Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker
One million+ people globally while at Disney Institute.
Did you formulate an answer to yesterday’s question?
The correct answer is…drum roll please…..
Everything takes longer than you think it will.
Plan for this. Expect it and consider it your biggest competitor. We must learn to defeat it, or we will fail.
You know I’m talking to the person in the mirror, right?
Tomorrow, I’ll share what happens when you go a little farther than you think you can.
Ever catch yourself in a brief but compelling daydream? The kind where you’re sort of analyzing your life and taking an inventory of where you’ve been, where you are, and where you’re going?
How would you describe “your story” to someone you’ve just met?
What words would you use? What words do you wish you used? Wished you didn’t?
Does amazing show up? As the day (Oct. 17) approaches, and the 3,000th blog post milestone nears, I actually remove myself from the story and look at it in amazement.
What if it were one of you who was going to complete their 3,000 blog post in 18 months?
And, remember, you’re working a full time job, plus fulfilling all the usual duties of “responsible” adult.
Then the next question might be, “Why?”
To which you hear, “I’m having a Mid Life Celebration!”
Are you a dog person or a cat person?
Why?
Dogs require a master. Cats require a staff.
Happy Labor Day.
“A bad habit never disappears miraculously; it’s an undo-it-yourself project.” – Abigail Van Buren
Pauline Phillips, better known as Abigail Van Buren, wrote the syndicated “Dear Abby” column for 46 years.
What would happen to your life if every day (or nearly every day) you did one thing to become more organized, even if it was as small and seemingly insignificant as recycling or trashing something you haven’t touched in 11 years?
This is doable. But it will require you to rethink your normal routine.
Bucket lists.
Some have seen the movie or heard the phrase and understand the basic premise – to do some things we’ve always wanted to do, but have put off for various reasons.
This is prompted, mainly, because we get some challenging news and feel a sense of urgency.
If we don’t do it soon, we fear, we may never get the chance.
Is your bucket list long or short? What’s on your bucket list?
I’m stunned at how mine has completely changed from younger days.
When you look at your list, where is it focused?
On you?
Or on some greater purpose?
