What does mental change sound like?

Mid Life Celebration blog
This grey header represented the grey matter of our brain (mind). i changed my mind about the look on December 7. Changed the header this morning, December 9, 2016.

 

Seth Godin's Titan book
This 17-pound “Titan” of a book ($170 sale price) arrived last night.

 

What does it sound like when you change your mind?

What is mental change?

Is it useful?

Is it worth defending?

Can it last?

Just ask Seth Godin.

Or me.

Seth’s Titan arrived last night.

The real name is:

What Does It Sound Like When You Change Your Mind?

It’s a (huge) collection of Seth’s blog posts.

Changing our mental attitude to be 100% positive and helpful sounds like…

Peace and contentment.

It also sounds like finally being certain.

i’m finally certain all 5 Mid Life Celebration blogs serve one purpose – a trail, a manifesto, a long love letter – to my son and wife.

Radical honesty, radical attitude

Yesterday morning preparing for Endoscopy. Forehead thermometer and constant at-a-glance verification.

 

Many medical tests (but not all) reveal the truth about a patient’s physical condition.

Send a camera scope down a person’s throat and you’ll see what’s really going on.

How do we evaluate our attitude with empirical evidence?

Radical honesty.

Simply look at the body of our life’s work.

What we do proves what we believe.

Will our hope fade or can we protect it?

Nursing home
Yesterday morning, writing the first of seven Disney Business books, bedside with my 91-year old father-in-law.

 

Embracing fear and failure puts you in charge of your plan starting today.

Is it possible to be intentional enough with our attitude so we can remain vibrant?

And can we nurture a balanced wellness approach to our life events even as we reach our final years?

Please fail more often

famous start up garages
From LinkedIn. For every story like these, there are thousands that never made it.

 

Dear son, please fail more often.

Fear and risk are inseparable.

Risk and failure are inseparable.

Failure and growth are inseparable.

To grow, fail.

Son, remember, i want you to do as much of this as possible before you leave home to start your own life.
