen before through a lens
or with the naked eye.

You’ve been given just the one life
in this world that matters
and upon which every other life
somehow depends as long as you live,
and also given the costly gifts of hunger,
choice, and pain with which to raise
a modest shrine to meaning.

~ Leonard Nathan, “So?”

Use the End of the Year to Focus on Wrapping Up Your Goals

If you have any lingering goals you want to accomplish this year, now is a great time to renew your focus on them. The last few months of the year are prime to buckle down on them, end on a high note, and start off next year strong. Since you only have a few months left, you may need to adjust your goals to be a bit more realistic given the time you have. For example, instead of redoing your whole budget or trying to meet a huge savings goal, you could opt for an end of the year financial tune-up. Instead of trying to lose 20 pounds, adjust to hitting the gym twice a week for the rest of the year. Making an effort to wrap up side projects or jump back into personal goals ends your year on a productive note and gives you a fresh start to the new year. You’ll have a clean slate to set new goals, continue habits you built at the end of this year, or start new projects.
