Leaving a trail for our son – Page 6 – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Sell me on how, home

home office — Bead jar, 2017…one year of (52) beads remaining before emptying.

Jack the Bear — Jack was my Dad’s name. Our Son never met his grandfather. Our planned 1st trip back to Spring Grove, as parents, was planned two months too late. My dad died suddenly two months before our planned trip.

Jack, our Son's teddy Bear in Kuwait. — Omar Nour, TEDxAUK (American University of Kuwait) speaker one. Here, he’s having fun with Jack during our group AV check.

i had to sell myself on why i should transform my life.

Why?

Because it was an overwhelming proposition. For anyone.

Then, a few years into my Disney Institute and parenthood careers, it hit me.

What if i ran my life the way Disney runs Disney.

If Disney ran my life…

Mind, body, spirit, work, home.

If Disney ran my mind.
If Disney ran my body.
If Disney ran my spirit.
If Disney ran my work.
If Disney ran my home.

The selling was easy.

Thank goodness.

Yee-haa!

This website is about our HOME. This is the fifth of five daily, differently-themed blog posts about: (1) mind, (2) body, (3) spirit, (4) work, (5) home. To return to Mid Life Celebration, the site about MIND, click here.

Get busy living, home

Disney's Leadership Chain of Excellence — Disney’s Leadership Chain of Excellence makes perfect sense. Now, apply it to personal vibrancy: mind, body, spirit, work, home.

Dylan (Bob) said, “He who is not busy being born, is busy dying.”

Spring Break is a time for celebration and relaxation.

At some point if we’re lucky, we’ll have a personal reckoning.

Perhaps the proverbial midlife crisis.

Perhaps some other untimely crisis.

And if we’re exceptionally lucky, we’ll intentionally force these personal reckonings as we travel through life.

Why?

To proactively trust but verify that our life’s priorities are in ‘perfect-sense” order.

Much easier to manage a small fire than a forest fire.

Memory a day, home

Sanibel sunrise years ago. Often, we are not positioned to see the sun directly. No worries. The sky is the academy award winning supporting actor.

Are you making a memory a day at home?

A memory a day with your priorities?

A memory a day for your final exit?

Well done, good and faithful servant.

Watching “The Madison”, home

Glacier National Park — Organized pretty well at Glacier Park Lodge in the town of East Glacier.

Disney Keynote Speaker — GNP. Many Glacier Hotel and two Floridians struggling to stay warm in July, 2018.

Glacier Boat Company boats — GNP. The Joy II, on St Mary Lake in Glacier National Park seats about as many Guests as Disney’s World-Famous Jungle Cruise boats hold.

Watching “The Madison” on Paramount…

Masterclass.

Leadership.

Priorities.

Trailer.

Spring break, home

Eiffle Tower — First look…Spring 2012. In France for Disney Institute client engagement at Disneyland Paris.

Spring break is a priority for many college students.

Why?

A tradition.

An adventure.

A rite of passage.

All of that and more.

It has become a priority for me (and Cheryl) for the same three reasons:

A retirement tradition.
A retirement adventure.
A retirement rite of passage.

Noteworthy is that college students recognize the fleeting opportunity and go after the opportunity with gusto.

Same here.

Even in retirement.

Especially in retirement.

Ps. We travel to Paris in four weeks for a two-week “Spring Break” adventure.
