Change yourself to change the world?

Change yourself to change the world?  

I went to the Apple store yesterday.   It intrigues me that Apple has forged a path, different then the status quo.

This challenges me to learn about Apple or not learn about Apple.   I have choosen to learn.

It dawned on me that the secret to success is having the right attitude.  And that the right attitude can be significantly influenced when there is a compelling reason.

Being a role model to my family is very compelling to me.   The moral – never stop learning.  Find a way to keep pushing your understanding, without sacrificing your core, your root values.

Mac Daddy?

Heading to the Apple Store today.

Why?

To look at potentially getting an Apple computer.   A Mac.

Why?

Why not?

With an eight-year old who looks at technology the same way he looks at air and water – breathing and drinking – it’s just a no-brainer that I should embrace technology, understand technology, and use technology, like he will when he gets older.

Ya with me?   No time to fear.  Only time to learn and grow.   Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

My goal in life is to become…

Our Dog is our Son.   And, my goal in life is to become the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Think about it this way too:

“Dogs are our link to paradise.  They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent.   To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring – it was Peace.”   — Milan Kundera

May the Peace that surpasses all understanding be with you today.   Life is hard.  Trust me, I know.  You know it too.  It’s hard for everyone in their own way.  All of us have the weight of the world on our shoulders.  And if we don’t currently, we either did or will soon.

Will today be the best day of your life?

It depends.

On what?

Many things probably.

I’m guessing if it’s gonna be my best day, I’ll have to really be “in the moment” and focus repeatedly on the multitude of blessings that are mostly invisible to the naked eye.

You up for the challenge?   If not you, who?  If not today, when?   Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂
