Mid Life Celebration Or Midlife Celebration?

Finland 2009

If you Google Mid Life Celebration or Midlife Celebration, the Google front page results are almost identical. jeff noel often talks about being purposeful with life. These search engine results are an example.

Life happens purposefully or life happens by default. A life by design beats the alternative every time, and requires a lot of heavy lifting, which is why we almost always take the easy route, with the rest of the midlife Herd.

Carrie Underwood Change

Just A Fool?
Just A Fool?

“To live without my music would be impossible to do, because in this world of troubles, my music pulls me through.”

The other day, I heard Carrie Underwood’s new song, Change“.

There’s a line in the song that goes like this:

“Just a fool, just a fool to believe, you can change the world.”

Maybe.  Maybe not.

Know What All These Blogs Have in Common?

What do Lane 8.org, Mid Life Celebration.com, jungle jeff.net, jeff noel.org all have one thing in common?

Together, they form the foundation for the story I’m writing.

Similarly to the way Randy Pausch wrote, The Last Lecture , for his young children. I am writing for our son.

And no story is complete, in my opinion, without pictures:

Most Worried About?

What am I the most worried about, when it comes to writing five blog posts every single day?

Content.  Quantity. Yes, quantity over quality at this point.

Why?   I’m really in the infancy stage of developing these blogs.

The concept is easy for me to understand, but not so much for others.

Take running, reading, writing, or even cooking.  What is a simple, fundamental concept to be good at these?

Want to be a good runner  – run a lot.

Want to be a good reader – read a lot.

Same with writing.  Condition yourself first, before you start the “race”.

I compete in Master’s Track & Field at 400 meters.  That’s one lap. Done in less than one minute.

In training for this, I run 4-5 miles each day.  That’s 16 – 20 laps.  But the race is only one.

Do the quantity first, to lay the foundation for quality.

At least that’s what I do.  Carpe diem,  jeff noel 🙂
