Belly out. Back straight. Shoulders down.
You were born with it.
Where did it go?

Make it happen
Remember how much you used to like ski trips? Or playing summer softball? Or going to concerts?
You still like that stuff.
It’s just that you used to make it happen.
Vitamix Giveaway
Friends,
My website, Life is NOYOKE, is running a Vitamix giveaway. No strings attached.
Grand prize is a Brushed Stainless Vitamix, valued at $349.
You’re welcome.
Less restrictive, more effective
The Paleo Diet was just ranked last on a “best diets” list, mostly due to its restrictiveness.
If only there was a modified Paleo Diet. One where you could eat peanut butter. One where you could eat any food, any amount on Saturdays.
Oh, yeah. Lifeisnoyoke.
All year round
Remember snow days? We all had a few growing up.
Remember what you did to celebrate?
Do more of that stuff.
Need, don’t
Need silence to write? Don’t write around people.
Need to stop drinking Diet Coke? Don’t be around soda.
Need to read more? Don’t have a TV in your bedroom.
Getting what you need is easy. Don’t you know?
Story selling
Mainstream Boutique doesn’t sell garments. Apple doesn’t sell functionality. Vitamix doesn’t sell power.
That’s what inferior companies do.
The superior ones sell a story.
What story are you selling?
Your 2014
My best advice for 2014? Don’t listen to people’s advice.
But if you must:
- Give some advice.
- Rescue a dog.
- Go for a run.
- Give up cable.
- Give up Facebook.
- Steam broccoli.
- Make soup.
Anything less specific, more challenging or takes more time is bad advice.
New year, no fear
Twenty years ago, I had no clue where I’d be today. Today, I have no clue where I’ll be in twenty years.
Did the future scare me? Yes.
Does it still today? Yep.
Should it have? Should it still? No way.
Happy New Year.
By definition
People learn to ignore.
- Husbands to nagging.
- Children to preaching.
- Internet surfers to email subscription requests.
If your mother, an old book or a blog post told you so, it might have worked in the past. And it might work for a bit. But eventually, people learn to ignore.
And if you ignore that, you’re, by definition, insane.
