Overcome-able?

Mid Life Celebration the book — Get honest with yourself.

Can you name off some things that you want as badly as your next breath?

What are you doing to make them happen?

Need honest feedback and encouragement to transform?

Please know these generalized truths…

Don’t expect anyone to be honest with you if you’re not willing to be honest with yourself.

Don’t expect anyone to be honest with you if you’re not honest with anybody else.

Now that this is on your radar…

Can you taste how your life will be transformed when you are honest with yourself, and everyone else?

What is holding you back from being honest with yourself?

Are those things real or imagined?

Are they overcome-able?

A different neighbor will be shut down

musical stage being erected in a field — You can see our subdivision behind the U-Haul truck.

A Church tucked into a geographically residential area.

Churches and church-goers, by default, are respectful. Literally to a fault.

A geographically residential area buffeted from commercial areas by progressively higher and lower density subdivisions. Housing density rises the closer you get to commercial areas and lowers the farther you move away from commercial.

Our subdivision sits across from a 400-acre Nature preserve.

Last night’s three-hour long (not counting two-hours of assorted sound checks and rehearsals) outdoor Christmas Concert was utterly disrespectful to the residential neighbors on the other side of the chain link fence.

Separate yourself from the source and the context and ask a few objective questions:

Does the noise exceed residential zoning standards?
Does the noise last for hours?
If this was a resident in your subdivision, or an adjacent subdivision, would the police shut them down?

Three easy yeses.

Rather than call the police like i did recently, grace was extended.

With a caveat.

To followup with Pastor Chuck January 3.

Will pose the three objective questions (from above) to him.

You win either way

Disney Customer Service consultant and teacher — An expert guide knows the landscape better than anyone. How? From deep and broad experience. From teaching others. From living in purpose – to help others do what they think is impossible.

You win either way.

Whether you hire Jeff to help guide your Organizational Vibrancy journey or decide you can guide yourself, you are investing wisely.

The Disney Leadership Chain of Excellence is the treasure map, the true North, the time-tested, world-class methodology for becoming a category of one, for earning and strengthening your competitive immunity.

Be amazed and be amazing.

Over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

This is the way.

Start living

Steve Jobs — Don’t be gone too soon. You, don’t be gone too soon.

Start living a life that doesn’t revolve around earning a paycheck.

It’s harvest time.

You only pass this place once.

Bank on these simple, key, repeatable messages.

Things you are not supposed to do

shadows on a big leaf — Do not look at the shadows is what we hear when we are constantly focused on the colorful flowers.

Things you are not supposed to do:

Do not challenge tradition and dogma.
Do not blog daily for 13 consecutive years, let alone five differently-themed blogs a day.
Never compete on price.
Do not do things that most people won’t like.
Do not crave failure.
Do not reinvent things if it will embarrass or piss-off a lot of people.
Do not live with regret.
Do not live without ever coming fully alive.

Perfect score, zero out of eight.
