Dude, are you serious?

Guys, really, I’m serious this time.

 

After two years of sitting on the finished book, the past few days have been spent joyfully editing and adding to it.

There’s merit in not quitting, no?

Why do we quit? What do we hope to avoid?

Why do we keep going? What do we hope to gain?

Lessons cease when we cease, no sooner

A great lesson is from writing a book, versus reading them (these are not my books btw)

 

Lessons cease when we cease, no sooner. Perhaps the greatest lesson?

Knowing that life is lived one day at a time, no matter what happened yesterday, or what will happen tomorrow.

Past accomplishments and future hopes do not guarantee anything today.

That’s our job. To guarantee our day, today, is remarkable.

It’s called personal leadership.

It starts with attitude.

And expectations.

Signing a book publishing contract is cool and weird simultaneously

What just happened, and what will happen next?

 

Signing a book publishing contract is cool and weird simultaneously.

Cool because it’s signed – this is a big deal if it’s never been done before.

Weird because reality smacks you in the face when all along you thought you were friends.

Reality begs, “What do you want people to feel when they finish reading?”:

Something so unexpected, so inexplicable that we are in awe of what just happened

Similar to a wakeup call, but less severe.

And friendlier.

PS. And that they are willing, even eager, to hear more in the next book.

The worst thing that’s happened is this

Life is an art form that thrives on reinvention

 

The worst thing that’s happened is this…

The worst thing that has happened is the best thing that has happened.

Our midlife crisis wake up call brings us to our knees – the worst thing to ever happen to us.

Our midlife crisis response contains the best thing that has ever happened to us.

But how does one respond to the worst thing ever?

Accepting personal responsibility is the start.

In all five of life’s big choices.
