jeff noel Thinks It’s Funny, Really, How People Walk Right Past Everything They Need To Be Happy

jeff noel's photos are a form of "real life, in real time" art (notice the the feet walking by?)

The truth is so scary for aging midlife Baby Boomers. The truth? All we need to be happy are life’s basic essentials. A sound mind, body, spirit, career, home.

How many books do we need to read? How many seminars, sermons, lessons? What we really need are daily “real life, in real time” examples to inspire us that the key is to seize this day.

Midlife Celebration Is Feeling Edgy Today Because There’s An Aging Elephant In The Room

Midlife Celebration said elephant, not snow man.

Mid Life Celebration is feeling quite edgy today. Why? Well, there’s an aging Baby Boomer elephant in the room. You know, the thing everyone knows is so obvious (an elephant in the room), but everyone ignores, walks around, pretends doesn’t exist.

It’s this whole “personal responsibility” movement jeff noel has been writing about. Boomers, when will we stop seeking the answers outside ourselves? All we need – the answers, happiness – it all resides inside. We must simply start looking. On the inside.

Florida Winter Arrived Last Week

How do you mark the advent of Winter where you live? Seasons come and go. Growing up in Pennsylvania, you knew.

In Central Florida, it’s much more subtle. People grow up here, never seeing snow or a frozen pond. But with careful consideration, there are clues that unmistakably say, “It’s time“.

Last Friday, we heard the first Robin Red Breast chirping. Robins aren’t native to Florida. They come here for the winter.

In an effort to pass on “wisdom” to our son, unique home-made traditions, like the “1st Robin of the season” are a great place to start.

You can observe a lot by watching. – Yogi Berra

Are you paying attention, or is life racing by?

The best way to succeed in life is to act on the advice we give to others.Anonymous

This is what separates the leader from the follower.

We can follow our shadow of fear, or we can walk in front of it and rarely pay attention to it.

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.
