Happy present moment

Deep breath.

Exhale.

Smile…

Happy present moment.

Not sure if anyone ever made ‘happy present moment’ a saying. i did years ago. To this day it is a ‘go to’, suitable every day, all day.

Many years ago at Golds Gym, and many “Happy New Year” salutations ago, i asked Fred Drew (long time Disney colleague) for help with a dilemma. Some Gym members, because of our busy schedules, hadn’t been in the gym when i am there, since ‘last year’. In February, i’m still wishing those people i hadn’t seen since ‘last year’ a Happy New Year. In February, it seemed weird. Shared the weirdness with Fred. And by the way, Fred asked, “Are you a Buddhist?” Our relatively brief, but consistent gym conversations gave him this impression. Interestingly enough, Fred suggested i say to the gym regulars i had’t seen since ‘last year’, Happy present moment.

It stuck.

It’s prefect.

Year round.

Prioritize your processes

Prioritize your processes.

Huh?

Look at how this naturally flows as a priority process…

Choices. Actions. Consequences. Reflect. Improve. Repeat.

As a ladder…

Choices.

Actions.

Consequences.

Choices. Actions. Consequences.

Reflect.

Improve.

Repeat.

Reflect. Improve. Repeat.

Hybrid self-care

There was a time in my life when i thought life was unfair. i was wrong. Life is fair. The fairness is that it’s unfair to everyone.

This realization suffocated the excuses i lied about to myself.

College priorities

mountains
Continental Divide is always nearby. Bishops Cap, right horizon.

Go to college and learn something you can only learn in a college community.

Act

lone tree with mountain in distance
Such a beautiful tree. Basking in early Autumn sun. Heaven’s Peak, as grand as it is, is almost invisible. The tree takes our focus off of what appears inconsequential in the distance – perhaps only a dark sky.

You cannot build a reputation based on what you’re gonna do.

Grand intentions, with inadequate action, is what turns people sour on life: belief, faith, commitment, and purpose.

Why?

Because intent is not action.

Act.

Like you mean it.

And i know you mean it.

How?

You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t.
