When a Red Flag Rises, The Skull and Crossbones is on Standby

Beach Warning Flags

Flags are tremendously helpful. The absence of a flag does not mean the waters are safe. When a red flag rises, the skull and crossbones is on standby.

Be careful with that over-enthusiasm combined with feellings of drowning, especially in your older age. You have a lot of life left to live, make it the best ever. Don't spoil your future with short-sighted desperation and youthful dreams. You can do better than that for yourself and still awaken yourself into a dream come true.

Remember, do your absolute best for yourself, not someone else. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Plenty of submarines and other machines, too. Don't get sidetracked with limited discoveries, peep hole views, and colorful observations. DO YOUR SURE DILIGENCE AND RANGE YOUR DANG TIME. Don't jump on the first lures of opportunity that magically appear from thin air. You can do better than that.

Do better.

I'm not a savior, I don't have to rescue someone else from their problems and woes. They are where they are by their own hands and makings.

See a black flag with a white dot in the center of it coming? Fight if you have no better option. At best, retreat, review, regroup, replan, and restart. That would be the best time to try again or divert course, before the grim flag arrives.

You make the rules for your life, nobody else.
