Are you ready for a different look at everything that's important to you?Every human searches for meaning and purpose…
And in my search I've discovered the two most important days in every life........(more on that shortly)Welcome to an aggressively unfancy set of ideas.
Are you diggin' this amazing day? I don't think of carpe diem as a worn out cliche. I see it as a daily, moment-to-moment battle cry. Why should you even consider the two choices? Because life is not a dress rehearsal. If you'd like to be more in the moment and live like you mean it, everyday, then I invite you to read a brief bio below...Meet The Internet’s Only Five-A-Day Blogger (and America’s rising work life balance expert)
You've found the first modern day common man to crack the nut on work life balance. Hi, I'm jeff noel from Orlando, Florida. Every morning before my wife and son (11) wake up, I crank out five differently-themed blogs about life's big choices. Each post is short & pithy. Short because people are busy. Pithy because people need the truth. Been doing this for three years straight without missing a day. Crazy? Sure. But here's the thing - it's changed my life in unimaginable ways. Crazier still, I believe reading my five blogs may do the same for you.I’ve proven unimaginably better work life balance is possible.
The key? Life has five big choices. Not two or three, but five. So I don't (1) exercise, (2) pray, (3) think, (4) work, or (5) organize (my life) the way people say I should, or expect me to.In case you still don’t get it…I’m here to help.
I'm just a simple guy, aggressively unfancy, trying to help people (maybe you) live like they mean it!What’s in it for me?
The law of nature...you can not help another without simultaneously helping yourself. I'm an over-achiever like that.What’s in it for you?
If you hang around my five blogs, I guarantee you will begin to do one or more of three life changing things that no one else has been able to get you to do before: ReThink. RePrioritize. ReCommitWisdom comes from experience and experience comes from making mistakes…
A year from now you'll wish you had started today.The two most magnificent days in life…
The day we are born and the day we figure out ____. (the answer is in my blog content) If I tell you, you'll never understand. If you figure it out yourself, you'll never forget - and your life will never again be the same.Some comic relief:

Today’s Shocking News
Today’s shocking news. “You ain’t gonna live forever!” Shocking? Not in the usual sense of the word. Shocking because of how rampant and perverse is the notion that we don’t plan for our death. I mean, if you randomly asked … Continue reading

When’s Your Funeral?
Morbid thought or inspirational thought? Inspirational thought! Why? Because when we realize that tomorrow is not guaranteed, perhaps we will put more focus on today. Looks good on paper, but is incredibly elusive. The whole “live in the moment” thing … Continue reading

Olympic Village Experience
While the 2009 World Master’s Athletics Track & Field World Championships are a far cry from the real Olympics, in terms of times and distances, it’s very much the same in many other respects. Take last night. I’m in Sokos … Continue reading
