Live like you mean it

 

Live like you mean it.

 

What inspires you?

Focus on that.

Please.

Don’t wait until tomorrow to get to it.

Waiting becomes a habit, and then we never do.

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.

Good morning 2016, i’m dying.

Did he just say that?

Yep.

i’m dying.

Here’s the thing, we are all dying.

Few of us are preparing for it.

In 2008-2009, i started to ask myself, “Why?”

The buzz that many had last night from alcohol pales in comparison to the buzz i get from living without regret, living with peace and contentment, living with constant gratitude.

Lived with the first (alcohol) for about 28 years. Living with the second (no alcohol) for 15 years now.

Yes, this is an expert opinion.

What’s your rainy day backup plan?

First day of school photo
Ironic that this was captured in this way yesterday.

 

What’s your rainy day backup plan?

Being organized, why wouldn’t we plan our funeral in advance?

Because:

  • We don’t want to think about death
  • We don’t have time to look that far into the future
  • Plus, it’s a long way off

Is it a long way off?

We are all weird. What with our idiosyncrasies. Some of which we are proud of. Others we feel a slave to.

In 2008, at 49, with a 50th birthday more than half a year away, i envisioned a 10-year plan to commence on my 50th birthday: five more years at Disney (for a total of 30), and five years to put a dent in the Universe.

No male on my dad’s side has made it past 60.

This morning i caught myself feeling like i am taking for granted the 3.6 years remaining (until 60).

Important note: Jack Noel lived to be 67. Early onset, rapid-progression Alzheimer’s Disease stole his cognitive abilities by the time he was 60.
