Dear Son, your growth in the past 30 days

mother and son — In Church a few days ago on Mother’s Day.

Dear Son, your growth in the past 30 days has risen above your average rate.

Biking round trip to school a couple nights ago to make up for a weather-related obstacle you had that morning.

Another day this week, you chose to ride home with a storm approaching, knowing you’d probably stop and have to wait it out. You trusted yourself to read the weather conditions and anticipate your shelter options.

You’ve been thinking hard about the pros and cons for your two Summer job options. One option is traditional, the other is not. Both come with great risks.

Note: The way i grew up and experienced Summer jobs is a limited view of how our Son should do it. There are dozens of other ways that less fortunate and more fortunate teens spent their Summers preparing for life.

Be openminded.

Use your vision of the future to help guide you now.

Rural Enclave Public Meeting

Land near Walt Disney World — 1974 ariel view.

Orange County FL rural enclave — An anomoly – in stark contrast to explosive, high-density land use on Walt Disney World’s north border, rests a large swath of multi-acre residential lots.

As the crow flies, we are less than one mile from Walt Disney World’s North property line.

We have owned our lot since January 1990.

We have lived in our home since January 25, 1992.

Explosive and high-density growth was guaranteed – and it has happened.

Except.

Except for 200 acres adjacent to our subdivision.

Zoning is one home per 10 acres.

Can you imagine?

It used to be citrus groves.

For five years there has been conflict between a few investors and the local residents.

And so it goes.

Where to find game-changing lessons

Disney Executive Coach — This happened yesterday.

Game-changing lessons are only learned in the crucible of perseverance.

Doubt is never far away.

Doubt needs to be replaced with confidence.

Confidence needs to be balanced with deep humility.

Lightening up is good for your likability

Forehead thermometer — Blindspots are so obvious to everyone but the person with the blindspot. The person’s blindspot is always there but just out of sight.

Lightening up is good for your likability. In business and in personal relationships.

Seems so obvious.

Yet.

Yet we struggle.

Behaving in a mirror image with the way we think is called integrity.

Allowing our busy schedule, and the stress it brings, to blindly have ourselves behave differently than we think is called a blindspot.

Dear Son, this is one of the ~~many~~ more important lessons i’d like you to practice and hone before you graduate High School.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

What does this mean?
