Squawking Is So Annoying

You know the ones. The complainers. Do they make you laugh?

They should. Why?

In case you’ve ever wondered, of the five daily blogs I write, Mid Life Celebration is the most popular with jungle jeff and jeffnoel.com trading places for second.

Lane 8 and jeffnoel.org are the two, understandably, that follow the top three. Physical responsibility and spiritual responsibility seem to get the least focus in real life too.

Infinite Combinations of Nothing Is Impossible

What if they had teamed up instead of battling?

Picture Seth Godin and jeff noel collaborating on a book.

Or, the Pope….

Your expectations are not high enough.

Today’s post at this blog illustrates this concept.

But before you go to Lane 8, let me ask you, what do you picture yourself doing?

Consequence Or Advantage?

Intuitively, or maybe stereotypically, accountability is thought of as a consequence.

Counter-intuitively, accountability should be thought of as your competitive advantage.

Bloom Where You Are Planted

You are untapped potential!
