Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Mid Life Dog Days?
“You may drive a dog off the King’s chair, and it will climb into the preacher’s pulpit; he views the world unmoved, unembarrassed, unabashed”. — Jean De La Bruyere
With Summer nearly here, and a mid life crisis happening right now, or sometime soon, wouldn’t it be nice to have the audacity of a dog?
Carpe diem my audacious mid life companions. jeff noel 🙂
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 🙂
Got Mid Life soul?
These people got soul, even if they’re not in mid life, we can GET inspired, to BE inspired.
Are you inspired?
I am. Visit Lane 8 to see why.
Here’s the You Tube Nike Commercial…..
.
Mental wellness. Physical wellness. Spiritual wellness. Financial wellness.
All of it.
It’s our responsibility to do the best we can. And at mid life, most of us have the blessing of having people watching us. Watching whether or not we live up to our responsibility.
Like all the Nike ads challenge – just do it.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
PS. Did you notice the last runners legs and feet? If you didn’t, you should. It will remind many to quit complaining and just get on with doing something.
