American Idol Showdown

There's An American Idol Experience Here
There's An American Idol Experience Here

Love or hate it.  American Idol is down to the final two contestants. Both Crystal and Lee will become famous recording artists. Winning American Idol isn’t necessary for either, but the winner obviously will have endorsement opportunities that are harder to sell when you’re runner up.

Over the years we all become fans of a TV show or  two.  American Idol became a Family “event” years ago, after I became intrigued with Simon Cowell’s brutal honesty – which I found refreshingly inspirational.

This year, it’s still a Family event, minus my participation – too many other things clamoring for attention – until two nights ago.

And it was just last week, knowing that the season ends soon, I asked our son who he thought would win.  “Lee!”, he said.

What does today’s post have to do with midlife?

Everything. While the contestants do not get a second chance to “do over”, we do. It’s called midlife celebration – a once in a lifetime chance to:

  • Rethink
  • Reprioritize
  • Recommit

Do It Again

Some Things Are Hard To Explain
Some Things Are Hard To Explain

Today is a new day. Today is your day. If you’re not feeling overwhelmed, then consider yourself lucky, and rare.

In my line of work, I seem to see a lot more than most. Traveling. Speaking. Listening. Sensing.

It’s a brutal world out there.

Everyday is an opportunity to be a leader and face the daily grind head on. Because if we don’t pick this choice, what’s the alternative?

Walt Disney died 44 years ago. Do you think he’d blog if he were still alive?

“Somehow I can’t believe there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C’s. They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage and Constancy and the greatest of these is Confidence. When you believe a thing, believe it all the way, implicitly and unquestioningly” -Walt Disney

Baby Boomer DREAMS

Everything Starts With A Dream
Everything Starts With A Dream

Baby Boomers in particular, along with Generation X-ers, have an extraordinary opportunity to shape the future.

Do you have any idea what your responsibility is?

What makes these two diverse groups so unique is their combination of skills and attitudes:

  • Old enough to be wise
  • Young enough to be energized
  • Smart enough to be concerned
  • Thoughtful enough to care
  • Dedicated enough to be the change

Mid Life Celebration is dedicated to making the world a better place, by challenging the top 3% of male Baby Boomers to do something GREAT before they die.

And the indomitable will of any person, any age, any generation, to also help make the world a better place for future generations.
