Before he could say anything, the other already knew

After days of facilitating transformational insights, we had a final dinner together at the Mexican restaurant below. While snapping a few pictures of the colorful decor, the other was getting caught up on work emails.

How many once-in-a-lifetime moments do we get?

The boss found out first a couple weeks ago. Then two days ago the colleague he respects immeasurably found out (second) via phone call. Yesterday everyone found out via an (earlier than expected) official email invitation from the boss.

The third person to find out was a client who would wonder why he never said anything all week. To nip that in the bud, he told her last night after the program, and asked her not to tell his colleague because he would do that himself at dinner.

Before the menus were opened, the colleague starts reading aloud the announcement from his work phone email.

It was a moment.

Oh well.

He understood after the explanation.

The next level of mid life celebration officially begins.

Great things never begin with the bliss of certainty.

Blogging here is going to become more interesting in the coming days, weeks, and months.

Why?

Because today marks the official call to begin the official process.

Incredible what attitude contributes to making dreams come true.

Incredible, also, how fragile attitude can be when fear raises it’s ugly head and says, “This might not work. Be careful.”

Attitude determines many things, including our priorities and courage

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

 

Testing for January 10… but it’s only October 2. The next 100 days should be incredibly exciting… When Apple’s new iOS, Yosemite, debuts soon, the Cloud may allow the bottom image to size the same as the one above.

The photo above was added the normal way from a MacBook. The photo below was added from the iPhone 6 Plus.

Purchased the iPhone 6 Plus yesterday to test the limits of mobile devices. This is on top of the iPhone 6 purchased two weeks ago.

Our attitude and courage to push our entrepreneurial spirit is nurtured, directed, and course-corrected by the person in charge of our life.

The way to get started is to quit taking and start doing. -Walt Disney

The photo below is much larger than the one above. The experiment worked. The photos are the same size on the iPhone 6. (just checked it, Jan 10, 2015)

What is the coolest thing we can do to be true to ourselves?

Disney's Soarin'
Some planes people remain grounded an entire lifetime

 

What is the coolest thing we can do to be true to ourselves?

An uncommon question and unlikely we have a ready answer. But what if we did?

Why are so few of us are able to pull ourselves out of our deeply worn ruts. Ruts that began long ago as ‘finding our groove’.

Do only the luckiest of mid-lifers have role models who encourage them?

Do only the luckiest have role models who have blazed a trail as a decent example?

The rest of us, well, do we still have time to become a trail blazer?

Do we even think it’s worth it at this stage in life?

The anniversary of the most magnificent day in our life

 

How did we spend yesterday?

How often do we take inventory of the day before?

Yesterday, the 55th anniversary of that first breath… spent the day doing the normal things.

Simple things.

Routine things.

Joy-filled things.

Life-giving things.

Since (becoming a dad in) 2000 (age 41), just cannot fathom the idea of having to wait for a holiday, anniversary, milestone, etc to celebrate a single day.

Among other things, finished watching the two-hour Apple 2014 WWDC video.

The first three minutes are not available yet on You Tube, hence the 2013 version above.

Live like you mean it.

Today.

Or we could wait until tomorrow.

Your move.
