How Many & Why?

How many blog posts have you done and why do you do five each day?

First answer is easy – 861.  This post will make it 862.

Second answer.  Also easy, but perhaps challenging to understand.

Because I:

  • Am committed to excellence
  • Want to make a positive difference
  • Think it’s “impossible”
  • Am learning so much
  • Am helping more by doing this, than by not doing this

That’s a short, top of mind list.

It keeps me going.  Anyone want to share what keeps you going?

Probably not, right?  Too busy. Too distracted.  Too scared.

Yeah, same with me.  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Blogussion Website Recommendation

Blogussion Website Recommendation.

Click here to be exposed to a great resource for becoming a world class blogger and entrepreneur.

The Blogussion website is a feast for the hungry blogger.  Especially helpful is the right side column of most helpful posts.

I am just starting to uncover, or maybe discover, the tip of the blogging and social media iceberg.

Please forgive me for saying this.  It amazes me how many people in my age-group who are digital neanderthals.

It’s meant to be a nudge-ment, not a judge-ment.  Carpe diem, jeff 🙂

jeff noel Warehouse

jeff noel Warehouse.  Warehouse?

Yes.  Warehouse.

I’s a warehouse, a billboard, a corner lot, a red convertible sports car, a beach house, a Mazaratti,.  It’s all that.

It’s a place to play host to other things that might help others.

Google jeff noel and see where you land.

How the heck can you get Google front page in six months?

Common sense, meet common practice.

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

PS.  If this post confused you, perfect.  Not meant to confuse in a negative way, but rather a challenge to discover what the hidden message is.

Freedom Isn’t Free, Ask Eric

Freedom isn’t free.  Just ask Eric, 35, father of two young daughters and protector of Freedom.

Yesterday, Eric had the window seat and I had the aisle. In between us, a man headed back home to Vietnam.

Eric’s headed back to his second tour in Afghanistan. He’s a police trainer. And for a little while, he was home on leave, in Central Florida with his family.

I mentioned that my Dad served in Japan during the Korean war and my Father-In-Law in Eurpore during WWII.

Then thanked him for what he does. He was more grateful than I thought.

After we went our separate ways, I noticed the gift shop newspaper rack:

Godspeed Eric
Godspeed Eric

The caption:  Afghan Police rush to the scene of a car bomb attack on a NATO convoy that killed eight and wounded at least 50.  A Taliban official vowed to strike polling stations in Thursday’s Presidential vote.

Today is our son’s school’s open house.  I almost started to feel sad that I won’t be there, because I’m in Chicago on business.  How pathetic am I?

Thank you Eric.  And thank you to all who serve our country, and all countries focused on peaceful living.

Insanely Busy?

Insanely busy?  Sure feels like it.

Doesn’t stop me though.

Does your work load overwhelm you?

Blind faith that doing the right things for the right reasons will pay off.

Maybe not in the way I think, but pay off nonetheless.

I’d be lost with out faith.  Lost without hope.  Lost without a purpose.

It’s my purpose that motivates and inspires me to do my best every day.

“If I’m not doing my very best everyday, who’s to blame”?

Ever ask yourself that question?

Do you know your “purpose’?

If not today, when?  If not you, who?  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂
