So many priorities

Disney keynote speaker jeff noel — My hometown’s Main Street. Also, this is my “Window”.

Without prioritized priorities, you get dizzy sorting your time and effort.

Be prepared.
Boy Scout motto

As a youngster, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts was popular. i enjoyed a handful of years combined.

Being prepared was engrained in me.

An early version of over-focusing, long before i saw it applied to my Disney career.

Today, been applying it to packing for GNP.

And so it goes

Disney speaker TEDx Talk — Kuwait City, Kuwait, Spring 2019.

Day in day out. We cement our habits.

If you could have your choice from these two, which would you (ultimately) easily pick?

How challenging is it to live with low standards for a lifetime?

Early and late

family by mountain trail sign — Trail head photos are generally skipped because of, well, many reasons. i generally never skip a trail head photo opp.

9-second video: Sunset hike/dinner. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, etc. Livin’ the dream.

Love crowds, love waiting, and or jockeying?

Then don’t arrive early to beat the crowd.

Don’t arrive later, after the rush either.

Why?

Because if you arrive early or late, you can literally own the place.

Ownership comes with the discomfort of following a path less traveled.

Scary or exhilarating?

Regret only sucks

Homeowner in yard — Remember this pile? Finished the pile yesterday.

Dumptruck — One truck load of topsoil between the boards, 18 yards worth.

Two people on a dirt pile — Just over a week to make it disappear.

Regret only sucks if it comes true.

Would have regretted not going for it…
In 1983, my goal was to live less than five minutes from Walt Disney World.
Took a decade to do.
Now, we’re retired living less than a mile from WDW.
