Major Laverne uses a shooting-range metaphor to explain how life's purpose shifts. Before recent global events, his mission was linear: work, support family, retire, die. The slowdown made him reconsider, choosing present-moment joy and family over constant hustle. Like tracking a moving target, you can adjust your aim to hit a sweeter life.

Hey there, Major Laverne back to have a conversation with you about the mission of life being a moving target. On the shooting range and in life, targets that move are always more difficult to hit than stationary targets. They require an added level of skill development. I want to share something with you. Before our current global climate, I felt like the mission of life for me was to work, support the family, retire, and then die. Anyone else feel that way? What I don't know about you, but recent events forced me to take some significant changes. Life all of a sudden slowed down and my priorities shifted to things like enjoying the present and being happy with the simplicity of my home and my family instead of being always on the go and rushing from here to there. And as a result, I found myself feeling more fulfilled on a deeper level. So what happened? The mission moved. The target of my life focus moving around serves a reminder that life is forever changing, and it's possible you have the option of making the conscious decision to move alongside your target And if you move with the target, it's just as true in life as it is on the shooting range. You have a better chance of hitting the bullseye, and we are aiming here for a sweeter life. That's all for now. Major Laverne reminding you to put the needs of others on your own. See you next time.
