Is It Too Difficult To Make Excellence A Daily Habit?

Did you catch the first sentence? A one-man cultural blitz. Why? Tebow has only one standard.

Culture is what people think and do, without thinking. Dear Son, because of your proximity to Walt Disney World, I can see you’re starting to comprehend where my constant focus and discipline comes from.

Is it too difficult to make excellence a daily habit? Not if you immerse yourself in a culture where excellence is the only acceptable standard.

The Side Benefit For Desiring To Be A Great Father Is That The Leadership Lessons Are Easily Transferable

The Leadership Wisdom of Jesus

I think this is where jeff noel got a little confused. The personal leadership lessons he was passing on to his son through stories, insights, pictures, videos, and real life experiences had a profound impact on the casual blog reader who stumbled upon Mid Life Celebration’s crazy, but balanced, look at life as having five big choices.

Leadership is tricky business. As Jesus said, give a man a fish and you feed him one day, teach him to fish and you feed him forever. jeff noel has never satisfied the hunger of a selfish beggar. Nor does he intend to. He aims to teach his son, and in the process, others, how to feed themselves.

Life Is Hard And You Only Get A Handful Of Miracles, The Rest Is Up To You

Incorporating Mid Life Celebration, LLC in 2009 is one of the most courageous things I’ve ever done.

Blogging in a way no one else does, not just with the 5 a day thing, but the content, goes against convention wisdom. (story of my life, eh)

You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one…

We witness only a few miracles in our lives. The miracles we don’t see include unanswered prayers. Never forget that. Miracles I thought would never happen:

  1. Marrying Cheryl 1983
  2. Buying land 5 minutes from Walt Disney World 1990
  3. Becoming a Dad 2000
  4. Founding an LLC 2009

Am interested to hear yours.

Do What You Need To Do But Know Upfront That jeff noel Hates Excuses

Really trying to help you here. Last few days have stirred up some fundamental truths:

  • You gotta want it, and want it bad (real bad)
  • You must have a purpose bigger than yourself
  • Know & accept that it may take a lifetime
  • You may never be able to rest on past success
  • You must be creative, bold
  • You must design a plan like no other you’ve tried

If you did the math in yesterday’s example, jeff noel’s first day of not drinking was on New Year’s Eve – the world’s biggest drinking day. I chose this by design.

Mediocrity-ville would have waited until New Year’s Day to begin. Go. Get started!

Painfully Simple: Everyday Or Not At All

Captiva Island, Florida general store, 2010….

When you tell me to stop, I’ll stop. Until then, here’s another example of leadership behavior – dreaming of a brighter future.

There are painful times in our lives when we must swallow a bitter pill – the truth.

Bottom line, I had two choices when it came to drinking, everyday, or not at all. December 30, 2001 was the last time.
