Good morning mind blowing thought

The Lakeland Center — Five in the foreground, two in the center. Five blogs a day for the two most important people in my life.

That feeling when you wake up and realize you are one month away from something that blows your mind.

And you realize that what you began seven years prior has lasted.

And it lasted because, well, you have no idea why.

Except maybe because you had had enough negative self-talk and decided to burn the ships.

PS. No one is immune from negative self-talk, not even the most positive people you know.

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.

Today is the beginning of the eighth year

Prolific Blogger jeff noel from Disney — Circa 2008-2010

Today is the beginning of the eighth year. Top photo from 2008 and the original website look. Bottom photo about two years later, a little more color. The progress one can make when a little is done every single day.

There was a time when the number of consecutive days blogging was two. Today it’s 2,558.

Excited, confused, even baffled

Disney motivational Leadership Speaker — Yesterday, out for a 10-miler to Magic Kingdom.

Excited, confused, even baffled is how i’m feeling.

This post has been hard to write. i’ve changed the title and contents a couple times.

Why?

Not sure exactly. This never happens.

It’s the crazy excitement knowing that the most ridiculous milestone is only 100 days away. If i write just 100 more consecutive days, the seventh year of daily writing will be completed.

Maybe it’s because i can see that todays’s posts go live on the eve of that milestone day – April Fools Day.

i remember picking April Fools Day on purpose because i thought i was a fool to think “this time” was going to be different than all the other failed attempts i had at writing with consistency.

This was something i wrote down in the Spring of 1980 while at the North Carolina Outward Bound School. A reminder that the only limitations i have are those i impose upon myself.

If i never try anything, i never learn anything. If i never take a risk, i stay where i am.

Only four days from beginning the eighth year

iPhone calculator screen shot — Come April 1, 2016, this is how many blog posts i’ve written in seven years.

Ever do something that was impossible at first, miraculously accomplish it, but then it grew into something even more impossible?

Only four days until the beginning of the eighth year.

Seven years (2,557 days, including two leap years) of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts equals 12,785 posts.

There are also 100 days worth of (500) posts that are written and in the que to publish. Yes, i suffer from writer’s flood. Some days, writing only five posts isn’t enough.

So in reality, i’ve written 13,285 posts.

Sick.

Impossible.

No end in sight.
