The fine line between being lifted up and being a target

We met in 2009 at the National Speaker’s Association (NSA) Winter conference held at Walt Disney World and there was something special about Omekongo that you could simply feel in his presence.

Now it’s becoming clearer. This was a High School commencement speech he delivered the year before we met.

 

 

There’s a fine line between confidence and humility for an aspiring entrepreneur hoping to put a dent in the Universe.

Never succumb to the constant temptation to conform.

This is exactly what the herd is trying to do, not let you get ahead to the greener pasture.

Being the CEO of our life has far reaching ramifications

Everyone in this airport is the CEO of their life and this has far reaching ramifications

 

Heard a really important, heavily influential, highly seasoned and decorated executive say that making others uncomfortable is part of being a leader.

Couldn’t help but wonder if it also applied from subordinates to the higher-ups.

Everyone is a leader because everyone is the CEO of their life.

Think about it for a second.

It’s probably one or the other for all of as we travel through life

Spaceship Earth
Hometown = Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow

 

It’s one or the other for us as we travel through life attempting something incredibly lofty:

  • our efforts will change our life
  • our efforts were the biggest waste of our time

Faith, reason, and hard work are never a 100% guarantee.

There are only two regrets in life:

  1. We didn’t try hard enough and failed
  2. We tried too hard and wasted our resources

Life is hard.

And full of uncertainty.

Be intentional which ever way we choose. No?

No more simply asking for money

The simple concept of reciprocity seems fair

 

Would a decent paradigm shift be that in exchange for a ‘donation’ something tangible would be given to the donor?

No more simply asking for money.

Rather an exchange – we help them, they help us.

This is the model Mid Life Celebration is moving forward with.
