President Obama’s speech writers get this concept too.

(dialogue below: note from a retirement party attendee)
Jeff,
So great to see you and your beautiful family!! You inspired me the day we met (1999) and you inspired me again at your retirement party. You truly are unlike anyone else – and I mean that in the best way. Attitude and the Power of Positivity is always present with you and an ongoing challenge for me and many others. Being in your presence always brightens my day. Thank you for sharing your many gifts, talents and treasures. I’m a better person because I have been so fortunate to work with you and be friends with you!
I love ya man!! Oh Captain my Captain!!
Best wishes on your continued journey.

The weather was a perfect metaphor. It was stormy. Cloudy. Torrential rain. The opposite of the perfect party weather. Unusual for Central Florida.
Such is life.
Make the best of whatever comes our way.
And along the way, be incredibly organized so no matter what happens, you can deal with it in joy and gratitude.
We didn’t get to spend a fraction of the time we could have out on Disney’s Contemporary Resort observation decks, which provide the best views in the entire 40+ square mile complex.
But we were still in the Napa Room. 🙂

There’s no place like home. Is our home heaven or hell?
Who decides?
Trick question.
We know who decides.
How do we see far enough into the future to prepare for whatever life deals us?
When do we make time to see into the future?
When do we make decisions that are difficult but important?
Because this is so challenging, we wait.
Waiting and doing nothing are the twin siblings of self destruction.

So much stress and pressure in the world.
Can you feel it?
What if we didn’t exercise regularly? And what if we weren’t decently organized? Or what if we were influenced by too many negative thoughts and people? What if our spirit felt lacking or empty. What if we didn’t like our job.
So yeah, the pressure and stress?
Palpable.
