May the writing never sound like advice

Disney keynote speakers
Yesterday, Easter Sunday, while volunteering to deliver “Food For Families”.

 

i never want my writing to sound like advice. It is intended to allow the reader to ask themselves whatever questions they’d like.

Note to self:

When talking and writing, remember to preface your messages with, “You don’t need to believe me on anything. If it intrigues you, try it out for yourself.”

i’m not recommending anyone do anything i’ve done.

All i’m saying is that i used to get certain results in my home life and work life and now those results are exponentially better.

If fear and doubt made us smarter

Frank Wells was the voice of reason if Michael Eisner had any fear or doubt.

 

If fear and doubt made us smarter, we’d become regular Einsteins, no?

Why so much fear?

Why so much doubt?

They serve us how?

And yet we remain close to them?

Shake my head.

Comfort Or Fuel For Our Mind?

Sugar is one of two things: colorful and fun, or, invisibly inserted as one of our food’s top ingredients (high fructose corn syrup).

 

This was initially a tough subject to write about. Glad i had the courage to address my issue.

Comfort or fuel for our mind?

Last night our son and i were talking about eliminating sugar from my life.

i said Americans grow up on sugar, making a lifetime habit challenging to kick.

And why shouldn’t we consume sugar, everyone else is doing it, so it can’t be all that bad.

Right?

If we saw sugar as fuel, and if it was great fuel, then consuming it makes sense.

But it’s not great fuel.

It’s a drug.

Sugar is the new smoking.

Everyone turns their head to the addiction and serious health consequences.

Shifting gears here…

Do you see your thoughts as fuel or as comfort?

Positive thoughts are fuel.

Pessimistic thoughts are addictive drugs – to comfort us when we believe life isn’t fair.

Panic serves no one

Day to day, humanity leans heavily on stress and distress.

We rarely lean on joy, confidence, and growth.

What if this was reversed?

Good news, you can.

What if we thought of excuses the same as this?

Please make sure you read the photo; in the middle of the sentence, pure gold…the promiscuous amount of choice…renders the consumer helpless.

So many excuses.

So little time.

So many excuses render us helpless.

Excuses need to be invalid or unacceptable. It’s like spilling something on a shirt or blouse and as soon as you can you want to put on a clean top or wash the soiled top. You refuse to walk around (unless you’re really drunk) with a glaring spill on your clothes.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
