One thing I always want to try to avoid in these closing thoughts is offering up oversimplified advice or trite answers to life's big questions. Granted, oversimplifying is hard to avoid when you only have three minutes to say something but one of the ways I try to avoid it is by talking honestly about myself more than sermonizing at you. By the way, I am certain I have failed at that. I apologize. I am trying. Oversimplified advice is perhaps more dangerous than no advice at all. Like when you're considering taking a risk or leaping out into the unknown it seems there's always somebody in your ear saying,“you better know what you're doing.” I've never understood why someone would say that. When you're brand new at a thing you literally don't know what you're doing, so how can you know what you're doing? Almost six years ago, I had to make a decision about doing less design work in order to carve out time to be on the radio. “You better know what you're doing,” said the voices. “I don't! I absolutely don't,” said I in response. “What are you talking about? I've never done this before! Of course I don't know what I'm doing!” The fact is, it took nearly three of the last six years for me to even begin feeling like I know what I'm doing. Some of you are saying right now, “Dean, clearly you still don't know what you're doing.” Probably very true! The point is, some advice is better left not given, or perhaps more importantly, not listened to. Would I like to know what I don't know when I really need to know it? Uhh … yeah … but I am well over halfway through this life and it hasn't happened so far. Wouldn't it be cool if somebody who absolutely knows every detail about your future kept showing up at critical moments in order to advise you? That's why I suspect we're not going to discover how to time travel before I die. Because if I could travel back in time I know for a fact that older me would be right here, right now, helping this me avoid my next blunder. I'd be my own guardian angel. Not only would I have shown up pretty early on with some key financial investment advice, but I'd have a thing or two to say about how to handle certain pains and wounds and trauma because, lemme tell you, that kid did not know what he was doing. I suppose everybody with regret longs to go back and fix things. And yes, I know, the paradox is that it's always the healthier, stronger, wiser me who's wants to help my younger self avoid pain when, in fact, it was working through those pains that got me to my wiser, stronger self.So what have we learned from all this? Well, probably very little. Except that life is tricky, none of us know the future, and when it comes to your next big adventure, maybe don't allow the “you better know what you're doing” voices to shame you. Because when it comes to your next big adventure, of course you don't know what you're doing. As for me, I've resolved myself to follow some advice from Teddy Roosevelt. It's, in my opinion, really good advice. Not because he knew something about the future, but because he understood something about the soul:“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”“You better know what you're doing” … nah …of course I don't. I only need to know two things about the future. I know I want to help, not hurt … and … I want to build myself a beautiful life.

Yesterday we were down at Ventura Harbor to support a dear friend at an event she was hosting. Part of the day's activities included taking a one hour narrated harbor cruise which, no matter how many times you've done it before, is always a relaxing and fun treat. It's just fun to get out in a boat on the glassy smooth protected water, listen to interesting harbor facts, a few dad jokes and bad puns as the tour guide keeps things interesting, and also cruise by big expensive boats and even more expensive waterfront houses. I suppose the attraction of staring at rich people's stuff is all about dreaming of what it might be like to own a great big house, or two, and a great big boat, and imagining how exciting it would be if we were on the inside of that life, looking out our windows at the longing faces on the harbor cruise.So as we glided by one of these big homes with its requisite big boat, it was in that spirit of—let's call it wistful envy—that our tour guide made this comment …“During the Holidays I do this tour at night when all these homes are lit up with twinkly lights. It's beautiful. But the other thing is, at night you can see in those windows when these people are home and you can see what they're doing. And you know what almost all of them are doing? Watching the idiot box! I mean, here you have this multimillion waterfront dollar home with a multimillion dollar boat parked right outside, and most nights most of these folks are doing what I do every night in my little house 23 miles inland from here!”You could tell by the tone in his voice, he was incredulous, almost outright offended, at the thought of people wasting that wealth by doing normal things. Well, welcome to reality. You know the phrase, “the best things in life are free”? Guess what, it's pretty much true. I remember when Tina and I were first getting started, finances were extremely tight. There were many, many, many days when a splurge would be getting a coffee out a coffee house instead of making it at home. And I remember we used to look at each other as we sipped our precious coffee and think about what we'd be doing on a day like this if we had millions of dollars and could be anywhere in the world we wanted to be. The answer was, we'd probably be sitting somewhere sipping a coffee together. Now I know, it's fun to dream about things that seem so foreign and fantastic. But I want to remind you, like I was reminded yesterday, that sometimes … no, not sometimes … often … those dreams distract us from the truth, that pretty much all the best things in life are free. You know who the people are who in my opinion are wasting their lives? The ones who are so often looking to get somewhere other than where they are that they miss out on most of the riches that right here, right now. It's very, very likely that if you and I were in the big house we'd be watching TV. I know we would cuz Tina will not be missing her true-crime shows. Also … and please don't tell anyone this … it's very, very likely that the people in the harbor cruise boat outside, or the financially strapped couple just walking and talking as they sip their coffee, or anyone else who decides to stop looking elsewhere and contentedly embrace the moment they are in … it's those people, not the ones inside the fancy house, that are probably having the most fun. It might surprise you to learn I'm not a person of great ambition. At least not ambitions tied to material wealth. If I have ambitions they are simply to learn all I can, express my gifts as best I can, love all I can, and l most of all be as fully present for as many moments in this fleeting life as I can. What might the world look like if we were all fully alive and fully present in the present moment? I think we'd all discover just how rich we truly are. Because the best things in life are free. The trick is, you have to be there, where you are, contented and grateful, in order for the best things to make you rich. I'm not right here, right now, enough. But I'm trying. It's my greatest ambition to try to just be right here and breathe it all in. I'm definitely getting better at it. I've had some successes, and when I succeed I know, without a shadow of a doubt, I'm building myself a beautiful life.
