Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Top Ten MIND questions you should have answers to:
1. What do I read?
2. What do I study?
3. How much time do I spend learning?
4. How much time do I spend teaching others?
5. How well do I know my priorities?
6. What do I watch on TV?
7. Who are my friends?
8. How do I stay focused on continuous learning?
9. What is my IQ?
10. What should I be learning that I’m not?
Knowing these will give you Peace. There is no short cut.
Midlife Crisis is a household name.
There are two Mid Life Celebration Guest bloggers who are not.
Up first, this Sunday, is Erika Liodice, from Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania.
Erika found Mid Life Celebration and invited me to be a Guest Blogger at her blog, Beyond The Gray.
Lorie Sheffer is also from Pennsylvania, and from my hometown of Spring Grove. Small World After All.
You’ll find their Midlife perspectives similar, but different.
Carpe diem!
“One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man”. — Elbert Hubbard
What does it take to be extraordinary?
Is it reasonable to expect to become extraordinary?
Is it even worth it to try to become extraordinary?
What would extraordinary people say to these questions?
What would Earth be like without extraordinary people?

Not quite yet. But, I’ve been thinking about it for a couple years.
What is retirement anyway?
What do people do for income?
What do they do for self-esteem?
Are we resigned to slowly decay?
Will we finally be able to do all the things we always wanted to do?
Will we be bored stiff or amazingly active?
Will we be an example or a warning, on how to live life?
The good news? I have formulated answers to these and, more importantly, have taken action. Have you?

“Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say let your affairs be as one, two, three and not a hundred or a thousand….. We are happy in proportion to the things we can do without”. — Henry David Thoreau
Sure looks good on paper.
I don’t know about you, but I have a lot on my plate:
These are the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. Each one has a subset of additional topics.
1. Servant, Disciple, Church, Prayer, Emmaus Brothers, Catechism, First Holy Communion, Lector, Children’s Liturgy of the Word, Cub Scouts, Networker, Volunteer, Innovator.
2. Servant, Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Uncle, Nephew, Cousin, Neighbor, Friend, Home Owner, Yard Man, Mechanic, Pet Owner, Chief Financial Officer, Investor, Small Business Owner, Writer, Professional Speaker, Student, Leader, Teacher, Historian, Networker, Innovator, Runner, Athlete, Comedian.
3. Servant, Leader, Follower, Team Member, Teacher, Professional Speaker, Idea Generator, Envelope Pusher, Ambassador, Spokes Person, Student, Trainer, Lead Generator, Historian, Writer, Helper, Friend, Colleague, Profit Driver, Innovator, Traveler, Listener, Planner, Comedian.
No wonder it’s so challenging for me to relax.
I’ll tell you what though, I would rather be aware of this and consciously and consistently work on simplification, than to be oblivious.
Plus, the harder I work, the luckier I get.
Carpe diem!
