i quit sugar, including Polebridge specialties

The pastries? World-class.
The Disney Characters, world-class.

i quit sugar, including Polebridge specialties.

Wonder if Covid-19 is going to reveal the next thing i can quit (or start, or both).

Time will tell.

World-class thinking can be had if, and only if, you are willing to work hard enough, long enough, and deep enough.

A former Disney Institute boss, Wayne Gagne, wrote an annual Disney performance appraisal in which he said:

No one thinks deeper, reaches higher, works harder, or cares more than Jeff Noel.

Slow begets slow or…

Slow begets slow or…

Or is it something else?

Is it a pause that is so compelling that we cannot help ourselves.

Life hasn’t been this slow since i was a kid during hot Pennsylvania summers.

Maybe it’s the Universe’s way of telling me i’ve been moving faster than i thought and serious downshifting is a once-in-a-lifetime gift.

If today was your last day

Just finished a phone call while stepping onto the gym’s parking lot.

If today was your last day, a Nickelback song, just came on my iPhone.

And now Joe, Anytime Fitness personal trainer, asks me as i walk by, “How are you doing?”

If I was doing any better, i’d have to be twins to handle it all.

Then Joe smiles and says…

Man has two lives to live. His second occurs when he realizes he has one life to live.

If today was your last day…

Have never watched the Nickelback song video until now – recommend you take a look here.

Are you satisfied with your life’s pace?

Last night on LinkedIn. Busy executives are astounded on Undercover Boss. They were clueless about what happens on the front line. Why?

i’m defining ambition as a busy mind. We can also say that being consistently/constantly preoccupied defines ambition too.

My 60 years of research and study concludes that ambition of any kind accelerates the passage of time.

Moving too fast through life is a proven way to miss small, wonderful nuances of life. When was the last time you stopped to stare at the clouds and find cool cloud images?

Peace of mind feels elusive when our pace raises our stress levels too high for too long.

Peace of mind is only possible through:

  • Simplification
  • Clarity
  • Slowness
  • Becoming indistracable

Distraction is our human response to something uncomfortable. Highly-processed food snacking between meals. Facebook when we are bored or stressed. Watching TV or YouTube.
