Walt Disney's Carousel Of Progress

Keep Moving Forward - Walt Disney

No doubt many visitors have come and gone, finding jeff noel’s five main Mid Life Celebration blogs too offensive, too painful, too pushy, too true, too egotistical, too whatever blah, blah, blah.

And no doubt, a disproportionately small group of midlife Baby Boomers have found noel’s five daily blogs refreshingly inspirational. Life is hard. Life is good. Can’t have one without the other. Go.

Can’t imagine going down on skis…

The Blog Whisperer is jeff noel. No one on the Internet writes 5 differently-themed blogs 365 days a year. Nor do they include a personal photo in every post.

jeff noel, founder of Mid Life Celebration, LLC has a book to write. The unwritten and unspoken message to you is that, all along, I’ve been pursuing several impossible goals.

March was put up or shut up month. Did you? Good luck in April…

Will jeff noel, The Blog Whisperer, The Internet’s Only Five-a-day Blogger hang up the daily blogging, the regular exercise, the daily praying, the endless self-improvement, and the decent personal organization?

Will you? Would you? Should you?

Well, the daily blogging may need to go, until the first mega-best-selling book is finished.

Exercise, fitness, diet – these are just 1/5 of Life’s Big Choices.

Let your mind open up to limitless possibilities. There is something magical about attempting the impossible. History is full of inspiring stories, from the Bible, Qur’an, and other ancient teachings, to the New York Times and CNN.

Here’s the catch. And it’s a great one.

In Lane 8′s and jeff noel’s context, impossible doesn’t mean something no human has ever done. It means something YOU have never done.

Never been able to do a push-up? Never able to run a 5k? Never been able to touch your toes? Never finished first in your age-group? These are the impossible goals that should stiffen your backbone and nail your resolve.

With some thought, you’ll see you have a good story to tell. Good stories always involve conflict, so let your inevitable failures add spice and credibility.

Don’t think your story inspires others? Guess again.

Worried you’ll sound boastful or showoff-ish? Relax. People need to hear your story. Embrace humility, but don’t let it keep you quiet.

Tomorrow, why keeping quiet is the last thing you want to do.

They say you should write about what interests the reader. So, I’ll meet them half way.

Readers want to see someone practicing what they preach. We want to listen to someone who’s been down, and continues to go down, the same path as us.

Rather than jump into the 1st 5k that came along, I picked one with significant meaning, The 10th Annual Windermere Run Among The Lakes 5k on April 2nd.

Tomorrow, why you should give just a little more thought before acting.

Our household is not immune.Searching for a place to begin, I looked for several ingredients:

  • Easy to be successful
  • No travel involved
  • No equipment necessary
  • Didn’t take too much time

The one-mailbox-a-day wellness program that worked so well for jeff noel 12 years ago, as a 40 year old, might also work for a 10-year old.

Anything in the above recipe that repulses you? Put up or shut up – in the nicest way possible.

Aren’t we old enough to recognize hype and exploitation? Marketers feed off our insecurities. We’re easy prey. Get a grip.

Is my approach – you know, the basics, the fundamentals – too much to get your arms around?

Eat. Sleep. Work. Family. Exercise. The trick is to do them well. Which mostly means – just do it.

All of it.

Why don’t you exercise?

Why do you eat such a healthy diet?

Why do you eat such junk food?

How long will you be able to maintain this routine?

When are you going to start?

What motivates you?

What are you afraid of?

Why?  When?  Where? Who?  How?

If you can’t answer these for yourself, then who else do you think is going to answer them?  No one?

No one! (exclamation mark)

One last question.

“Doesn’t this scare the heck out of you?”
