What If?

“What if 1.2 million (just 3%) male Baby Boomers did something uncommonly great before they died”?

And then their influence, in the process, inspired others to think about their own responsibility to leave the world better than they found it?

And it started to trickle over to women baby boomers, and then Gen X-ers and Gen-Y and then Millennials, and so on and so forth until it rippled all the way down to our young children in elementary schools.

That the seeds of mental, physical, spiritual and financial responsibility were planted by great examples, their teachers, parents, relatives, neighbors.

What if? Carpe diem!

MLC 30 Second Speech

Mid Life Celebration 30 second speech:

“I want to challenge the top 3% of the male Baby Boomers to do something great before they die.  As small as mending an important relationship, to helping raise money until a cure is found for an incurable disease”.

There, what was that, about 12 seconds?

Nearly eighty million Baby Boomers.  Half are men.  The top 3% of 40mil is 1.2 million.

These men, the elders, the movers and shakers, owe it to the world to leave it better than it is now.

They’ll have more discretionary income and certainly more discretionary time.

I challenge them to get off their butts and do something great.

Carpe diem!

Pay the Price

Paying the price.  Be careful what you wish for.

“What you have become is the price you paid to get what you used to want”. —   Mignon McLaughlin

I got to mid life and the best part, the part I didn’t anticipate, is all the questions I have.

Seriously.  A TON of questions.  This started at least a decade ago, probably closer to 15 years ago.

Not sure how long a mid-life crisis is supposed to last, but it sure has been a fun, and long, ride.

Also not sure I ever want to give it up.

That’s why I founded Mid Life Celebration, LLC.

Tomorrow, the infamous 30-second elevator speech.

Do you have yours?

Take A Mid Life Breadth

“There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life devoid of breadth”. — Martin Luther King, Jr

Ouch!

Ok, deep breath.  Exhale.

Deep breath, exhale.

Repeat until further notice.

Mid Life Saturday

Mid Life Saturday.  Finally, the weekend is here.

“Always do one less thing than you think you can do”. — Bernard Baruch

Brilliant!

Except for one thing. I’m human. Humans are perfect. Perfectly imperfect.

The odds of me scaling back are fairly slim. Not impossible, but stacked against me.

Why? Because of habits.

That’s the biggest mid-life challenge.  Redefining our mid life habits.

That’s why the tag line here at Mid Life Celebration is: Rethink. Reprioritize. Recommit.

I’m not talking about casual changes, or token changes, but about serious, life altering changes.

As Mid Life Celebration matures, I’ll be revealing more personal examples of how my life has changed.

As a prelude, you may find it surprising to know that I’ve overcome addiction, disability, and a host of other things people have no clue about.

That’s why I can preach about this stuff.  I’ve been to the gates of hell.  I gauran-dang-tee you, I hated it.

Is it getting hot in here or am I sweating?
