How will our attitude today impact our desire to not wait for tomorrow to suck the marrow out of life?

The privilege to see another day is astonishingly undervalued.

The value of a single day?

Ask someone who is counting theirs.

Note to self: wishing and waiting is a flawed proposition.

Midlife Renaissance is a moment of truth inflicted with discrimination

Midlife apathy looks like this cat

Nearly all Baby Boomers want to change but don’t want it badly enough. They are way too comfortable.

Midlife renaissance is a moment of truth. A literal once in a lifetime opportunity to climb out of our deeply ingrained, unintentional midlife rut.

Humanity is oblivious.

And we discriminate against this once-in-a-lifetime invitation to change our attitude.

Why?

Excuses. Comfort. Fear. Doubt.

Seriously?

Everyday people openly share their reality as they go about their day to day. They talk about feeling this, struggling with this, and wanting to overcome it.

But only one in 100 buys this book.

The best keynote speakers are full of drive and determination

Orlando Keynote Speakers

 

(photo: Overachievers are everywhere. Drive and determination are key weapons in the fight against mediocrity. Photo from yesterday in the gym parking lot.)

The herd is massive and includes almost all of us.

The movement is small, scattered, and often confused.

The herd is mediocrity.

The movement is drive and determination.

To live like you mean it.

To slay excuses and regrets. For good.

We are in charge of this. Period.

Not much changes in the human psyche. Why aren’t all our days extraordinary?

The vibe around homecoming is several levels higher than the karma around other fall weekends.

Why?

We all know why.

The bigger question is why do we not treat each weekend as this special?

Then convert this thinking to our daily living.

Asking why and why not is transformational.

Why are some days extraordinary?

Why are’t all our days extraordinary?

But it requires time.

Yeah, there’s always a catch.
