Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker
One million+ people globally while at Disney Institute.
This can be scary, a blank sheet of paper. Not as scary as last night’s traditional “ghost and goblin” Halloween traditions. But scary nonetheless.
In today’s world, it’s more like a white (blank) page on a blog.
The pressure of the clock. The fifth of five daily blogs. The thought of writing something just to write to fill up the space.
Scary?
Yes, and sometimes, necessary. Carpe diem.
“Hearing something 100 times is not as good as seeing it once”. — Japanese proverb
“It’s not the material things in life that are important”. Most of us have heard this so many times we’ve lost track, right?
If we know this to be true, that material things aren’t the important thing, why do we work so hard to get so much stuff? That’s what I want to know.
I’d like to take a risk and ask you readers to leave a comment with your take on this human dilemma. Happy Halloween.
Why? Because becoming hysterically funny (in addition to being uncommonly insightful and off the hook fast), would only lead to fame and fortune. While this would appear, to most people, to be a good thing, it’s actually a catch-22.
Jimmy Buffett, in one of his clever songs, sings, “I don’t want the fame that brings confusion. Where people recognize you on a plane“.
Tiger Woods responded this way when I asked him last year, “Do you ever get tired of being famous”? – “Since day one”, he answered, matter-of-factly.
But the other day, a seed was planted fertilized when a Google Alert for “Mid Life” led me to this funny blog by Tia – Clever Girl Gone Blog.
Just Sunday, at a meeting, I mentioned that my blog posts (1,300–ish in six months) aren’t particularly funny, even though in real life, I am. Inspiring? Fairly. Funny? Not so much. I’ll work on it as time permits. Ok?
Meanwhile, just wanted to say thanks for following. Carpe diem.
Living close to The Walt Disney World Resort and all the Disney Theme Parks has certain benefits. How could it not?
One of them is the opportunity to visit often. Having a pass that lets you visit any day of the year, all year, is one of the coolest things.
With the cooler Central Florida temperatures arriving, locals with annual Disney Passes are enjoying Disney Parks more often. Just like my Family has been doing.
Same thing that makes Thursdays GREAT! EVERYTHING!!!
Happy Friday. There are many people who can’t wait for Friday. Why? Because they can escape from work. As if work were some sort of prison.
Yikes. I’ve been there too. I mean, seriously, at 50, I’ve been around the block a time or two.
Here’s a simple wish for all of us. While we may be tempted to complain (an endless list perhaps), let us rise above that and not.
Would you rather be dead? Because that would put an end to all the complaining now wouldn’t it? Then would people be happy? I say be obsessively THANKFUL that you are alive and have what you have. it could be worse, and for many people in other parts of our World, it is.
