You are an April Fool

Sam Walton quote
Serendipitous quote yesterday from LinkedIn. No individual writes 5 daily, differently-themed blog posts every day of the year, year after year. But since April Fools Day 2009, that changed.

 

Fool, stay different, it’s the only way to keep your freedom. And the only way to avoid fitting into someone else’s standards.

.think .differently

Easy as heck to think about. Hard as heck to live out every day.

It remains difficult until the point where it no longer becomes difficult.

Today is year nine’s first post.

Post number 14,611.

Day number 2,923.

From, “Never in a million years” to “i can’t start a day without it.”

What happens when you reach the finish line?

Windermere Town Hall
The starting line and finish line are 30 steps from this doorway, and also the same line for both.

 

What happens when you reach the finish line?

You automatically reach another starting line.

This post concludes the 8th consecutive year writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts (on 5 separate sites), without missing a single day.

Tomorrow, the starting line for year nine.

Why blog prolifically?

Why blog prolifically?

The palest ink is better than the best memory. – Chinese Proverb

Over time, the trail of posts reveals the best memory.

Life is hard.

When our son reaches this conclusion, may he find solace in getting daily glimpses into how a life can be redesigned.

And secondly, it is no longer possible for me to begin a single day without the amplified gratitude that comes from two hours of daily self-reflection.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Mystery blog, where art thou

Wrote five daily blogs yesterday, including this one. However, now, a day later, the post is gone. Not even the automated “save” feature on WordPress kept a copy.

Hard to believe, but i don’t recall what i wrote.

So, i’m moving on with my morning to write the five new posts that will be available tomorrow, August 13.

Good morning mind blowing thought

The Lakeland Center
Five in the foreground, two in the center. Five blogs a day for the two most important people in my life.

 

That feeling when you wake up and realize you are one month away from something that blows your mind.

And you realize that what you began seven years prior has lasted.

And it lasted because, well, you have no idea why.

Except maybe because you had had enough negative self-talk and decided to burn the ships.

PS. No one is immune from negative self-talk, not even the most positive people you know.
