There’s no way in heck you’ll make it 100 days

wdw today
Yesterday in Epcot’s parking lot. Love how social media technology is part of everyday life at Walt Disney World. Social Media was just a dream when i began blogging in 2008.

 

April Fools Day 2009 was 3,287 days ago.

No one cares.

i get it.

But it inspires the heck out of me.

And…

Back then, the notion of writing five daily blogs for 100 consecutive days was beyond impossible.

And yet…

And yet i believe if your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Because of that belief, i thought there was a remote possibility i could do 100 days (and 500 posts).

But to think i could go nine consecutive years (3,287 days) without missing a single day is absurd.

Absurd.

i want you to write for 3,000 consecutive days

Disney University
Every. Single. Day.

 

Today, June 17, 2017 marks the 3,000th consecutive day.

On April Fools Day 2009, the 100-day challenge to write five daily, differently-themed blog posts for 100 consecutive days was an “impossible” goal.

Today is also Day 282 of a 365-day epic writing commitment:

Write seven Disney Business books in a single year.

It’s been challenging to do both.

As the finish line (Sept 9) looms for the Disney business books, i’m ever closer to pausing the daily blogging.

One month ago i felt fairly certain that today would be the final Summer blogging day.

So torn.

Blogging occupies two hours of every day.

The Disney book writing would require at least two hours every day.

Fingers crossed i do what i need to do tomorrow.

150 days ago today

What’s your attitude regarding impossible?

What’s your attitude regarding doing seemingly insignificant work year after year?

Just realized 150 days ago the 14,000th Mid Life Celebration, LLC post went live.

Such a small, meaningless event in world history.

Such a brilliant testament to slow and steady, the journey of a thousand miles begins wth a single step, and a year from now you’ll wish you had begun today.

Rock on with your slow and steady self.

You are an April Fool

Sam Walton quote
Serendipitous quote yesterday from LinkedIn. No individual writes 5 daily, differently-themed blog posts every day of the year, year after year. But since April Fools Day 2009, that changed.

 

Fool, stay different, it’s the only way to keep your freedom. And the only way to avoid fitting into someone else’s standards.

.think .differently

Easy as heck to think about. Hard as heck to live out every day.

It remains difficult until the point where it no longer becomes difficult.

Today is year nine’s first post.

Post number 14,611.

Day number 2,923.

From, “Never in a million years” to “i can’t start a day without it.”

What happens when you reach the finish line?

The starting line and finish line are 30 steps from this doorway, and also the same line for both.

 

What happens when you reach the finish line?

You automatically reach another starting line.

This post concludes the 8th consecutive year writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts (on 5 separate sites), without missing a single day.

Tomorrow, the starting line for year nine.
