Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
When you take risks to do the right things for the right reasons, no one can question your integrity…
Do you find taking risks risky? What about playing it safe? Risky too, eh?
Offering a ghost writer 49% interest in a mega best-selling book is pretty much unheard of. But I liked it for two reasons:
All of this looks good in a dream and with a hand shake.

Yesterday’s Mid Life Celebration post had a simple, key, repeatable message.
Mavericks take uncommon action, not to stand out, but to achieve more.
There’s more to life than titles, money, and not getting left behind, blah, blah, blah…

It’s so easy to miss the constant change that happens right before our eyes…
Lorie Sheffer has been a featured, weekly blogger at Mid Life Celebration and has her own page of posts. Here’s Lorie’s latest, “Taking Care”:
“If you took as good care of yourself as you do the rest of your family, you wouldn’t be here and we wouldn’t be having this conversation.”
My doctor said that to me a few years ago. He told me that I was not the first person he had ever said it to. In fact, it is a line he repeats almost daily.
Why do we treat our loved ones better than we treat ourselves? Looking back, I think of the times I would make my grandson’s lunch, taking care to include some raw veggies and fruit slices. Then he would lie down for a half hour nap while I ate the crust he left from his sandwich, multitasking laundry, dishes and wiping sticky fingerprints from the walls. Or those summer days when everyone was having fun swimming in the pool I had just spent all morning cleaning, while I was inside preparing a meal for them to enjoy. I don’t think that I am alone in this, either. At least according to my doctor I’m not.
It is not selfish to say “no.” It does not mean you are negligent if you make someone help him or herself while you take a few minutes for you. One of my very favorite friends, who has obviously learned to take care of herself, said it best this past Christmas. She told me that her husband had said he sure would love to have some fresh baked Christmas cookies. She handed him a cookbook and went out to get a pedicure.

When a person is sufficiently motivated, discipline will take care of itself. – Sir Alexander Paterson
Many readers wish I told them what and how to do things – you know, the secret formula.
From my experience, you will find your secret formula when you are sufficiently motivated. Not before.

Do you encourage yourself to take risks, to try new things? How do you measure whether the effort, and the risk, is worth it?
Daily visits to Mid Life Celebration compared to Lane 8, have me thinking there’s a disconnect in the blog navigation process. Many people simply don’t know the secret…
Very often, people, in their busy lives, miss a small detail, like at the end of each blog post, there are two words. If you click on the 2nd bolded word, hyper-link, you quickly go to Lane 8.
