Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff noel — The hypothesis to the Disney Difference. It’s the way i summarize it.

mountains — Know how to be the only one on the trail to take a photo like this on of Glacier’s most popular trails? Over-focus on what the other hikers under-focus on or ignore. Easy-peasy (for everything in life) once over-focusing becomes a habit.

Be an artist in your own home.
dad

Aging should bestow wisdom.

But only if you over-focus on aging.

Over-focusing on aging in our home life means you are intentional where others are less intention, or completely ignorant, on pursuing home vibrancy.

At home, we reap what we sow.

Eye surgery business card — Need to pick a cataract surgeon. One of two Dr Kumar referrals.

dad

Like i say in my first book, (paraphrasing) “Remember your childhood dreams? Maybe you should dust one of them off and go for it.”

three people at an outdoor dinner table — Finished the day with dinner 200 meters from the South Pacific.

Personal vibrancy demands never getting bored with life’s basics.
dad

Simple…

Never get bored with the basics.

Simple.

Simple doesn’t mean easy, but it does mean simple.

Life’s basics are habitually achieved by changing why, what, and how.

Habitually, meaning a habit that is automatic, repetitious.

The hard part is undoing a habit.

Focusing as much on undoing the present as you focus on creating the future.

Three people in front of restaurant sign — We are two weeks into our own adventure.

Uber screen — Our return ‘flight’ to the apartment.

Small birthday celebration at restaurant table — Celebrating our adventure.

Regret sucks.
dad

Regret sucks.

Regret is unavoidable.

Then one day, you reach a fork in life’s road.

One path is ongoing life regret.

One path is over-focusing on intentionally eliminating regret.

Insight: Aim for perfection, settle for excellence. Meaning, while alleviating regret isn’t eliminating regret, alleviating is better than not alleviating regret.
