“Indecision may or may not be my problem.” — Jimmy Buffett
Ain’t it da truth? This is one of the many reasons I’ve been challenged to do a better job at living out my dreams.
Please don’t get me wrong, most people have a pretty good batting average – we do many of the things we say we’re going to do.
We also, because we’re human, don’t do a lot of the things we say we’re going to do.
The antidote?
Find your higher purpose.
And, be prepared to work harder than you ever have in your life.
Why? Because becoming hysterically funny (in addition to being uncommonly insightful and off the hook fast), would only lead to fame and fortune. While this would appear, to most people, to be a good thing, it’s actually a catch-22.
Jimmy Buffett, in one of his clever songs, sings, “I don’t want the fame that brings confusion. Where people recognize you on a plane“.
Tiger Woods responded this way when I asked him last year, “Do you ever get tired of being famous”? – “Since day one”, he answered, matter-of-factly.
But the other day, a seed was planted fertilized when a Google Alert for “Mid Life” led me to this funny blog by Tia – Clever Girl Gone Blog.
Just Sunday, at a meeting, I mentioned that my blog posts (1,300–ish in six months) aren’t particularly funny, even though in real life, I am. Inspiring? Fairly. Funny? Not so much. I’ll work on it as time permits. Ok?
Meanwhile, just wanted to say thanks for following. Carpe diem.
Mother Teresa & Jimmy Buffett hold very special places in my heart. They seem to have nothing in common, right?
And yet I have aspirations to be like both.
Everyday I wake up with the grandiose goal to save the world – you know, to serve the poorest of the poor.
And each day I also want to savior the world – you know, Carpe Diem, seize the day. Enjoy life for all it’s worth.
This makes it hard to plan the day.
What would you choose?
Jimmy Buffett or Bob Marley?
It was a pretty easy choice. Bob Marley.
I’ve been listening to Jimmy Buffett since Sunday afternoon.
The writing has been coming pretty easy. The hard part is, I have so many ideas. So much inspiration.
Isn’t that one of the keys to life, or anything for that matter, inspiration?
Well, right now, I’m inspired to finish this post.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
