Think He Loves His Cage?
Feeling edgy this morning. Feelin’ edgy for a week.
Ever feel like that?
U2′s Desire is not one of my favorites, however, it really fits today. Click Desire.
Not the song, the feeling. Desire.
Desire to do what?

Can't Wait To Get Started!
Hello everyone. Are you still excited about 2010? Were you lying in your bed this morning wondering, “When is that alarm clock ever going to go off? Just bring it on!”
Funny isn’t? Or maybe it’s crazy. Can you imagine having something you can’t wait to get started on?
And so, I just re-read the big question from yesterday.
“How are you doing with your impossible goal?”
Finally

Bring On 2010
Finally.
Some will say, “Finally, 2009 is over.”
Some will say, “Finally, 2010 is here.”
Some may say both.
Where would you put yourself?
It seems, time and time again, it all comes down to attitude.
The Difference?

What's The Difference?
The difference between those that make the list and those that don’t, whether they be people, organizations, religions, cultures, ideas, patents, and so on, is this:
Here’s what it takes. And I’m well aware there will be people who disagree with this, and people who embrace it.
And if you don’t have it, you will always be following people who do. Here’s the difference:
Passion!
That’s it.
Passion. The secret ingredient. The difference.

jeff noel Hates Vacation
December 19, 2009 by 2 Comments
Okay, so I made that up. But you know there are some people who actually hate vacation, because vacation takes them away from their medicine.
Huh? Yes, their medicine. As a workaholic myself, from a long line of workaholics, being busy and then suddenly not being busy, well, you can almost see the panic rush in.
And honestly, I’m having a moment right now that has me wondering, “How bad is my disease?” Today is the first day of a two-week vacation.
How will I function if I don’t have anything pressing at work?
Just for the record, I do NOT hate vacation, but here is the short list of things jeff noel does hate:
- Mosquitoes
- Cock Roaches
- Termites
- Whiners

Ain’t much in life guaranteed, is there? Death and taxes, to be sure.
Death.
That’s the one.
What a beautiful gift death should be.
Just like what a beautiful gift birth should be.
And the beautiful gift of the part called “life” – in between the two.
And here’s one more thing that’s guaranteed – life will be difficult.
Guaranteed.
And this simple fact presents us with the most glorious opportunity known to humankind.
Carpe diem.

We are never so poor we don’t have something to give.
We are never so rich we don’t have something to receive.
Ever thought about that?
For me, not too much, until our Priest shared it on Sunday. But I wrote it down, it was that powerful, in that moment.
Later, it hit me. It reminds me of who we are as human beings.
And then, humbly, it helped me process why writing five-a-day daily blogs is now an important part of my life.
Are you doing all you can?
