Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
How often do you think about improving things? Considering that the road to excellence has no finish line, this ought to be all day, everyday.
My “work pedigree” insists every employee aim for perfection and settle for excellence.
“Dear Readers” was a brainstormed theme for writing these 5 blogs, but “Dear Son” & “Authenticity” won out instead.
You know that there’s more to this at the Next Blog
Some simple numbers to show the possibilities when giving up isn’t an option, and neither is dreaming small dreams.
Raising enough money to find a cure for an incurable disease.
Impossible is nothing.
Thank you for your visits. There are enormous plans for Mid Life Celebration. This is just the beginning. Together, we can and will help shape the world in a way that teaches young children personal responsibility, beginning in elementary schools.
Notice the date in this picture? It’s today, January 16, 2009. So?
OK, good morning world. How do you start your day? Same way every time, or each day different?
Is it a chore? Are you anxious or worried about all that will be expected of you?
Is it exciting? An adventure in which you get to help others by what you do?
Each morning begins the same for me. On my knees, three prayers. Kiss my wife and son as they sleep. Turn on all the computers. Head downstairs to make some coffee.
While coffee is brewing, head back upstairs to check emails on two computers.
Google alerts come in every day around a few key words.
The point is this, in case you haven’t figured this out yet: An idea virus (credit to Seth Godin) is something good that spreads because of the Internet.
It spreads much faster, and much farther, than without the Internet.
You get this right? It’s common sense but not common…..
PS. Never asked them to post this on the company’s Facebook page. They did it anyway. Seems it was a good idea that spread.
Simplicity is an elusive goal sometimes.
Ok, simplicity is elusive most of the time.
But so are a lot of things that are important. Should that stop us from our pursuit?
There is only one, resounding answer to this question.
And maybe by tomorrow I’ll have my movie soundtrack song(s) to share with the world. This was a fun, and frustrating, exercise.
And anything but simple.
Should have seen it coming.
A few days ago I posted a one-take-You Tube video while passing through the Columbia, South Carolina airport. Lexington Medical Center’s unbelievable track record of excellence caught my eye.
Well, they are even more amazing than we first thought. They’ve actually been rated number one for ten years, not eight.
They even have their own You Tube channel. So I checked it out. And may I suggest you think about doing the same?
Whether your You Tube videos are professionally done, whether you do them in one-take, or even if you’ve never shot a You Tube video, you can learn about excellence at any moment.

The road to excellence has no finish line.
Many people I know perceive mid life as a time that signals the beginning of the downhill side of life – the decline.
Rubbish. However, Henry Ford once said something to this effect, “If you think you can, or you think you cannot, you are right.”
What is there to be joyful about at midlife? Everything. Even the wellness challenges we all face. Pick one: mid life crisis or mid life celebration.
No brainer, eh?
