Life has five big choices

Disney Culture Speaker
The ripple effect helps or hurts – be constantly aware and be intentional.

 

Life has five big choices.

Balance isn’t about time, it’s about energy.

There are two non-negotiables called work and sleep…

  1. You’ll work 50 hours a week.
  2. You’ll sleep, ideally, 56 hours a week.

So the 168 hours you start with has 62 hours remaining.

Mind, body, spirit, work, home.

None of these will get anywhere near 50 hours each (work is the exception).

You must decide how to spend your time and energy.

Be strategic, be intentional, be focused, be disciplined.

For example, can you volunteer as a Family so that you feed your spirit, relationships, attitude, and personal organization?

Years ago i decided to never leave my Family in order to volunteer.

Work already kept us apart enough – hence, we only volunteer together.

Ten years ago i began a small business so i wouldn’t have to travel (be away) so much. Now i work from home.

She said he’s the classroom sage

Windermere Prep HS courtyard
Yesterday, waiting for a teacher-parent conference appointment at 3pm.

 

She said he’s the classroom sage.

Met with the English teacher to discuss our Son’s progress.

Not academically.

Everything but that.

Socially.

Relationships.

Confidence.

Stuff like that.

She also said, “When Chapin speaks, people listen.”

Good karma (reprise).

Why me?

Nursing Home room info board
Yesterday, Nov 2.

 

End of life experiences are rare for me.

i learned more about end of life yesterday.

A question i heard over and over yesterday was, “Why me?”

i didn’t understand the question, nor it’s context.

My confusion inspired this train of thought:

•  •  •  •  •

Why me?

Why am I so organized?

Why am I so disorganized?

Why am I so unhappy?

Why am I so happy?

Why am I so optimistic?

Why am I so afraid?

Which questions were easy to answer?

Which made you stumble?

See a pattern or cause and effect?

How does karma get so organized?

Glacier National Park tee shirt
One of the teachers asked about Glacier, but we didn’t get to talk about it.

 

Arrived at the HIgh School pool a little early to catch the end of our Son’s swim practice. He was supposed to find out if he was going to Districts.

As of this morning, we still don’t know.

Anyway, after practice, he needs a few minutes in the locker room.

i walked around the corner – gym, track, football field, and the new High School cafe.

Saw four teachers i hadn’t seen in awhile sitting at a table and went over to say hello.

Accepted the invitation to sit with them.

Two minutes later, Jason began “the meeting” by thanking the other teachers for joining him to honor Brad Ramsey, a respected and admired colleague who took his life one year prior.

Just then, a few large, sporadic rain drops fell.

As if Heaven (or Brad) was crying.

How does karma get so organized?

What would Steve and Walt do?

Speakers Bureau said their client has upped their original bid by 42%.

Rather than jump on it, the first thought was to walk away.

What?

Yeah, walk away. The early years of an organization become the DNA for every year moving forward.

No one walks into an Apple Store expecting to negotiate the price of a Mac or iPhone.

My creative solution is to agree to payment in full at time of signing. The event is eight months away.
