What if there was less than a week left, then what?

Stephen Hawking quote about the Universe
Because there is a law such as love…

 

What if there was less than a week left (for something monumental), then what?

Dear Son, believe it or not, the past four days have been some of the most monumental days in our relationship.

How can so much happen in such a short time?

Why did it take so long or was it perfect timing?

Has this been the ultimate test of patience and payoff?

Spoiler alert: If you ever plan to publish a book, three lessons you will learn

Author jeff noel's best selling book, MidLife Celebration
Author’s first best selling book, Mid Life Celebration

 

Three reasons publishing a book elevates someone’s mind:

1. When someone says they are a writer, what they really mean is they are an author.

2. A book is a body of knowledge (of which the author is now an expert), either fiction or non-fiction.

3. An original body of work takes an attitude and mental capacity they never knew they had.

You will arrive at a place of understanding that changes you.

Changes. You.

Quit being afraid

Residential meets commercial street
The start of another fearful day and playing it safe?

 

Quit being afraid.

Let’s not spend too much precious time on what we are afraid of and why we are afraid.

Resist the overwhelming temptation to go down the path of figuring out what we are afraid of. Instead, become clear on what we will gain when we no longer lead our day with fear.

Being crystal clear on what we gain from destroying fear is profoundly more effective than being intimate with what we are afraid of.

What does it take to improve ourselves during midlife?

Book manuscript change order
130 pages, 12k+ words, three small changes…

 

What does it take to improve ourselves during midlife? And do we care? Are we motivated?

Funny how the smallest of changes can add up to make something good, better. A book manuscript. A life.

It works in the opposite direction too. Small things (even as small as not changing) can make something good, not so good.

Everything that comes our way is one of two things

Summer growth is unstoppable in the sub-tropics of Central Florida

 

Everything that comes our way is one of two things:

  • an opportunity for growth
  • an opportunity to stunt growth

It’s this simple and it’s this complex.

What would happen to us if our only response, with zero exceptions, was the first?

And who’s in control of trying this and/or maintaining it?
