			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Returning Visitors, this post will remain the first thing you see, for a week or so.  You can still trust that I&#8217;m posting here every single day. Just scroll down for today&#8217;s post. Thanks.</p>
<div id="attachment_5156" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://MidLifeCelebration.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/04.01.2010.326.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5156" title="Top Right Link Will Always Lead You" src="http://MidLifeCelebration.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/04.01.2010.326-300x225.jpg" alt="Top Right Link Will Always Lead You" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Top Right Link Will Always Lead You</p></div>
<p><strong>It is now amazingly easy to click through all five daily blogs, without having to think or remember which order or how many you&#8217;ve already visited.</strong></p>
<p>Simply click the top link under <strong>Blogroll</strong>, on the <strong>upper right-hand column</strong>. It automatically advances you.</p>
<p>Ever heard these phrases?:</p>
<ul>
<li>Never get bored with the basics</li>
<li>It&#8217;s common sense, but not common practice</li>
<li>The road to excellence has no finish line</li>
</ul>
<p>On a friend&#8217;s suggestion, I&#8217;ve simplified navigation between the five daily blogs.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s basic, it&#8217;s common sense, and just one more simple improvement.</p>
<p><strong>It reminds me of mid life.</strong></p>
<p><strong>PS.  Please scroll past this to read today&#8217;s post.  Thanks.</strong></p>

<p>Lists. Top ten lists.  Mid life.  Midlife lists. Midlife top ten lists.</p>
<p>Mind, Body, Spirit, Money.</p>
<p>Life&#8217;s Big Four.  Life&#8217;s four big decision areas.</p>
<p>All day long we make decisions around these four very simple concepts of mind, body, spirit and money. Mostly unaware.</p>
<p>Having answers to critical questions empowers us with a peace that is unknown to people still searching.</p>
<p>What they are searching for and why they pass by the obvious, is understandable and it is also sad. Humans are conditioned to complicate life. Complicated does not get us closer to peace.</p>
<p>Only discernment, organization and finally, determination to be focused and disciplined.</p>
<p>I know well. It&#8217;s taken me 50 years to figure it out.  Ok, I&#8217;m slow. But also determined.</p>
<p>There is hope for you and your dreams. If you&#8217;ve heard it once, you&#8217;ve heard it a million times &#8211; there is no shortcut.</p>
