While I’ve been thinking about how to structure my notes and files for this project, I realized it’s worth asking: What are we actually trying to achieve with Steady Bunny? What does “Life Reimagined” even mean?
For me, it starts with this quote I saw online:
“The time will pass anyway. You can either spend it creating the life you want or spend it living the life you don’t want. The choice is yours.”
That hit me hard. Because life is already happening. It’s not waiting for us to catch up.
For years, I had this quiet belief that life would begin after something — after high school, after college, after I got my career on track, after marriage, after the kids were grown. But the truth is, we just keep going day after day, doing stuff, waiting for life to finally begin.
It’s a strange way to think, but it’s not our fault. We’ve been conditioned to believe that life is a series of checkpoints — and only after we pass them do we get to live fully.
Roger Waters of Pink Floyd described this same feeling in an interview. And if you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “Ten years have got behind me,” you’re not alone.
I’m also reminded of Earl Nightingale’s speech, “The Strangest Secret.” He said the opposite of courage isn’t cowardice — it’s conformity. Most people go through life doing what everyone else does. They get jobs, they get by. But deep down, I believe many would rather be doing something else.
And that’s the real question:
What would we rather be doing?
That’s the key to this whole project. It’s not just about productivity or organization. It’s about rediscovering what we want to be when we grow up — no matter how old we are.
Steady Bunny is my way of exploring that. Objectively. Scientifically. Philosophically. Practically.
I want to gather ideas, test them, and share what works. I want to help people — myself included — stop waiting and start creating a life worth living.
