It’s easy to not over-focus

It’s easy to not over-focus.

So many life priorities.

So many work priorities.

It’s easy to let ”little” things fall off our radar. Things like opening the car door for our spouse.

To us it’s so small it seems insignificant.

To the recipient, the thing, when done consistently, speaks volumes about what we value.

Business growth intoxication

Disney Institute Keynote Speakers
This is the key to personal (and business) transformation.

 

When i look at how Mid Life Celebration, LLC has grown in the four years since retiring from Disney, it’s astonishing.

And a bit intoxicating.

If i’m not careful, i’ll be tempted to continue the exponential growth.

If i simply held at this year’s revenue, i’d be set.

The effort to grow is time-consuming.

Time is my greatest asset between now and June 8, 2019.

And then there’s the looming decision to hire an exclusive global speaker bureau agent.

Balance regrets and accomplishments

hand held phone
Can’t remember the last time i held a phone to talk. Last night it happened because my Air Pods died and the backup pair (yes, i have two pairs) took too long to synch.

 

When it comes time to die…

Balance your regrets and your accomplishments.

Got this nugget from a new parent at Windermere Prep.

His and his wife’s grandparents are in their 90’s, and one is a centenarian.

Would it be weird to start a conversation on Facebook exchanging tips on preparing to die?

Honestly, it seems like a brilliant idea.

Five things everyone does

Disney Culture Speaker
Listen to people who dedicate their lives to something important.

 

Five things everyone does:

  1. We think
  2. We move
  3. We feel
  4. We work
  5. We dwell

Understand the big picture and then fill in the details that allow you to thrive in all five.

Get better at one, the other four benefit.

Neglect one, the other four suffer.

It’s that simple.

Speed helps medicate us and distract us from reality

Speed helps medicate us and distract us from reality.

Beauty isn’t seen in a rush.

Clarity isn’t revealed in a hurry.

Change isn’t lasting as we constantly sprint.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Yet we often need to push the pedal to the metal to get “everything” done.

Maybe we aren’t proficient at shedding certain things we do – things that others could, should, and need to be doing?

And finally, what are we doing that doesn’t need to be done at all?

To delegate (hire others) things we used to do ourselves – yardwork, auto maintenance, basic home repairs, etc.

To stop doing things we’ve always done – mindlessly watching TV late in the evening, hitting the snooze button, buying (and collecting) books we’ll never read, etc.
