Is finding a creative, unique way to find joy an art form?

(note: little longer than normal post)

Our struggles are our friends, even if they do not seem so. As you read the struggle here, contemplate your own, and what will it take to inspire you to keep moving forward.

Struggling with writing 100 days ahead. Why? Because it’s weird. And yet at the same time, it feels like art.

Art is doing something differently than tradition. Or it can be doing tradition differently.

Perhaps you even do something remarkably.

In a way that others remark.

Compliments?

Complaints?

Doesn’t matter.

When things are done the way they have always been done, there is no conversation.

Today is the first day of Autumn and it’s the third day of the new year.

Does it even matter?

A resounding no – for almost everyone – for the herd.

Art?

To some, possibly.

What is our art?

It might be the way we live our life or the way we help others.

Five years is a long time to lay the foundation for anything

Child playing with box instead of toy inside — Remember back in the day when the box was the highlight?

Five years is a long time to lay the foundation for anything. A life. A business. A promotion. Anything really.

Have a professional career working for one of the most admired companies in the world, standing in front of people and inspiring them to see transformation as a possibility, not as some lofty thing that will never happen.

Writing two hours a day for five years will transformed anyone into a humble servant.

You can not be untouched from daily writing.

Excuses, regrets, opportunity, and permission.

Mid Life Celebration ISNB # — Five powerful chapters covering excuses, regret, opportunity and permission

The only way I know to stay motivated all the time is to stay motivated all the time.

Talking is easy. Doing is difficult – maybe impossible we tell ourselves.

There is a new book on Amazon that calmly and quietly suggests we never again tell ourselves these lies.

Do what you say you are going to do. Otherwise we are left with excuses and regret.

There is a second opportunity that most, if not all, of us wait our entire lives for – permission.

The second opportunity is Mid Life Celebration.

What do you indulge in these days?

ATT home screen during iPhone5s release — There was a short online wait at 3:01AM EST this morning

What do you indulge in these days? By midlife, we have earned certain discretions for a variety of unique reasons. Even though the route home passes by one of Apple’s flagship stores on the way from the airport today, couldn’t resist indulging in waking up in the middle of the night to be among the first to order the iPhone 5s.
