Who doesn’t desire to simply be a good and decent person?

 

Boomers have the opportunity to become something along the lines of ‘the greatest generation ever’.

Can’t wait to turn 55 next Sunday. Every gray hair, every wrinkle – earned by being fully alive.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. Live like you mean it.

Be well and remain amazed.

Do something great!

Before you die.

Boomers.

Nile never got to reach his full potential. Boomers may suffer the same fate.

Walking where Walt walked (onstage and backstage) inspires many people to up their game.

Taking risks is risky.

So is playing it safe.

Our clocks are ticking.

Moving forward with Mid Life Celebration, it seems reasonable to double check our comfort zone.

Consider where we are and do one or both of these:

1. Un-Like Mid Life Celebration’s Facebook page if you’re more comfortable with status quo and playing it safe. Sincere best wishes to you in your life. (Being part of The Herd is a very safe place to be)
2. Ask any of your friends who want to suck the marrow out of life to Like this page. (Seriously, this is the headwaters of a movement)

The Movement is to fully embrace living like we mean it.

Amazing things are possible for each and every one of us, if we have someone who can show us the way.

Mid Life Celebration is that someone.

For example, a year from now we’ll wish we had started today.

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

This is your life, your midlife celebration (go!)

Quote from AARP article
Do we need an expert to tell us or is it utterly intuitive?

 

Our life doesn’t fully come alive until we remove our fear of living. It’s not death that we fear, it’s living.

Think about it.

We actually know this to be true.

Yet pretend we don’t.

Things will never be the same until we are deeply compelled to rethink (everything), reprioritize (what’s important), and recommit (like a warrior).

No regrets for taking so long. Only joy in beginning. Again.

This is a game changer.

It’s our move.

“…if any of you start resting on your laurels, I mean just forget it, because…we are just getting started.” – Walt Disney

The toughest job we will ever love is the one where we are true to ourselves. Only then will magic happen. And yes, MLC is just getting started.
