Strong enough and brave enough to be different?
Authentic?
When?
Never?
Come on, seriously?

Attitude determines many things, including our priorities and courage
Testing for January 10… but it’s only October 2. The next 100 days should be incredibly exciting… When Apple’s new iOS, Yosemite, debuts soon, the Cloud may allow the bottom image to size the same as the one above.
The photo above was added the normal way from a MacBook. The photo below was added from the iPhone 6 Plus.
Purchased the iPhone 6 Plus yesterday to test the limits of mobile devices. This is on top of the iPhone 6 purchased two weeks ago.
Our attitude and courage to push our entrepreneurial spirit is nurtured, directed, and course-corrected by the person in charge of our life.
The way to get started is to quit taking and start doing. -Walt Disney
The photo below is much larger than the one above. The experiment worked. The photos are the same size on the iPhone 6. (just checked it, Jan 10, 2015)

Falling is living
(photo: Ninth grader’s tee-shirt two days ago… have asked Daniel several times for permission to photograph his tee-shirts… he may never know they show up on Mid Life Celebration’s blogs)
The ninth grader sees the future with endless possibilities. Just like Baby Boomers did when they were the same age.
The teen wore a tee-shirt (above) that implies making mistakes is part of life’s journey, our obligation.
Making mistakes is part of life. A huge part.
As important to learning how to thrive, as learning to walk.
Yet aging reduces that desire in many people.
Where is the wisdom in that?

It is so easy to back down from living in the now and pushing forward
(photo: Labor Day weekend 2014… a bunch of 55-years olds gathered at a Buddy’s North Carolina Mountain cabin… contemplating life, work, grandkids, retirement, etc)
It is so easy to back down from living in the now and pushing forward with our big (or simply enjoyable) dreams.
When the tough decisions have to be made to continue forward in the direction of something uncharted, we are tempted to wait.
If the decisions were easy, we wouldn’t need, or want, more time to decide.
And waiting becomes a (bad) habit.
Today is yesterday’s tomorrow.
Should we retire this year, at 55, and go full on with our retirement plans, or should we wait until 60 or 65?
See what I mean?
What would you do?
Retire in 2014 (55), 2021 (62) or 2024 (65)?
The longer you postpone retirement, the bigger the pension.
The sooner you launch your dream, the longer you get to work on it.
None of us had a definitive answer.

It might make you uncomfortable.
It might not.
It’s that audacious.
And potentially that good.
The book.
Can an author convince herself that the world, not just her community, needs to read it?
