Why Do You Come Here?

Check under the tree, or visit The Blog Whisperer blogs…

Have you noticed that there are people who offer advice, but you don’t really see them cooking it up for themselves? Or their advice is fairly lopsided on one particularly honed skill.

Like a really smart person who’s in dangerous health. Or a very rich, very empty person. Or a saintly person, with a dark side. Or a CEO, with unfulfilled childhood dreams.

I start each day on my knees, and ask for wisdom, guidance, humility, strength, and joy, so that I may, with the most amazing love, try to inspire you to seize today. It’s your gift. Unwrap it and press on.

Live It Up People!

Last week over Cedar Rapids, Iowa…

Heck yeah, I think you should read this blog every day. Ohhhh, yeah, riiiiiiiiight, you’re too busy to invest 10 seconds in a short, pithy, get focused moment.

Painstaking Excellence?

Painstaking excellence is an attitude, and a Brand differentiator…

Why do I make sacrifices with my personal time to write 5 daily blogs? Because, as Martin Luther King reminds us…

“All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance, and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence”.

Plus, there’s an incurable disease that’s too close for comfort…

Authenticity, Scene 1 of 5

Look closely, these planes, at 30k feet, are heading in opposite directions…from Thursday’s flight home…

Dear readers, had a revelation as readership grows, that I really don’t know most of you, and most of you really don’t know me.

Roughly 20,000 times Mid Life Celebration’s blogs have been bookmarked. That’s cool and also a bit freakish at the same time. That’s a lot of “strangers”.

I want to have a great attitude about this so here’s a little more…

But Here’s Why

Intuition Was Whispering, "Delete"
Intuition Was Whispering, "Delete"

So how was getting out of bed today? Any better than two days ago?

So, sure, I deleted that email, but here’s why. Every month, that Doctor sends a few emails, and they all sound the same, “Buy my stuff”. But when do these “salespeople” show us their authenticity? When do they show us they’re real, genuine – a person you would trust like a friend?

Um, let’s see, like never.

Sure, it would be easier to unsubscribe from his emails, but hey, when you’re really busy, it’s so much quicker to hit delete.

For an unknown reason on his latest email though, I actually read a good portion and it sounded good. But.

But the realization came that he has never painted an image of who he is in real life.

There has been no real life, in real time.

Is it wrong to want this? To expect it? To consider it a non-negotiable?

Does anyone else crave authenticity, or it just me?
