Blogging – Page 5 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

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.

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.

40 days and 40 nights equals seven years

Does 40 days and 40 nights equal seven years?

It does.

In exactly 40 days, we arrival at April Fools Day.

And on that day seven years ago, i began what literally seemed impossible.

For 100 consecutive days, write five daily, differently-themed blog posts about life’s five big choices: mind, body, spirit, money, and hq.

We:

No one i know writes five daily, differently-themed blogs. Does this make me a great leader?

No.

Does it mean i initiated a serious change?

Yes.

Does writing five a day for seven years make me a leader?

No.

Does it mean i initiated serious change?

Yes.

Insight: Be careful in judging your efforts and your initiative based on someone else’s standards. Follow the trail or make a trail.

Only four days from beginning the eighth year

iPhone calculator screen shot — Come April 1, 2016, this is how many blog posts i’ve written in seven years.

Ever do something that was impossible at first, miraculously accomplish it, but then it grew into something even more impossible?

Only four days until the beginning of the eighth year.

Seven years (2,557 days, including two leap years) of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts equals 12,785 posts.

There are also 100 days worth of (500) posts that are written and in the que to publish. Yes, i suffer from writer’s flood. Some days, writing only five posts isn’t enough.

So in reality, i’ve written 13,285 posts.

Sick.

Impossible.

No end in sight.

About every three years i’m tempted to skip a day of blogging

Looking out Jet window at dusk — The good news? It was a 10-mile drive to work from home. Beats an all day air-travel day.

About every three years i’m tempted to skip a day of blogging. Today was one of those days. While it’s only 8:30pm (yes, pm), i’m running on fumes.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good tired.

Yet, i’d love to close my eyes, right now, until morning.
