A metric that is difficult to comprehend. Impossible to appreciate.

A completely different morning than usual. Do we love when that happens, or does it completely derail our routine?

Truth be told, every day is non-typical in the corporate world for many people. No different here. Tonight’s speech is 6-8pm in downtown Orlando.

Imagine speaking to one million people over the 15 years and never once mentioning being an author, nor even the slightest mention of being The Internet’s Only Five-A-Day Blogger

Can you imagine the temptation? The opportunity?

Bottom line – never.

Ever.

A metric that is difficult to comprehend. Impossible to appreciate.

My idea of fashion is simple. Functional. Clean. Old or new doesn’t matter. Faded, cut off jeans. No shirt. Uncombed hair. Clean sweat. Genuine smile. Twinkle in the eye. Fashion is way more than clothes.

And for professional demeanor? Simple. Just one thing. Authenticity.

Authenticity.

Something challenging to define, but can be felt almost immeadiately.

Rare.

Hence valuable.

And… fashionable.

Trendsetting?

All opinions on all Mid Life Celebration, LLC’s websites, are and have always been, this kind.

Personal.

My personal opinions should never, in any way, be misconstrued nor interpreted as that of my full-time employer.

That being said, I work on the coolest, most innovative, passionate, talented, dedicated, fun, caring, forward-thinking, game-changing, and influential team of people one could hope to work with.

Feeling blessed.

And inspired.

And lucky.

Because the herd follows the same direction, we accept this

Motivational quote on living without regret
Who wants to be the richest person n the graveyard?

 

When we stop climbing to feed our need for self worth in title and pay, we start climbing to feed our need for authenticity and contribution.

Because the herd follows the same widely accepted, well worn direction, we accept this as normal and follow along.

That getting ahead requires us to be better than the others vying for the same position.

And the only way to stand out – to be selected – is to shine brighter than our peers.

This creates a prison cell for small, justifiable deceit to flourish in our soul.

And it insidiously compromises our authentic self.
