Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Idiot idealists, right?
Love them or hate them, if big dreams didn’t exist, the refrigerator never would have been invented. Or the car. Or books.
That echo that we hear, “Don’t go chasing crazy dreams, you’ll only end up being disappointed.”
Paradoxically, there’s the disappointment of regret.
It’s your call.
Good luck.

Hidden in Steve’s 45-second video message is this insight: People no smarter than us have shaped life as we know it. Nothing excludes us from doing this except one thing – belief.
Here’s to the crazy ones.
Actions speak louder than words. And no one ever builds a reputation on what they’re going to do.
When we’re stuck, we slow down. Our focus gets blurry. And without focus we slowly become unmotivated.
This breeds a personal contempt that helps the cycle feed on itself. The key to starving this beast is to find or claim your purpose in life.
Without purpose, hope fades.
With purpose, hope feeds desire and desire feeds forward progress.
Moving forward feeds on itself and life is good again.

Crazy man thinks he’s the luckiest Dad in the world: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgaoWBWVNZo
Says he’s the Best Dad in the entire Universe.
It’s time for a complete 180 degree turn from the jungle jeff “seriousness”. It’s time for complete nonsense and a laugh or two. You good with that?
Who doesn’t like to laugh? Humans were born with certain predispositions. Laughing is near the top of everyone’s list.
Love or hate American Idol, it doesn’t matter to me. I love it for a few compelling reasons, which aren’t listed here. And what started my loyalty to the show was Simon Cowell’s “brutal honesty”.
If for no other reason, we tuned in week after week to watch him be honest. It was a time when I really needed a role model for “brutal honesty”. Was desperate for it myself and didn’t know how to get it.
So, by watching Simon, we got to see the power – the magic – of brutal honesty.
I actually saw watching American Idol as leadership training. Most others saw it as entertainment.
Brutal honest is essential for world-class results. You could see in the contestant’s eyes, and their body language that Simon’s feedback was the most important of all.
Even if it hurt.
These people were trying to be the best in the world. The next ‘common person’ to sell millions of songs. Millions. Can you comprehend that?
Simon would say what everyone else was thinking but no one had the guts to say. This intrigued me. This motivated me. It also made me laugh.
In March 2009, just ten short months ago, I made a promise – a 100-day challenge.
Have you ever made important promises, big promises, promises that you could almost taste the life-changing benefits?
Some call it dreaming big dreams. Walt Disney, one of my heroes, was like that. But Walt Disney also had something different.
He had drive. And Walt Disney did what he set out to do. And Walt turned a deaf ear to the multitudes who called him crazy.
Walt Disney did things others said were impossible. When I set out to write five daily blogs for 100 days, not even I could imagine what it’s turned into.
Here we are, not 50 blog posts later, not 100, not 500 blog posts later, not 1,000 either, but over 1,500 blog posts – in ten short months.
It is quite literally a Five-A-Day Blogger explosion.
