Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker
One million+ people globally while at Disney Institute.
Are you happy with the way you answered yesterday’s questions?
Lying in bed last night in this Albuquerque hotel room, listening to Mark Schultz on the headphones, my mind went racing.
Almost in a panic.
Mostly instigated from the two You Tube videos I posted two nights ago. Our son was four.
He’s closing in on ten.
Where did the time go?
What am I?
Who am I?
Am I happy?
Do you have a personal vision statement? A personal mission statement? A personal brand?
I can see the “deer in the headlights” look through the cyber-sphere. “Huh? What are you talking about? Are you nuts?”, I can hear some say.
No seriously. Do you?
If you do, congratulations.
If you don’t, why the hell heck not?
Six days until the new year. New Year! New You?
When? May I ask you that? “When?”
When will you finally get the courage (guts) to face yourself in the mirror and start to become the change you wish to see in the world?
Then we can really get this party started and make the world a better place for younger generations.
You do think that’s a good idea, right? The part about making the world a better place.

Make it a great day. It’s absolutely up to you. Always has been. Always will be. Carpe diem!
I’ve had this article for ten years, given by a friend. The author is unknown. Here it is in it’s entirety:
The question remains, despite all the work and inquiry of the researchers discussed in this column and countless others: How can we build committed, competent people and workforces?
I received the following as a handout at a class I attended; the author is unknown. Because these reflections give me solace, I am sharing them.
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time information school called life. Each day in this school you will have opportunities to learn lessons. You may like the lessons, or you may think they are irrelevant or stupid.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, of experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately work.
4. A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
6. There is not better than here. When your there has become here, you will simply obtain another there that will again look better than here.
7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this.
jeff here again. How was that for the first installment of “Too Long Tuesday”?
There’s been a very calculated effort to make all five blogs comply with a “short post” challenge.
It was a simple test to see what would happen. What happened?
Website traffic spiked. Thank you everyone, for your interest. While the real reason I blog so much is selfish, it’s actually an amazing joy to think others may benefit as much as me and my Family.
This leads to today’s title, Too Long Tuesday. It seems an occasional long post may work, without overwhelming me or you.
Personally, and generally speaking, long blog posts bore me. No offense to those who write them. Have written a fair number myself, but mostly in the early days.
Time marches on, and so has this post. See ya tomorrow at Too Long Tuesday?
