Happy Earth Day 2018 and Happy 20th anniversary for DAK

 

If today’s Earth Day was your last, would you live the next 24 hours differently?

No.

i’d simply do the same thing i’ve been doing the past nine years…

Living like i mean it.

The final five posts i wrote would have my new contact information.

Death is often the tipping point for a life crisis

hippie sign
From lunch yesterday. And not only hippies but the crazy ones, the outliers, the misfits – you know, the ones who openly and enthusiastically talk about death.

 

Death is often the tipping point for a life crisis.

Why?

My theory is too much goes unspoken while we’re alive.

Knowing i’ll be dead soon helps me make the big decisions

Picking up where we left off yesterday…

 

 

Knowing i’ll be dead soon helps me make the big decisions in life – Steve Jobs

Ditto. – me

 

Our attitude toward death creates our attitude toward life.

Think about that for a minute and ask, “Am i afraid of death? Am i prepared to die? Am i living, right now and all day, like i mean it?”

Wow, what am i doing here?

 

 

Wow, what am i doing here?

In 30 days, year nine concludes and year 10 begins.

Who takes a dreaded cultural phenomenon – Midlife Crisis – and turns it into joy, discovery, opportunity, and purpose?

Mid Life Celebration was a crazy idea i had while teaching the four-day Disney’s Approach to People Management somewhere near the turn of the century.

Bob Spina and i were co-facilitating how the language (specific, carefully chosen words) organizations use determines behavioral outcomes.

Note, the lack of intentionally choosing specific words also determines behavioral outcomes – and the outcomes are not crafted, they are by default, random and unintentional, possibly even detrimental.

Also in this discussion were symbols, values, heritage and traditions, as well as traits and behaviors.

And in the moment, as i was searching for a new way to say the same thing, i told the audience, “Do you have a problem or an opportunity, a problem or a challenge, a midlife crisis or a midlife celebration.”

From a tiny acorn, a mighty Oak does grow.

The doctor says my time on Earth is limited

inspiring messages
The messenger today is a cardboard tissue box.

 

The doctor says my time on Earth is limited.

Truth be told, so is yours.

We don’t need a doctor to tell us.

We should be telling ourselves this.

But.

But it’s scary news.

Sure.

But.

But it’s not untrue.

Use this reality to inspire you to live like you mean it.

That’s what i’ve been doing for the past 8.5 years.

Go.
