Overwhelmed?
Pretty close.
And you?
Let’s stick together, support one another, and stay calm during this stormy time in modern history.

Overwhelmed?
Thursday, August 5th, 2010Simple Is As Simple Does

Are You Paying Attention?
Simple is elusive.
Focus is elusive.
Determination is elusive.
Humility is elusive.
Unless your life purpose is clear.
Reading yesterday’s post had me question my humility. You read it and you saw “I did”.
The thing you should understand (in case you don’t) is that there are many people who can tell you what should be done and why, but they themselves can not – not nearly to the extent they preach.
It seemed to me, there was an opportunity for a common man (perhaps a Father) to step up and try it differently.
The End Is Near

We Love You Carter
The love of a pet, for some people, is indescribably real and strong.
The loss of a pet, for some people, is heartbreaking, gut wrenching.
Journaling, is therapeutic for some people.
Two out of three isn’t bad.
We All Have Addictions

Are We Trained For Them?
We all have addictions.
“No we don’t”, is the echo we can hear from some of you.
“Yes we do”, is the echo we can hear from some others, including myself.
Is it hereditary? Click here to read this article that suggests it is.
Pick your poison:
Approval, chocolate, work, sex, TV, food, Internet, exercise, reading, pessimism, optimism, Love, Faith, Hope, Money, shopping, volunteering, excuses, greed, jealously, alcohol, drugs, caffeine, pain, pleasure, video games, gambling, competition, failure, success, nicotine, etc.

Blessed Beyond Measure
A word is worth a thousand pictures.
Cheryl.
Cheryl, my wife.
They don’t make ‘em prettier or smarter.
I’m blaming her for loving me.
When Is Your Funeral?
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
Knock Knock
When is your funeral? No idea, right?
Exactly. None of us know.
And because, for most people, death is paralyzingly scary, we ignore it. As if it will go away if we don’t think about it.
I think about death everyday. This helps me appreciate the gift of life today and the opportunity to do the best I can.
Every day is a failure. Every day is a triumph. Every day is a gift.
Will you unwrap yours and enjoy it today?
Just Give Up, OK?

Hope Is Free
How often do you feel like giving up? Like quitting? Like what you do doesn’t matter? That the effort is too much, the payoff too little?
Received an email today. Compelled to share it. And it wasn’t from a blog conversation, but a LinkedIn connection.
We connected, like people do, and I sent a personal message, like I always try to do, mentioning, “I am selling hope, and it’s free.”
He sent back a reply, which was a little confusing, so I asked for clarification. He said:
“I mean it’s about putting it out there. My dad’s quote (and every dad’s?) – You’ll only get out of life what you put in …Keep selling hope – we all need it.”
Did you catch that? What his Dad always told him?
“You’ll only get out of life what you put in.”
The Truth Hurts

Fog
The truth hurts. The truth can also set us free.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever!”
Can’t you just hear people saying this, or thinking it? I say it too. We all do sometimes.
In fact, I’ve said this all my life.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever.”
Until a few years ago when things began to change.
One close friend describes me as, “A Transformed man.”
Just yesterday, at jeffnoel.org (spirit) I posted about the fog, the semi-conscious state many of us seem to go through life with. Some may call it auto-pilot.
As we are into the fourth day of the new year already, wanted to remind everyone that the goal from all this writing is:
- To leave a trail for a young child
- To help others with their goals
- To eventually raise money to find a cure
These things have the ability to help transform anyone. At the moment, it’s working slowly, but powerfully.

Bring On 2010
Finally.
Some will say, “Finally, 2009 is over.”
Some will say, “Finally, 2010 is here.”
Some may say both.
Where would you put yourself?
It seems, time and time again, it all comes down to attitude.
