Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Art is simply caring more about what you do than the others who also do what you do.
Parenting, teaching, healing, farming, constructing, baking, volunteering, cleaning, driving, you name it.
The secret to caring more is having a clear, concise, and compelling reason that drives you.
Knowing what drives you is the secret to art being driven.

His colleagues from the past 30 years had a couple recurring themes in their stories and memories:
Last night was the final, official moment as a Disney Cast Member.
It kills him to leave. He IS Disney. He’s not running from something. He’s running to something, and has been for the past six years.
The other theme, shared over and over last night with his wife? Because of his intentionality he’s going to be incredible successful.

This afternoon is the traditional Walt Disney World retirement party for a 30-year Cast Member. Looking forward to seeing if balance is a central theme in how people recall their time together.
The complete lack of balance in our lives is suffocating. But like living in high altitudes, we gradually get used to the thin air.
And while the view is stunning, the living conditions are harsh.
All the things that make life easier and more fulfilling are down near sea level. Closer to a warm, breezy, sandy, sun-soaked, palm-tree lined beach.
Balance.
Fight back.
Get some.
Get it all.
Everything you deserve.
And remember to stay hydrated, stay in the shade or wear sunscreen.

Nearly all Baby Boomers want to change but don’t want it badly enough. They are way too comfortable.
Midlife renaissance is a moment of truth. A literal once in a lifetime opportunity to climb out of our deeply ingrained, unintentional midlife rut.
Humanity is oblivious.
And we discriminate against this once-in-a-lifetime invitation to change our attitude.
Why?
Excuses. Comfort. Fear. Doubt.
Seriously?
Everyday people openly share their reality as they go about their day to day. They talk about feeling this, struggling with this, and wanting to overcome it.
But only one in 100 buys this book.

The herd is massive and includes almost all of us.
The movement is small, scattered, and often confused.
The herd is mediocrity.
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.
