Dare squared?

Having a dream and replaced Seth with jeff…the following review was written in 2007 for Seth Godin’s book, ‘The Dip’.

The one possible weakness of this otherwise terrific little volume is that it is aimed solely at people who are creative, intelligent and want to succeed. Those who are mediocre, unmotivated or just coasting through life will probably not get much from jeff. He is not an elitist, but his message is squarely aimed at those who want to succeed or at least achieve excellence.

Dare to dream.

Dare even greater… to do.

Who wouldn’t want a message to deliver this?

personal thank you note to author
It was life changing…

 

“Gentle, generous, direct, and compellingly hopeful.”

The night clerk (early 20’s) at the hotel in February read MLC. She left this note a few days ago.

More and more convinced at this relatively unknown book’s power to challenge any reader, any age. To revive anyone’s hope that they matter and they can matter for others.

It’s a book bathed in love. It’s gentle, generous, direct, and compellingly hopeful.

Maybe we could all use to write a manifesto on why we aren’t anymore

Inspiring quote
Not sure who said it… but it’s brilliant.

 

Maybe we could all use to read a book entitled something like this:

How to live like a kid again

Maybe we could all use to write a manifesto on why we aren’t anymore.

Is something magical happening happening in your life?.

On the cusp of a breakthrough in living like you mean it?

What if.

What happens when we least expect it versus expecting it yesterday?

Amazon book royalties check

Unmet expectations cause all sorts of challenges. Some of them motivating enough to change everything. Some of our unmet expectations help us realize we can never change certain things  – but we can rethink our expectations and let that thing go.

This is called freedom.

Peace.

Sixth months after publishing Mid Life Celebration on Thanksgiving Day 2013, a modest royalty check arrived a few days ago.

Had wondered (for a long time) when it would arrive, but wasn’t expecting anything.

Especially wasn’t expecting the magnitude of the reality while depositing the first royalty check.

Dreams coming true are often very different when they actually happen.

Have you had some unmet expectation bless or curse you this year?
