Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
September 11, 2001.
911, 9-11, 9/11. What has 911 taught you?
It has taught (or maybe re-taught) me the power of a hug. That there is never a better time than right now to give someone a hug. I hug more people, more often, even at work.
Remember how crowded (assuming you went) Church was that first Sunday?
Funny thing, I remember a lot of Christians sort of complaining about “all those people”.
And I quietly thought to myself, “This is the way Church ought to be every Sunday”.
Facebook thread today said, “You get what you give”.
In business and in life, you get what you give. We all know this yet sometimes we forget.
One of the reasons we forget is that as humans we are easily distracted, because we are so busy doing all the things humans do.
And occasionally, like now, we get on with surviving an economic tsunami.
Meanwhile, life passes by. I take solace in the fact that for 35 years, I have never faltered from trying to make my professional contribution exceptional.
Even if people are too busy too notice.
Einstein. Genius, right?
So you might be asking yourself, “What the heck does this jungle jeff guy know about life’s four big decisions”?
“A ton”! This doesn’t make me a genius, but not being a genius doesn’t make me not an expert.
So, however you found jungle jeff and for whatever reason(s) you stay, just want you to know that I am addicted to excellence.
This blog, written by me for me (and my son), may also benefit you.
A word of caution. I do not slow down so that people can keep up. If you are truly interested in excellence, you have to pay attention, a lot.
Ya with me? Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
This blog is for my son. Since it’s inception, it has always been for my son. Period.
People who know me well, are crystal clear that I do things purposefully.
And when it looks like the path I’m walking is leading away from where we’re headed, it’s only because heading away is the best path at the moment.
jungle jeff’s focus has always been on what I call the “money quadrant“.
Money is one of life’s big choices. There are only four big life choices.
More tomorrow. Meanwhile, carpe diem, jungle jeff :)
Why daily? “Seriously, you mean this doesn’t make immediate sense to you”?
Commonly known as a habit, doing something over and over eventually makes it routine. You knew that right?
So did I. And yet, the temptation, subconscious and conscious, to forget this fact is astronomical.
Which brings us back to doing daily feats of courage. “Yeah, jungle jeff, but do you practice what you preach”?
What I did yesterday consumed nearly the entire day.
I invested that time in pursuit of excellence and peace of mind. But it took courage. And I had a lot of it yesterday.
Huh? Exactly. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
