Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
“Whatever you do, if you do it sincerely, will eventually become a bridge to your wholeness, a good ship that carries you through the darkness”. — Carl Jung
There is a return on our investment for living a good and decent life.
One way to be decent is to respect those that work hard to make our Country free. I just posted a Memorial Day thought at www.junglejeff.net
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Mid Life Sunday. Ain’t it great to be alive. I know I said that yesterday, but how can I not say it again?
Seriously! It ought to be said every single day. And if you’re a mid-life Grandparent, how lucky are you?
If our son waits as long as we did to have children, we’ll be 84. No male on my Dad’s side has made it past 60.
I live everyday as a Parent, of course. And, what I decided after our son was born, was to also live everyday as a Grandparent.
Why?
Because I may never get the official privilege. Seriously. Ya with me?
Grandparents enter a stage in life, a season if you will, where withdrawing from life’s responsibilities and putting up their feet, almost seems like a rite of passage. A final gift to take it easy, before they die.
Theoretically, retirees have more time and more money to invest in whatever they want to.
What if they invested it on the less fortunate, the needy, the overlooked, the sick, the weak?
Or at the very least, their Grandchildren.
It’s such a privilege to get older. Tomorrow, when many observe our national holiday, Memorial Day, we might pause for a few moments of silence and thank those who never made it to old age, because they made the ultimate sacrifice, so we could.
Make it a GREAT day! jeff noel 🙂
The post that was originally here has been removed because i inadvertently made an honest mistake over six years ago.
Mid Life and the art of Carpe Diem.
How does one, while in mid-life, seize the day?
For me, it’s a constant, never-ending focus on being present.
I can hear a few people thinking, “OK Einstein, how do you do that“?
Again, it’s a habit of trying to always be present.
Like Tiger Woods told me last year, to be world class in anything, you have to “Out work ’em”!
Each day I try to be better than I was the day before. And at the very least, no loss – at least maintain the level from the day before.
No rules for mid-life success will work unless you do. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Happy Monday everyone. Hope you had a nice weekend, and that your mid-life week ahead is motivating.
I was reflecting on why I started blogging, and I’m still convinced that helping others in Mid Life, to do something great, is still a good and decent thing to do.
So, in blogging, and business, and just about anything really, if people don’t know about your service or product, you become a statistic.
I’ve read that somewhere around 90-95% of ventures that people start disappear after five years. Meaning, they no longer exist.
Why?
Many reasons to be sure.
Marketing is a big one.
While there is temptation to feel uncomfortable with self-promotion, I believe it must be overcome.
Your vision is completely at risk if people don’t know about it.
So, Google this: Mid Life Celebration. Being in the top three on a Google search is a VERY good thing.
If you’re on the first page, that’s great, but not as great as the top three.
Now, Google this: jeff noel.
What’s the point?
The harder you work, the luckier you get. I’m darn lucky to be number one and number four.
Make it a great day today a great mid-life day, because if you don’t, who will? If not today, when? Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
