Patience is personal leadership strength

UPS Overnight delivery envelope.
This was waiting when we returned from Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park yesterday.

 

Are you working on something important but feel like giving up? What is the only thing that allows us to persevere in the face of long-term adversity?

It’s different for each of us, which is why we struggle. We want the fail-safe recipe for success.

In a nutshell, here’s your best clue for your fail-safe recipe. It revolves around motivation and patience.

In preparation for Mid Life Celebration’s first catalytic leadership keynote speech featuring The Disney Way, the client sent an incredibly valuable packet of Company and event information.

It only took six years.

Not for the UPS package, for Mid Life Celebration’s first paid speaking engagement.

Six years.

Who waits that long?

A patient person with a clear, concise, and compelling vision.

Camp Rainey Mountain weather

Wonder how Rainey Mountain got it’s name. If it was Rainy Mountain, it would make sense. But Rainey? Apparently, they are interchangable.

Boy Scout Camp brochures never contain photos of torrential down powers and rivers of water everywhere. With Scouts and adults unloading gear in it. In the dark. Good times!

Have you ever waited 13 years to do something for the first time?

Paris 2012
Paris Spring 2012

Traveling to Paris on a business trip, the opportunity presented itself to take one day for myself. In 13 years, this has never happened. It was enlightening and enriching, on fronts other than the obvious.

Can’t decide if this was selfish or selfless behavior… to wait 13 years.

The First Mid Life Celebration Blog Post – October 17, 2009

Canyons are great for creating echoes. So are personal stories.

The first blog post I ever wrote, One Push Up, was on Blogger. The second post I ever wrote, and first official Mid Life Celebration post was on WordPress at jeffnoel.org

Insight: When we listen to another’s story, we can often hear the similar echoes of our own.
