Lofty

Disney speaker Jeff Noel
Jack the bear is a signature story. It’s about knowing your purpose versus your job’s tasks. It’s also about the power of going the extra inch.

Live your life so that if anyone ever says anything bad about you, no one will believe it.

14 years of prolific blogging

Everyone who discovers my 14 years of prolific, five daily, differently-themed blog posts writing habit has to be thinking, WTF (Wow, that’s funny).

Explaining how is challenging. Explaining why is easy.

dad

Why? i enjoy it and cannot help myself.

How? It’s a long and creative story. It will not make sense. Sometimes, even i don’t understand it.

Authenticity is wealth

The tragedy of life is not death, it is being afraid to be yourself.

dad

The ultimate triumph in your life is authenticity.

Happy present moment

Deep breath.

Exhale.

Smile…

Happy present moment.

Not sure if anyone ever made ‘happy present moment’ a saying. i did years ago. To this day it is a ‘go to’, suitable every day, all day.

Many years ago at Golds Gym, and many “Happy New Year” salutations ago, i asked Fred Drew (long time Disney colleague) for help with a dilemma. Some Gym members, because of our busy schedules, hadn’t been in the gym when i am there, since ‘last year’. In February, i’m still wishing those people i hadn’t seen since ‘last year’ a Happy New Year. In February, it seemed weird. Shared the weirdness with Fred. And by the way, Fred asked, “Are you a Buddhist?” Our relatively brief, but consistent gym conversations gave him this impression. Interestingly enough, Fred suggested i say to the gym regulars i had’t seen since ‘last year’, Happy present moment.

It stuck.

It’s prefect.

Year round.

Unconventional advice

Crew of four. Worked eight hours in 95-degree heat. We treated them well.

Unconventional advice…

Crave failure.

Learn, and teach others, to be comfortable being uncomfortable.
