Make no mistake, the one thing art requires above all others

Santa's milk and cookies
We awoke yesterday to Christmas mysteries, like milk & cookies from the night before.

 

This morning as we start thinking about New Years, personally pulling for all of us to recognize the guts we all know we have, yet almost neglect to the point of starvation.

Will we change the rules we live by in 2014?

The rules that would help us be our true, authentic, amazing self?

Beyonce made up her own set of rules…caught people off guard, and flipping slayed status quo…

Are you an artist? Wait, not with paint or music…

Will we become the artist we are destined to release to the world?

Art is doing things differently. Or better. Sometimes both. And differently isn’t even necessarily ‘better’, it’s just different.

Art always involves guts. Make no mistake. Having guts is art.

Who knew?

Go.

In 2014, just go.

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Live like you mean it.

That, too, is art.

A year from now, we’ll wish we would have started this week.

We can work together to light up our courage to do all those things we promised ourselves long ago.

Peace and blessings.

Five years is a long time to lay the foundation for anything

Remember back in the day when the box was the highlight?

 

Five years is a long time to lay the foundation for anything. A life. A business. A promotion. Anything really.

Have a professional career working for one of the most admired companies in the world, standing in front of people and inspiring them to see transformation as a possibility, not as some lofty thing that will never happen.

Writing two hours a day for five years will transformed anyone into a humble servant.

You can not be untouched from daily writing.

Starting a small business is very risky too.

Dear Son, I’ve had small New Year’s resolutions. And monumental ones too. Everybody does. Yesterday’s post was a small resolution. Today’s post commemorates a huge effort to muster enough resolve to try to change the world. You know, like starting a business – to challenge 3% of the male Baby Boomers to do something great before they die. Happy 3rd anniversary Mid Life Celebration, LLC.

There’s A Time And A Place For Monumental, Life Changing New Year’s Resolutions

Please look closely at those two words...and then do it.

You’ve heard jeff noel talk about The Herd and The Movement. And you know he tells it like it is, candidly, openly, antagonistically honestly. There’s a time and a place for monumental, life changing goals. If you can not do the easy resolutions, you have no chance of succeeding at the big ones. So don’t overdo it this week. Stay small. Stay positive. Stay focused. And believe with all your heart that you deserve to win your small resolution.

jeff noel Offers 4 Creative Tips For New Year’s Resolutions That Will Not Fail

Bonus tip: Don't set any resolutions around losing or gaining weight, it's too hard this time of year.

Baby Boomer, jeff noel, shares 4 helpful tips for making our New Year’s resolutions stick:

  1. Think small (an “easier” resolution is not cheating).
  2. Not every goal has to be monumental.
  3. Don’t tell anyone what you’re going to do (keep it your secret).
  4. Get back up when you fall down – no one will know you’ve fallen.

Nothing fuels success like success. Make your goal ridiculously simple. One year I decided to set all the clocks we owned (13, including microwave and cars) to the same time. As an added level of difficulty (over-achiever), I made it the real time.
