Inspiration From Email?

I’m “off” today and spending a little time on enhancing the whole social networking thing. Here’s a second jeff noel blog post for today, inspired by my reply to an email I received ten minutes ago:

Just this morning, when our son’s third-grade teacher asked me how I was doing and I said, “Excellent!”, I followed up with her, to be clear, by saying, “I have the weight of the world on my shoulders like everyone else, but I’m not going to let in interfere with my day.”

Pick any one my five daily blogs, read about 10-15 posts, and then tell me it can’t help you if you made reading it (them) the same habit I make writing it (them).

Or, you can do what you always do.

By the way, I have been involved in a career, with the same organization, for 26 years. Did you catch that? The same organization.

Seriously, you would think that blogging is my job. It’s not. It’s a newly (a year ago) discovered tool to help me become a world-class Dad.

Whatever you choose, may all the blessings and success you deserve, come your way.

If You Could Not Fail

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

We’ve all heard this question posed to us in our lifetimes.

Some of us have heard it so many times, we no longer hear it, no longer even consider it a valid question.

You now why?

Because nothing in life is guaranteed, except that we will die and taxes will increase.

Giving in, and quitting are so common place. Or, people won’t even start in the first place.

Why?

Because we can fail at everything.

But what if we didn’t fail?

How would our lives be transformed? And more importantly, how would the lives of others be transformed?

They Said It, Not Me

Some people label me as optimistic.

Some as having a positive attitude.

Others, say I’m audacious.

And some say, “That bird is crazy.”

Whatever you call it, “They said it, not me.”

I Wonder What You Said

Hello everyone. Are you still excited about 2010? Were you lying in your bed this morning wondering, “When is that alarm clock ever going to go off? Just bring it on!”

Funny isn’t? Or maybe it’s crazy. Can you imagine having something you can’t wait to get started on?

And so, I just re-read the big question from yesterday.

“How are you doing with your impossible goal?”

Only One On The Internet?

Being the Internet’s only Five-a-Day Blogger, there is a certain feeling of, well, it’s hard to describe.

It’s like finding yourself in a place you never dreamed of, but if you did dream of it, you’d think it would be:

Impossible to achieve
Impossible to maintain
Crazy (but a good crazy)

Well, after writing 1,500 posts in the spontaneous, same-day format, I can’t stop myself.

In fact, some days I do need to stop myself.

Why?

Because I want to write more than one post per blog. “That would be too much for the Internet community to read”, I think to myself.

And then it occurs to me, “What if it’s not?”

That’s today’s message. As you are nearly two weeks into your new year, “How are you doing with your impossible goal?”
