Thirty-one days from a most unusual case of ‘I promise to’

Hoop dee foo stage show players — Time to start making some noise?

What’s a really big, unfulfilled, promise you’ve made to yourself, others, or both?

If we don’t accept responsibility for our actions, we are forever chained to a position of defense.

We hear about starting small all the time. But do we? And why do we stop? And what would happen if we didn’t?

In 31 days the daily writing ritual of five differently themed blogs will reach an insane milestone – five years without missing a day.

Was it started to create bragging rights? No.

Was it begun because of a lost bet? Nope.

Did the author have something to prove? No.

~~Did~~ does the author have a dream? Totally.

Three groups of people (which group are we?)

t-shirt with the number 1000000000 — What if one-million Baby Boomers (of the 78 million) transformed from Mid Life Celebration?

Three groups of people (and we move through all three in our lifetime, yet have a general comfort zone):

optimists
pessimists
fence-sitters (waffle back and forth)

Mid Life Celebration is a book that will have the following fairly predictable outcomes:

optimists – will cheer, take action, and show gratitude
pessimists – will be defensive, angry, and bad mouth
fence sitters – will agree because the truths are self-evident, but won’t do anything

You know, a miracle could happen, and everyone, everywhere would find the message as the right catalyst at the right time.

We can dream can’t we?

The four significant obstacles to doing what we say we are going to do

Fellow midlife travelers, how exciting is it to accomplish what we set out to do, especially when:

it has taken forever
the odds were stacked against us
no one was cheering us on
and we worked almost exclusively alone for a monumental personal victory?

Xulon Press package of books — Exciting times – almost too nervous to open it.
