30 to 50!

Today is November 13, 2014...30 days from my 50th birthday on December 12th.    No, I am not fishing for birthday presents or fanfare...I get uncomfortable with too much attention (go figure!).    It does make me take time to pause and reflect on the time I have spent here on earth...and the many years I expect to remain!   So, if you please, no black balloons or "over the hill" remarks and I promise not to say that "50 is the new 40" or that "age is only a number".   I am much more introspective than that.    I want to take the next 30 days of crumbs to review life...my life.  Narcissistic?  No.  Am I that extraordinary and special?  Yes!   So are you.   As I take a look at the last 50 years; the people who shaped me, the events that changed me, and battles that molded me, I want you to see your life through the lens of my life.    Something tells me we have much more in common than sales.  Something that is common to all of us...time, trials, triumphs and tears.   Over the next 30 days, I want to take you on a journey of self-discovery.  I want you to reflect on where you have been and what you have done.  I want to help you investigate who you are, what you are here to do and how you will make your impact on the world.   I want to help you celebrate the victories behind you and press toward the mark of new breakthroughs that are in front of you.  I want to help you forgive yourself for past mistakes, remove present doubts and fears and move from the comfort zone into the "no limit zone".    Let's play a good ole-fashioned game of "Truth or Dare"...face the truth about yourself and dare to be who you were designed and destined to be.   For some of you, this will be a rescue mission to pull you out of captivity of negative and limiting thoughts.  For others, it will be an exploration into uncharted territory as you reach the edge of your comfort zone.  For others, it will be a re-engineering and re-boot of your life.  For others...a wake up call.   For me...cathartic. Trying to help you master your life makes me honestly review mine.  No shame and no ego...for this to work, I have to be "raw and real" daring to tell truths only a few people know...    One things seems to be true about 50...you care less about what people think!    A lot can happen in 30 days.  No promises.  It will take both our commitments to retrospection and introspection.  I am ready.   Are you?   Not a countdown, but throw down!  Get ready to throw down everything that holds you down as we have...   30 to 50!  I have never asked for you to promote me or this daily blog, but for the next 30 days, forward this link (using the "Forward to a Friend" link below) to send this to anyone who is stuck, searching, or needing a word of encouragement.  I promise not to sell them anything...except the power of themselves.  Thank you!    Until tomorrow, I wish you Money, Power, Success!
