Living like you mean it

Women's Olympic 400 Meter hurdles final — Women’s Olympic 400 Meter hurdles final – no American has ever won this event before.

Living like you mean it. Yeah, sure looks good on paper.

Woke up at 4:00am (75 minutes ago) feeling groggy. Tempted to hit snooze. i’m literally never tempted to hit snooze. Back in the day (Disney Resort Operations), i used to do it every morning – for 15 years.

Moving to Disney Institute in 1999, i no longer worked crazy shifts and started having regular sleep cycles. The snooze button became irrelevant because i focused on a regular bed time and an eight-hour a night sleep target.

Staying up until 10pm-ish to watch Olympic Track & Field finals and getting up to be at High School Cross Country practice by 5:50am has led to a short-term sleep disruption.

And i am reminded that my incentive for doing this is i am watching these Olympics as my last Olympics.

i may live long enough to watch the 2020 Olympics, but i am not planning on it.

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.

Nothing else will compel us to do whatever it takes

Boy on bike at dusk near Walt Disney World — Seriously, we would die for it? Absolutely.

Want to help make the world a better place? Be the person that offers something good to the world.

And if we want to help change the world, we must be willing to do something we would die for.

Nothing else will compel us to do whatever it takes.

Because it’s simply too easy to quit when it gets tough.

Dear readers, truth be told, we are all living a life we would die for

Boat called Jeff's Dream in Miami Beach boat dock — Boat called Jeff’s Dream… wonder what he does for a living.

Dear readers, truth be told, we are all living a life we would die for.

How?

Easy.

Why?

Auto pilot mostly.

Because we are all going to die.

The default mode is a slam dunk. Guaranteed.

No effort required and we are a sure thing.

And since death is inevitable, why not up the ante?

Live for something really worth dying for?

You know, something much bigger than spending our adult lives going through the motions.

Back to the notion that life is not a dress rehearsal.

Dear Readers, God’s Gentle Reminders Are Everywhere

Dear readers, jeff noel has a few clues on the urge to change his midlife writing focus. A good friend was diagnosed with cancer a month ago. This led to asking what happens to young children after a parent dies? How will the child(ren) know who their mom or dad was?

And noel thought, there’s a sufficient trail for his young son to understand life’s big choices, including thousands of photos and stories. So now noel begins writing in a different direction (still leaving a trail).

You Can Really Live When You…

People Have Always Been Willing To Die For Freedom

We catch ourselves sometimes, don’t we, just going through the motions. Auto-pilot. Dangerous, in my opinion.

After rereading yesterday’s post, it hit me. Did it hit you? That thought.

The thought that we can not be fully alive until we are prepared to die.

I know this is pretty deep for a Thursday morning thought, but think about. It could be your missing link.
