Last night a box arrived via UPS. The box began its journey in China.
How do outliers think about time?
Different outliers think about it differently, so i’m sharing my perspective.
In late 2008, at 49, i found clarity on the reality no male on my Dad’s side lived past 60.
i made a 10-year plan to do everything i want to do in life before i turn 60.
The talking behind your back when you are an outlier is something you have to accept (and ignore).
“You’re in great shape Jeff. You’ll probably outlive us all.”
Isn’t that a nice thing to say to me?
Except.
How about early onset, rapid-progression Alzheimers?
You can physically be present, and not have a clue who the people are around you. You can even reach a point when you forget how (or why) to swallow food.
A tragic accident. Anything, really, can alter everything.
i am not living with anxiety that the end is near.
i’m living with an excitement and a decision-making karma that is allergic to excuses about waiting for the time to be right to do the stuff we said we want to do.
It’s glorious.
i wish it for you.

i never did until 1999 (at 40 years old) when i began a career at Disney Institute.
The position required me to be the first one in the classroom or convention center ballroom as the Disney facilitator or Disney keynote speaker.
It’s been a game-changer, becoming a morning person.
It’s also been a roller coaster ride trying to get eight hours of sleep each night.
Such is life.
Can’t imagine how challenging it’d be without having a compelling vision for achieving it.

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.
