Amazon auto message for Mid Life Celebration delivery date

Two more days until Mid Life Celebration’s official announcement.

Two really weird things about the final week of this 34-year journey:

  1. The coolness of being completely done, well ahead of the Christmas goal.
  2. How insanely crazy it is on the back end to coordinate all the moving parts, and manage the pressure

Surreal. Knowing all this, and not telling a soul.

In the craziest of thoughts, it’s like a prisoner must feel just two days away from being set free, after a lifetime of living in captivity.

Surreal.

The way we live our life tells others everything.

We are unique, just like everyone else.

What would a person’s thoughts look, sound, and read like if the three most influential people in their life were:

  1. Walt Disney
  2. Jesus
  3. Steve Jobs

Three more days until the official announcement.

Surreal.

A short, pithy read on discovering the second most magnificent day in your life.

Mid Life Celebration the book, on Amazon
November 22, 2013… purchased a copy one week before public announcement

 

This book was written to inspire the reader, probably in midlife, to use their hard-hitting wakeup call(s) to finally, truly, change things moving forward.

To:  rethink • reprioritize • recommit

The new world order for midlife crisis is spending our life chasing our dreams and finally getting there, more or less. But in looking around, we think, “This isn’t what I wanted!”

This revelation (and profoundly simple solution) came about from a late blooming dad’s attempt to leave a trail for his young child in case something bad ever happened, leading to a radical new discovery for life balance.

When the author finally woke up and realized he was not going to live forever, he became inspired by his long list of excuses, regrets, second chances, and ultimately, his discovery of who grants each of us permission to change.

The overarching themes of this book are personal responsibility, balance, and second chances.

Readers will either curse the author because they are angry at his accusations that personal responsibility is the secret to joy or misery, or readers will stand up and cheer because they have been desperately waiting for a gentle, generous, direct, and much needed kick in the buttocks, and that kick has finally arrived.

Who is this author, jeff noel?

 

A series of devastaing midlife wakeup calls, guilt, and serendipity led to the realization that the author wasn’t going to live forever.

We all know what is self-evident, yet we live like we are completely unaware. Life is full of excuses and excuses lead to regret, regret leads to second chances, and second chances lead to opportunity.

But there’s a catch at this point. Second chances require someone’s permission.

Jeff Noel, 54, is an expert at all of these.

America’s unheralded work life balance expert, a servant, husband, dad, boomer, speaker, author, runner.

He believes work is only work if you’d rather be doing something else. Allergic to most pollens and mediocrity, he can’t wait for the alarm clock to go off every morning.

Since 1999, he has spoken to over one million people worldwide.

He lives behind Orlando’s most famous theme park and for the past 30 years has thrived in one of the world’s most admired companies.

Jeff enrolled in a 100-day writer’s boot camp on April Fool’s day 2009. The only requirement was to write five blog posts a day for 100 consecutive days. Not only did he miraculously accomplish the goal, he has yet to stop writing five daily, differently-themed blogs.

If you do the math, this is nearly five consecutive years and 9,000 posts (and counting).

Just between you and me, he suffers from writer’s flood.

Why?

Because he has an insatiable desire to help others think deeper, smile more, and feel grateful everyday, all day.
