Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker
One million+ people globally while at Disney Institute.
When is your funeral? No idea, right?
Exactly. None of us know.
And because, for most people, death is paralyzingly scary, we ignore it. As if it will go away if we don’t think about it.
I think about death everyday. This helps me appreciate the gift of life today and the opportunity to do the best I can.
Every day is a failure. Every day is a triumph. Every day is a gift.
Will you unwrap yours and enjoy it today?
Heard this phrase the other night, probably on the TV as I was walking though a room, and I wrote it down.
“The art of compromise.”
We can take guesses as to what this means, or we can simply make up our own meaning. That’s what I did, and came up with five different ways:
The comment’s intent targeted the Senators power to say “no” to President Obama – relationships and the passing of President Obama’s Health Care Bill.
Some Senators held their vote until they got a really good deal for their state. This had people debating it’s fairness, and the Senator’s enormous power to say, “No.”
At the end of the day, it’s really about relationships and who you know.
Or maybe, just maybe, it’s about who you no.
The truth hurts. The truth can also set us free.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever!”
Can’t you just hear people saying this, or thinking it? I say it too. We all do sometimes.
In fact, I’ve said this all my life.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever.”
Until a few years ago when things began to change.
One close friend describes me as, “A Transformed man.”
Just yesterday, at jeffnoel.org (spirit) I posted about the fog, the semi-conscious state many of us seem to go through life with. Some may call it auto-pilot.
As we are into the fourth day of the new year already, wanted to remind everyone that the goal from all this writing is:
These things have the ability to help transform anyone. At the moment, it’s working slowly, but powerfully.
Finally.
Some will say, “Finally, 2009 is over.”
Some will say, “Finally, 2010 is here.”
Some may say both.
Where would you put yourself?
It seems, time and time again, it all comes down to attitude.
