Cold and hungry

Jeff Noel blog post screen shot
Wrote this seven months ago. It published recently.

As the story goes, a well-established-career Willie Nelson was asked why he wasn’t writing classic songs like he used to.

He replied, “When I wrote those great songs I was cold and hungryI’m not cold and hungry anymore.”

Leaders must fight

Recently began watching. Intense. Watched Season 1, episode 7 last night.

Leaders must fight for what they believe in.

It’s a harsh reality that makes sense to me.

Has made sense since i was a kid.

You want to set the school record for the 440?

No one is gonna hand it to you (or any one).

You want it?

Prove it.

Fight like hell.

Note: Held the Spring Grove Area high school 440 record from 1977 through 2023.

What is that?

Forty-six years.

Note: Fought like hell but it never felt like a fight. It felt right.

Easy and ease, work

Work is easy.

Becoming an artist is hard.

Until it isn’t.

Becoming a category of one only happens when you have the ease to relentlessly .think .differently

And tirelessly and gratefully .do .differently

Summer solstice 2025, work

elementary school front entrance doors
East Glacier has enough people to support a small elementary school.

Dream big.

Get there.

Stay there.

Applies to everything, everyone, everywhere.

i birthed the three-part idea in 2009 as the tagline for Lane8.org

It’s the ‘stay there’ that throws humans.

Why?

Few of us have the bandwidth and motivation to make excellence last a lifetime. At least that’s what i’ve observed for 60+ years.

How much vision?

Disney University sign
This is the vision for every Cast Member at Walt Disney World.

How much vision?

Can vision be too lofty?

Can a vision be too small?

How do you know how to answer the previous three questions?

And does knowing how to answer one or more of the three questions mean you’re a Demigod?
