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.

The plight of the stubborn visionary

Steve Jobs unveiling the iPhone — Steve Jobs was a zealot and a narcissist. Does the world forgive him for those qualities?

The plight of the stubborn visionary.

There are few others with the (supportive) karma to encourage you to stay the course past the point where you have made significant progress.

This is a huge threshold to cross, but it’s still not enough to prove you are right.

So…

This is the point where the name callers – zealot, crazy, misfit, fool, narcissist, idiot – start looking and sounding like the Sirens call from Greek mythology.

The name callers want you to fall prey to their predictions.

At this point, more than any other in your journey, you cannot back down – even as the psychological pain begins to suffocate you.

How important is risk taking to you?

Pinocchio statue at Cinderella Castle — “I can not tell a lie”

On a 1-10 scale where 10 is high, 1 is low…

How important is risk taking to you?

(pausing while you do your math)

Got your answer?

Ok…

Because you deserve it, i’m taking a public risk (for your benefit)…

Even with the obvious human temptation to dismiss this…

It will take two minutes.

Don’t have two minutes?

Good luck with the rest of the day.

If you’ll consider reading all five – one each for mind, body, spirit, work, and home – you’ll risk .thinking .differently

You can thank me later.

That last sentence was a risk too.

Live like you mean it.

PS. What prompted this was the spirited nature of today’s posts.

An example of answering the call to do something great

The fundamental challenge from Mid Life Celebration to the world is simply this:

Do Something Great.

Mend an important relationship before its too late. Help raise money to find a cure for something incurable, or something in between.

Is there a deadline?

Yes.

Death.

Should we try it if the benefits could be staggering?

(photo: Six months is a long time. Imagine an entire year.)

You know the coolest thing about an intensely positive attitude?

You are ok doing the craziest experiments that:

No one else is even thinking of doing.
No one else would even dream of succeeding at it.

Twelve more days to complete one year of not using I, Me, my, or mine.

Not in:

Five blogs a day. And yes, that’s 1,865 posts.
Not in emails for Disney.
Not in emails for MLC.
Not in personal emails.
Not in a single social media update, reply, comment. Not one. For a year.

To be honest, it’s insane.

But some unexpected Magic happened.

Have you ever tried it? For a day? A week? Longer?

See how crazy it is.

The benefits are staggering.

First up was learning an invisible (unknown) definition of humility.
