How Much Drive And Desire Is Enough?

Midlife Crisis or Midlife Celebration. Change is the only winning strategy.

So then how much drive and desire is enough? In our (assumed) quest for personal leadership excellence, do we pursue what’s easier to do and what we like to do, or do we work ridiculously (and continually) hard at having a balanced approach?

What if a business didn’t focus on these five: Leaders, Employees, Customers, Financials, Innovation? What if they were good at two, three or even four, but deficient at the other(s). Now apply that to our personal life: Mind, Body, Spirit, Money, HQ. How much is enough?

Anyone can have and demonstrate passion

jeff noel took this photo a year ago in Seattle while out for a pre-dawn run. As an Orlando-based motivational speaker, jeff must be creative to maintain work life balance. What caught jeff’s eye was the simple element most everyone else misses – passion.

The person (or company) that placed these signs is passionate about junk cars. Their vision for their business, their drive, tenacity, perseverance – unmistakable. People think only fortune 500’s have this in their DNA. Ha!

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.

jeff noel wants to look back with no regrets in case something bad ever happens

Mid Life Celebration began so quietly and humbly in 2009. The growth in visits, hits, page views – mind boggling. A father’s desire to leave a trail for his young son was the critical momentum needed to honor a 30-year promise to write a book about life for his kids.

Well, jeff noel has only one “kid” (11). And his trail is 4,500 posts long, or about 900 for each of Life’s Big Choices – Mind, Body, Spirit, Money and HQ. A trail long enough and balanced enough to resonate with many others.
