Who knew temptation actually had a positive side to it?
Make it a GREAT mid-life day, because if you don’t, who will. If not today, when? Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Mid Life Crisis?
You’ve heard me say this before, I believe whether we have a mid life crisis or a mid life celebration – it’s our attitude that determines our label.
Same with our entire life. How far we go in it depends on our attitude.
And ultimately, it’s the same for everything’…….
“In all our actions, God considers the intention: whether we act for Him or for some other motive”. — St. Maximus the Confessor
Make it a GREAT Thursday. It’s up to you. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Define Life?
The adventure of life is to learn.
The purpose of life is to grow.
The nature of life is to change.
The challenge of life is to overcome.
The essence of life is to care.
The opportunity of life is to serve.
The secret of life is to dare.
The spice of life is to befriend.
The beauty of life is to give.

However you define life, I hope you find it abundantly today. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Mid Life Blogging is easy and it’s hard
Mid Life blogging is easy and it’s hard.
Easy because you can choose to do whatever you want. You’re the boss.
Hard because you may not achieve your goal. Assuming you had a goal in mind that led you to blog, not reaching it could be a huge disappointment.
I hope you don’t give up.
Whether you are blogging at mid-life, or getting in shape at mid-life, or even mending some important relationship at mid-life, may you find the strength and courage to keep going.
Life is hard, that’s the conversation I had today with our eight-year old son.
But at eight, it’s really hard to comprehend.
At mid-life, we could all write a book, eh?
You know, I was actually thinking about a comment a speaker made in February at the National Speaker’s Association Winter Conference, here in my “backyard” – Walt Disney World.
He said, “Don’t die with a book in you“.
Words to live by.
And a hard decision to make on what to do with a comment like that.
Good luck and carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Mid Life and the art of Carpe Diem
Mid Life and the art of Carpe Diem.
How does one, while in mid-life, seize the day?
For me, it’s a constant, never-ending focus on being present.
I can hear a few people thinking, “OK Einstein, how do you do that“?
Again, it’s a habit of trying to always be present.
Like Tiger Woods told me last year, to be world class in anything, you have to “Out work ’em”!
Each day I try to be better than I was the day before. And at the very least, no loss – at least maintain the level from the day before.
No rules for mid-life success will work unless you do. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
