Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Ever heard the phrase, “Everybody is in sales”?
Disagree if you’d like, but ignoring this fact does not change it – everybody is in sales. Period.
Sales is the transfer of enthusiasm.
If you want to “sell” others (aka evangelization), you should be filled with enthusiasm yourself.
Your personal enthusiasm is your greatest “sales tool” for Christian life, and the biggest reason people don’t want to buy.
Building on yesterday’s jeff noel blog post…..
Blogging every day, and posting on the Internet for the world to see, adds an element of risk few people can comprehend.
Why?
Because anyone, and I do mean anyone, can “see what you think” – can “see what you value”.
There is also a saying in life, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained”. Risk has it’s own rewards.
Are you determined to find out what they are? Carpe diem.
One of the benefits to blogging every day is going through the process of what to write and how to write it. Only people who “journal” or “write a diary” daily can fully appreciate this phenomenon.
And, if I do say so myself, the process of posting it on a public Internet blog for the world to see, adds an untapped benefit that “private writers” have yet to discover.
The daily act requires more effort than occasional blogging, in my opinion. Over time, your creativity and your topics could dry up. Plus, you really have to think long and hard about what you value. And if you ever expect people to “follow your path”, you have to know and study your audience.

The key to motivation, in my humble opinion, is elusive. Know why?
Because most of us don’t have the patience to analyze the question long enough to find the simple answer.
Know what the simple answer is?
A compelling purpose.
It’s profoundly simple. And, simply profound.
Like what my Doctor told me when he said I needed to focus on only two things to lower my cholesterol. Know what those two simple things are?
I know you know. It’s two things and everybody knows. You don’t have to go to medical school to know this. It’s too simple to require an education.
Drum roll please…..
Diet and exercise.
Motivation?
Find a compelling purpose in life. You’ll be so motivated, it will be mind-blowing.
Until you start to hit the obstacles life throws our way.
This is why simple doesn’t mean easy.
Good luck out there today. Hope you stay focused, even when life is throwing you sucker punches. Learn how to fight back.
Motivation is the best defense against a tough opponent. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
What do you think?
If it isn’t hard work, what could it possibly be?
If you’ve been to Lane 8, you know that I’m working on becoming the slowest of the fastest.
If you ever do surf around at Lane 8, you’ll see a different piece of the tapestry of this puzzle I call life.
Bottom-line for me, in my 50 years of life – Hard Work Is The Key To Success!
Have a great week. I know I will. And you can bet I’ll be working hard. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
