Do you pack in advance or the morning you depart?

The summer camp Scouting staff kept their fire burning to the very last night of the seventh and final week…

Do you pack in advance or the morning you depart? While the context is traveling on earth, it’s also a reality check for death. On the way to Brooklyn, New York to do mission work – work that matters and makes a difference to others.

Boomers, got big plans today?

Are you haunted by your personal organization potential?

Disney Resorts
aim for perfection, settle for excellence

Are you haunted by personal organization potential? You learned to walk, talk, read, write, drive a car, use manners…you can also learn how to be decently organized.

What many fail to accept is that it is largely trial and error. Expect to fail in your attempts. Expect your systems and processes to be inefficient. Expect your slow and steady efforts to continuously make you more organized. You must have an attitude of positive expectation…

When was the last time you just wanted to shout with excitement because you had so many ideas and an unusually heightened sense of urgency?

…where the heck’s your 30-second elevator speech?

elevator speeches
good 30-second elevator speeches

At a WordPress Orlando Meetup April 28, I walked away with a big aha. My elevator speech went on for minutes…. How often do you use your brilliant elevator speech? Yeah, like unless you’re in sales…..blah, blah, blah… Anyway, afterwards, walking to the car, rewrote the whole thing in my head:

“I help people discover the two most magnificent days in their life… Can I ask you two questions? How old are you? How much longer do you plan to live? See, there’s the catch. None of us know. Life is not a dress rehearsal. Later never comes. I excite people like you to live like you mean it. And, um, give speeches to change the world”.

PS. Take a poke, offer something up. Use email if that helps you help me… jeff.noel@me.com  And if you’re brand new, the right side column offers another angle ->

Happiest Of New Year’s To You And Best Wishes For 2012!

New Year's Eve 2011, at The Fresh Market.

Happy New Year. A late start to the daily blogging here at Mid Life Celebration. The final look at the clock last night, it was 11:51pm. Fell asleep just before the apple dropped at Times Square.

Um, yes, I do know it’s April Fool’s Day 2012 as you read this. And um, you do know it’s January 1, 2012 (90 days ago) as I type this post. Right?

Life is an experiment. You are experimenting this year aren’t you? Please tell me the dreams you are thinking today (Jan. 1) are still alive today (Apr. 1).

PS. That last sentence was weird to write. This is going to be an interesting January (or April). I’m already a little confused how this will work out.
