Dear Son – Page 67 – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

First time for up and back?

(No photo today)

Traveling in back to back weeks caused some flashbacks.

It’s so easy to get used to the grind of being on the road, sleeping by yourself in a hotel room, and being away from your Family.

i’m so grateful these back-to-back travel weeks aren’t normal anymore.

During the decade of frequent travel with Disney Institute, i dreamt of a different lifestyle.

Driving three miles to watch the High School Track practice on any given afternoon, in a weirdly surreal way, is like hitting the lottery.

Just because it’s difficult

motivational saying — Start with self. Do this to yourself, for yourself.

Just because it’s difficult is no reason to quit.

In fact, it’s the perfect reason to double down on your efforts.

Because it’s tough is exactly why we have no choice but to press on.

Caring determination

motivational doors — Last night was full of inspiration and intentionality.

Without all the photos i took last night, it would be difficult to remember all the things that really inspired me and the others touring the facility.

Was reflecting on my first camera as a seven-year-old boy. The local gas station gave away a plastic camera (that required 35mm film) for a full-tank fillup.

Been a shutter-bug ever since.

Wisdom Day 2017

Halos — Lunch appetizer after returning home from biking and gym.

All Fruit spread — All Fruit is made without added sugar and no high fructose corn syrup.

milk and water — All i drink is water and milk.

Wisdom Day began March 6, 2017.

That was yesterday. Last night to be exact.

Made sure to create a calendar event entitled “Wisdom Day for Chapin”.

Last night’s conversation was significant. Chapin was on point, articulate, and grounded.

He also surprised me by saying, “The photos and written descriptions don’t align with who you are.”

Everything he said made sense and was spot on.

i told him to remember this day.

This is the day your wisdom begins for you.

PS. i posted all those photos (above) on facebook yesterday. That alone was not bad, what was misaligned was my motivation for posting them. It leaned to the side of sarcastic humor.

i removed all the photos and updates.

It was the right thing to do, even if Chapin was the only one who probably noticed.

Nevertheless, Disney Magic happened anyway

Mickey Mouse Tie and Statue — Couple days ago on a trip.

The odds of bumping into a (legal) Mickey Mouse statue on a college campus were slim to zero.

Odds of it happening outside of California or Florida, and wearing a Mickey Mouse tie?

Definite zero.

Nevertheless, Magic happened anyway.
