Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Decide what you want to be mentally.
Holding on to tradition – and what your environment as you grew up has dealt you – may be perceived as strength.
Letting go of the herd mentality (tradition) may be strength.

It’s fascinating, to me, how easy it is to follow the herd mentality – to accept a predestined path of settling.
We settle for the tried and true path of the Herd Mentality; which settles for surviving versus thriving, because society overwhelmingly believes balance is impossible.
So we medicate, entertain, and distract ourselves.
Thriving is best left to the lucky ones.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
Conform or face the consequences. You know, stay on the trails. Don’t go on this tempting path because you are not authorized.
What would happen if you authorized yourself to do anything you wanted to try? The caveat being it can’t be immoral, unsafe, or hateful.
What would happen to you?
Maybe you’d change in the way you dream of.
You’re still dreaming, right?

The movement is drive and determination.
To live like you mean it.
To slay excuses and regrets. For good.
We are in charge of this. Period.

Everyone is afraid. Not everyone lets fear become an excuse.
A thought from Troy Tyler:
“Strategy is all about commitment,” says Tyler. “If what you’re doing isn’t irrevocable, then you don’t have a strategy — because anyone can do it. That’s why burning the boats is so important. I’ve always wanted to treat life like I was an invading army and there was no turning back.”
Boldness has genius.

PS. What are the odds that tucked at the far edge of a hotel parking lot at Walt Disney World there’d be Cortes’ trailer?
