Attitude is shaped by three days.
Yesterday.

We love succeeding. Titles, pay, office location, parking spaces, etc… all these are external motivators.
We love it.
Peak performance feels great doesn’t it?
External motivation is what we are taught to use to perform at high levels.
But what happens when we have no external motivators? No deadlines, no campaign, no cheerleaders, no cause.
Then what?
Dangerous isn’t it?
Or maybe, deep down, the motivation is really the solace we get from doing work that matters to others.

You don’t hate it enough.
Hate smoking enough and you’ll quit.
Hate being overweight enough and you’ll quit being overweight.
Hate feeling alone enough and you’ll quit feeling alone.
Hate being in debt enough and you’ll get out of debt.
Hate relying on alcohol enough and you’ll quit drinking alcohol.
Hell yeah these are bold statements.
You know how it’s possible to absolutely know?
Will give you one guess.
No theory at Mid Life Celebration.
Ever.

And just for fun, why not begin on April Fools Day?
Perfect for such a foolish idea.

Special note to self (and maybe the most important one ever):
Rehearsal is over. No more practice.
Start living.
The only thing more contagious than enthusiasm is the lack of it.
Feed yourself first.
Be the fire!
