If you’re smart

7-second video: 2nd video (ever) on new iPhone, less than 24 hours after activating it.

If you’re smart, you’ll keep learning. Learning like a toddler.
dad

Toddlers are sponges.

They are insatiable learners.

And so it goes.

Remember your roots.

Will it be Magic?

5-second video: Getting there…

Magic is simply unexpected delight.
dad

Magic is not hard to create. There are unlimited ways to exceed someone’s expectations.

Come to think of it, my signature Disney Customer Service keynote unpacks the recipe.

Cruel, glorious world

5-second video: Final 1883 episode. Superb. It ain’t for everyone. In my opinion, it’s for people who are living now, not waiting for later to start living.

5-second video: Simple pleasures as you walk around your yard.

There’s only one time it’s okay to lie. If someone’s life depends on it.
dad

Son, humans crave honesty.

The paradox, similar to the extra mile vs the extra inch…or midlife crisis vs midlife celebration, is this:

Humans crave honesty but…

Humans aren’t honest.

Nor do humans want the truth.

Why?

The truth hurts.

No one wants to hurt another, nor do they want to be hurt.

The truth can set you free.

This is truth’s purpose – freedom.

Freedom scares the crap out of people.

Why?

Because every decision, every effort, every result – you’re on the hook for it.

Most people are too weak to be strong enough to break free.

i know this simply because i’ve lived it.

Your home life brand

Tim McGra Ticket order — Saw Tim in the late 1990’s.

Humble Servant.
dad

The above quote is my vision in life. It’s what i strive to be. Every day. All day.

Vision is what you want ‘to be’.

Mission is what you need ‘to do’.

Brand is what you want others (and yourself) ‘to feel’.

Post Op Day 22, home

21-second video: Perspective on where we’ve come from. And before this house, we were on a $7,500 lot and a $39,000 starter house. True story. Felt like we hit the lottery. Both making minimum Disney wage. One car and one bicycle. Thirty-miles one way to work.

Autopilot can be transformational and glorious.
dad

Habits drive results.
