Pond Scum

Looking much more closely and curiously at nature, stunning, unobservable beauty is revealed. The beauty in repetition is that it teaches us the fundamental law that effort equals results. Good effort, good results. Great effort, great results. No effort, no results.

Rembrandt?

Fall In Love With The Daily Gift of Being Alive

What is one of jeff noel’s biggest health secrets? It’s the daily, repetitive, mundane, unglamorous focus on staying motivated. Of pushing through all the predicatable excuses for not exercising. The daily grind of never giving up.

P.U.S.H., But Don't Stop There

Prayer is always good, yet eventually, it’s not enough. Action must be taken. We know this, forget this, and then pretend it doesn’t matter.

Lane Eight

Lane eight is the worst lane assignment in Track & Field. The slowest runner gets this lane. A word of caution here. Never let the worst lane, or even finishing dead last worry you.

Perhaps that would be impossible, to be in Lane eight. But what if it was in the finals, at the world championships. Dead last but eighth best in the world.

Oh, and after Nationals, the Olympics, right?

jeff noel remembers the first Masters Track meet he ran in 2005. Immediately after that 400 meter run in 62.5 seconds, noel was (immaturely) ready to start thinking about the National Championships.

Noel even thought he could go to a big-name running shoe company and work out an endorsement deal. The wise meet organizer just smiled at his comments; he had heard and seen them all before. Many times.

How long before this....

....became this?

Serious running requires start-up investments in a runner’s time, money, learning, practice and growing from their new running experiences. Serious blogging requires the exact same start-up investments. Here’s what’s even crazier… jeff noel has found identical elements in growing Mid Life Celebration, LLC. Perhaps three years, usually more, before enough mistakes have been made and a baseline foundation for upward building – in running, blogging, and, business.

This is what's known as a blinding flash of the obvious

The more jeff noel learns, the more he discovers just how much he has to learn to deal with it all. The trick, jeff says, is to sort through the cluttered, noisy world to uncover two simple things:

  1. Life’s Priorities
  2. Best way to deliver on them

And just when you think you know it all, something new comes along to facilitate doubt, say 9/11, a layoff, cancer, burglary.
