Happy Birthday To You?

Some celebrate birthdays, some don’t. Doesn’t really matter what others do for their birthday.

What matters is what you do, whether it’s birthdays, exercise, diet, learning, work, cleaning, etc.

What you do does matter. Doesn’t it?

Sunday (like three days ago) I shot a 51-second You Tube video, since today is my 51st birthday.

Do you think I can hold my legs parallel a second for each year? Click here to see.

PS. It doesn’t matter if you click on it or not, what matters is that at 51, I can do what’s on that video.

Gladness And Hunger

“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet”. ~ Frederick Buechner

I Challenge You

Do something great today!

When was the last time you actually had those words come out of someone’s mouth and they were directed at you?

Got it?

Seriously, I’m talking to you.

PS. If not today, when? If not you, who?

Nearly Every Day

Time Flies (Carter's Been Gone 3.5 months)

Do you ever feel like a broken record? Saying the same thing over and over again?

Good. This means you’re on to something. And the more you explain it, the better you get at explaining it, and the more people you reach and the more intriguing your crazy dream becomes – not only for others, but also for yourself.

Yet knowing this is not enough. Why? Because most people are weak, overwhelmed, distracted, medicated, afraid, insecure. How do I know? Because I’m one of you.

After 14 months, I can count on one hand the number of people who’ve said, “Jeff, writing five differently themed blogs every single day is the coolest thing I’ve ever heard of”.

Ever Notice The Names?

Two days ago, stopped at an intersection, the car in front of me had a bumper sticker that caught my eye. We all find ourselves reading funny ones, crazy ones, inspiring ones, and sometimes offensive ones.

If you click on this photo, it’ll enlarge and it reads:

WILDCAT TERRITORY – BEWARE

We see names like: Wildcats, Bulldogs, Warriors, Rockets, Fighting Irish, Rams, Raiders and other assorted “power names”.

You know what we never see on High School “Team” bumper stickers? The Bunnies, Chicks, Duckies, Wildflowers, Snowflakes, Gumdrops.

Culture is what people think and do, without thinking.

What if we started to think a bit differently about bumper stickers, names, habits, confidence, tough decisions?
