Life is not a dress rehearsal, live like you mean it

Life is not a dress rehearsal, live like you mean it.

Will i squander 2017?

Did i squander 2016?

You?

If you have my first book and haven’t read it, it’s economically priced.

It’s also an economic read – takes either side of an hour to finish.

If you’ve read it, have you thought about what you could gain from reading it again?

If you don’t have a copy, here’s great news?

The $4.99 Kindle edition or the $10.99 paperback are easily accessible.

If it doesn’t cause you to .rethink .reprioritize and .recommit i’ll refund your purchase price.

Few books have as much potential to minimize or eliminate regrets*.

*Regrets are non-refundable.

Cooper RIP

Sanibel sunset — None of knew this would be Cooper’s last sunset; however, we were all together for his last sunset at our favorite spot.

Unless you’re emotionally attached to a sad event, it’s challenging to care about it. This post is asking for your empathy or your prayer. This post is asking that you think the same way about your own misfortunes.

When something ‘bad’ happens, particularly when it blindsides us, we are left in shock, and deeply hurting.

The antidote, at least from my 57 year perspective, is to cling to gratefulness as if our very life depends on it.

Find the reasons to be grateful, even as you cry uncontrollably.

There is literally no exception to “it could be worse”. It can always be worse. And often, it can always be much worse.

We all have shocking moments in life. July 14, 2014 was one of them.

The upside is that we were all together at our favorite place. It could have played out so much differently. i’m grateful that it didn’t.

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 winningest women’s college basketball coach died recently

Pine Island Southern tip — We visited Pine Island’s northern and southern tip (above) yesterday. Pine Island is Florida’s largest at 18 miles x 2 miles. It ends here. Everything eventually comes to an end. It was an hour drive from Sanibel.

The winningest women’s college basketball coach died recently.

Article snippet:

She was diagnosed with early onset dementia in 2011 at the age of 59. Summit decided to retire in 2012, taking the role of “head coach emeritus.”

Above average physical health means nothing.

This is so easy to forget.

So we do.

Each day i fight the battle that begins with, “Your crazy idea that you want to live like your 60th birthday is your end day is overreacting.”

Says who?

Overreacting is an easy finger to point.

Live like you mean it.

PS. In 1996 my Dad, 58 years old, was diagnosed with early onset, rapid-progression Alzheimer’s disease. My 57th birthday was a couple weeks ago.

Planning to watch my final Olympic Games this Summer

Planning to watch my final Olympic Games this Summer. (More on that as i approach my 57th birthday in 24 days)

Last week on the flights to and from Pennsylvania for client meetings, i read 11 chapters of “Finding The Next Steve Jobs”.

It’s a compelling and inspiring read from “the man who founded Atari and launched Steve Job’s career”.

Both author Nolan Bushnell and Steve Jobs are bona fide crazies, and creative geniuses.

Each of us has our own crazy.

How well we develop that is up to us.

i’m 210% committed.

How much time do we have?

Disney Cruise Line Flag — The photo and today’s blog topic seem mismatched. Kinda like the way we begin our day – thinking about death or thinking about life. Check the deaths or check the births?

How much time do we have?

A 93-year old just placed the newspaper back on the pile and i asked, “So what’s new since yesterday?”

She said, “I just skimmed it, I only read the deaths.”

Wow.

What a profound moment.

Begs the question, “Why was that the priority?”

For me, is it finally carving out time to write those (seven) Disney books i said i would write?
