Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Are you crazy enough to dream BIG? I mean “Change the World” BIG!
Mid Life Celebration’s vision is to inspire just three percent (3%) of the male Baby Boomers to do something GREAT before they die.
From mending a Family relationship before someone dies, to helping to find a cure for an incurable disease, or something in between.
With roughly half of the 80-million Baby Boomers being men, that’s a target market of 1.2 million.
And then we pray and bank on the ripple effect. Any idea why?
How often do we spend time taking a moment looking ahead?
Not talking about mid-morning, trying to decide where to go for lunch and with whom, even though that can qualify as an important decision.
Rather, looking ahead ten years.
What?
It’s hard isn’t it? That’s why we rarely, if ever, give it considerable thought.
Considerable thought.
Substantial thought.
The long and hard discussion with ourselves about our future.
It’s like reaching the top of Maslow’s pyramid.
I’ll be spending several precious days with a couple of 80-somethings. Wonder what we’ll talk about.
“We should all do what in the long run gives us joy, even if it is only picking grapes or sorting the laundry”. — E. B. White
Or being a High School Basketball Team Manager:
If you had your life to live over, what would you change?
Well, you can’t live it over so it’s time to make a choice. If you had a “second chance” starting today, what would you change?

“It is an old ironic habit of human beings to run faster when we have lost our way”. — Rollo May
I’m tempted to question myself. Why? Because many I talk with, think I’m crazy to believe that people will want to change if the right recipe comes along.
There is a secret recipe. Everyone knows it. But because we ignore it, it remains a secret.
The secret is, “work hard and find your purpose”.
Most people don’t want to do either. I certainly didn’t. Most of my life was, “Work hard, play hard”. That’s a catch phrase for, “Hurry up, we’re lost”.
Then I regained consciousness and started looking around. There’s much work to be done. The harvest is great, the workers are few.

Mid Life Fanatic. Why yes, yes I am.
Why wouldn’t anyone want to be a mid life fanatic? Actually, why wouldn’t anyone want to be fanatical about life? Period.
Fanatical. Defined as excessive enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is just another word for attitude. Attitude is up to you. No one else. Period.
We get one chance to have enthusiasm. It’s the time between our birth and our death.
Ya with me? Seriously. Are you with me? Carpe diem 🙂
