So sure of ourself one minute, so afraid the next

We can only be or have one or the other, not both

 

When we set a big goal and prepare for it for several years, something obvious happens. Time passes.

And the closer we get the reality gradually amplifies.

To a fever pitch sometimes.

Ranging from feelings of separation (like from a sudden death) anxiety to unbelievable excitement for the next greatest adventure in life.

Not uncommon to change your mind several times in a single day. And each decision seems final, until it doesn’t again.

It feels like insanity sometimes.

So sure of ourself one minute, so afraid the next.

Why?

April Fools #5

Starbucks sign touting ease of greatness

April Fools.

Yesterday’s ‘quit writing’ announcement was an April Fool’s joke.

Life Is Good @ 1 Push Up A Day

Life Is Good if you can do one push up per day.  Do that for a week.  Then, the next week, do two push ups per day.

Continue to add one push up per day, for every week since you started.

Oh wait, I can already read your mind, “This is stupid”.

If I fail at anything, it’s almost always because I don’t stick with it.

Over a decade ago, I vowed to accept the challenge contained in this post.  I thought, “How hard could it be.  Seriously”?

Sticking with it has created a life-changing path for me.  If you have any motivation in you, may I challenge you to read this – Hello World

Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

PS.  I did this for two years – 104 pushups in one day.  Now I do 40, two or three times per week.
