Regret – Page 2 – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

What’s in your calendar?

small child in wildflower patch — Looking back two decades ago. It’s fun to do the math. The math is my vision back then and how that vision manifested over 20 years to today.

Decluttering frees you to get to the important stuff.

The personal leadership stuff.

The stuff that makes you happy.

The stuff you will never regret doing or getting better at.

Yo, Bro

Four people at a Japanese restaurant — Yo, bruh, sorry that Tampa beat the Vikings. Photo: yesterday at Teppen Edo (Japan). Brad, our 2nd fraternity president, and Dave joined today’s spontaneous group call. Brad had to bounce after 30 mins. He and his family had to drive to the Vikings game. Playing Tampa Bay (our”home team”). “We” won. Sorry Brad.

11-second video: To clarify, 90 minutes on the second dip in the pool. A group phone call with a couple fraternity brothers.

i have no regrets, but if forced at knifepoint to “confess”, i’d say i regret being a busy person most of my life.

Everything teaches.

Everything.

Even regret.

And especially (self) forgiveness and learning from regret.

You have great resources

man in front yard — Behind Deputy Brown’s car is Deputy Jonathan’s car (middle left almost touching my chin). They responded quickly. So grateful. Any citizen will be.

You have incredible assets a phone call away.

Use them.

You’ve been paying taxes your entire life to finance these essential, helpful citizen resources

It’s your right.

It’s a perfect antidote for regret.

That, and surrender.

Note: Had to surrender to the fact the non-emergency issue resolved itself minutes before the two squad cars arrived.

Regret is a late bloomer

You get one life.

You spend your whole life living it.

Please know…

Regret is a late bloomer.

Do not waste your life being disorganized.

Achieve personal vibrancy simply by being organized enough to be able to prioritize your priorities.

Clarity is power.

Big time regret patiently waits until you feel like you can never change.

The truth isn’t telling the story

Regret tells the truth. Change tells the story.
