September has been interesting because __________.
Because jeff noel has finally come to the realization that very few people can actually keep up with the pace required for balancing life’s (5) big choices. Sad and exciting at the same time. Weird.
Some decisions take much longer than we hoped. Some don’t. Life’s challenge is we have poor odds in predicting which is which. Either way, we have the choice to feel gratitude, or not – for the process and the outcome.
About the only measurable thing we have control over is how many days in a row we refuse to quit.
With Summer officially over, Mid Life Celebration looks back and smiles gratefully for the intense thinking, creative dreaming, and indomitable will that led to a breakthrough. A critical, small-business-entrepreneur question was asked, then answered.
This may not make sense at first (or ever) to you….jeff noel didn’t struggle with the answer, he struggled with finding the right question. noel’s hometown of Walt Disney World facilitated his confidence.
Should be getting Seth Godin’s latest book, “We Are All Weird”, in the mail today. (only 11k hardcopies published, but unlimited digital). The early book reviews imply weird is the new good important. (YAY!)
Sure, it might be annoying, but it most likely isn’t obvious to most people engaged in social media. jeff noel doesn’t call out his obvious and sometimes annoying efforts to use repetitive keywords for blog SEO and Google page rank. He just does it. Everyday, focus on the basics. Because if you don’t, you’re not. (also obvious and annoying) Weird, huh?
Wizdom comes from experience and experience comes from making mistakez. Does this philosophy grant immunity from making mistakez and give us unlimited permission?
Either way, the fine print reads, you shouldn’t make the same mistakes very often. By now, could we assume Charlie shouldn’t let the roze bush grow too high?
