Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Mid Life Observations?
Yes.
“You can observe a lot by watching”. — Yogi Berra
Profoundly simple and simply profound, are the keys to success in life, particularly at mid life.
Today, I’m going to try to not be so busy that I can’t appreciate the little things. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
.
Hatred at Mid Life?
“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not”. — Andre Gide
I believe this mid life quote to be true, but struggle sometimes to make it real.
Why?
Because it takes courage. Having courage can make you unpopular and lonely.
Who wants that at mid life?
Yet courage, really, is one of the few things in mid-life that makes us whole.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Anger at Mid Life?
Probably.
There’s a lot we have to be angry about at mid life.
Yet, may I humbly submit this midlife quote for your consideration?
“Anyone who angers you, conquers you”. — Sister Kenny
Sometimes, it takes every fiber in my body and soul not to get angry. And like other lessons I’ve learned through 50 years of life, staying focused and disciplined is always better and more productive than not.
Good luck. Stay with it. Don’t give up. Forgive yourself and keep trying.
There’s a Chinese proverb that says something to this effect:
“Fall down seven times, get up eight”.
Make it a GREAT day. Carpe diem. jeff noel 🙂
Mid Life Business Blogging and Social Media?
Social Media is so exciting to me.
Why?
Because of it’s limitless potential.
Here’s an article, Five Social Media Rules of Engagement , with a few common sense, social media guidelines. There are plenty of other social media and social networking articles at this site www.ploked.com .
I’m going to add a PAGE in the right column for links to other social media and social marketing articles I find.
I already have a list started on another blog PAGE, entitled Better Business Blogging 101 .
While originally targeted to Baby Boomers and Gen X-ers, it’s usefulness and relevance may work for many others.
There’s never been a better time to be going through a mid-life crisis or mid life celebration than 2009.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Hey Mid-Lifer’s, Check Your User Name is a website that can help you see where you sit in the digital marketplace.
Using LinkedIn has been a great eye-opener to what various businesses and professionals are doing to leverage the Internet and Social Marketing, SEO, and Social Media.
I’m a Mid-Life magnet for great insights, best practices, and results.
If you where ever to think of yourself as a magnet, what would you attract?
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
