I have a special invitation for you. On Tuesday, September 29, 2009, my good friend and colleague will be holding a FREE 1 hour Webinar to talk about how to have greater success and be happier.

I know that times are tough and we are experiencing many changes. The timing has NEVER BEEN BETTER to look inside and re-evaluate everything in our lives. What do you really want in your life? How do you get from here to there? Your habits are the key.

During this FREE one hour Webinar, Mark F. Weinstein will be answering these questions and discussing the Seven Practices of Habitual Greatness, the key elements that will help you break the chains of the habits that are stopping you from having the life you want in all areas. He will also be previewing my brand new HABITUALLY GREAT Book Study program.

Turning 40 next year. I look 26 but I feel 40! I have just started working out so I look even younger. I don’t know what it is, but I do not like loud sounds, people, events, music. I like to spend time alone or with family. I am only concerned with me. I know it sound crazy, it may be a phase, but I love my time alone. When I was in my 30’s I could not get enough of the party, on the go, now I am home by 9:00pm. When will the fun hit me again?

I am turning 40 tomorrow and I am 17 weeks pregnant and all I keep thinking about is if I will see my daughters 40th birthday ( she will be 1 on Tuesday).

I never had an issue of getting older. Now all I want to do is cry when I look at myself in the mirror. I never thought a number would be so hard. I will be going to Disney tomorrow with my wonderful family and then planning my daughters very special birthday.

I hope this gets better.

I think it is very telling that there is a site started just two years ago called ‘turning40′. I think our generation is  “insistent”, in some ways, of not having the turning 40 stigma. I mean didn’t MTV just celebrate an anniversary?

I turn 40 in 5 days and I asked a bunch of people for a list of all the things I should do in the next 5 days that would be socially unacceptable for me to do after I turn 40. The only thing that came up was “take dirty pictures”.

I am very happy with how my life has turned out. However, one of my goals in life was to reach that point…. no matter WHERE I was in life at any given time. That’s all we all really want is to just be happy regardless of circumstances.

The only thing I am NOT happy with is my weight. I lift heavy weights alot so I have sort of a football player look to me, but, I do carry more fat than I want. But on the other hand, I think, WHY DO I CARE? I have the most amazing wife in the world, awesome kids, and a fun life. Why do I care if I’m ’sexy’? BFD! Right? Now I just have to convince myself of that.
