Peace and contentment. Let’s not lose this as we age. Let’s master it.

No one remembers the 12 years of various sizes of blow-up pools we had before our in-ground pool.

 

Toddler in yard
There were and continue to be wild animals all around us. Trapped humanly and released into a wilder area.

Having the right team revolves around having people you can trust.

Every* year at Disney the annual Leadership Excellence survey results had me go straight to the answer for the most important question…

“I trust my leader.”

On a five point scale of:

  1. Always
  2. Most of the time
  3. Sometimes yes, sometimes no
  4. Not very often
  5. Never

This is the question i hoped to score highest on.

* There were only a few exceptions where we skipped a year due to extenuating economic circumstances, such as the Gulf War and the year following 9/11.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

The best we can do

The best we can do is the best we can do.

Our busy lives with multiple, and often competing priorities, can be so overwhelming that we crumble under the pressure.

It’s the paradox of getting, being, and staying organized.

The 2016 accommodations got booked yesterday.

“Be yourself.  Everyone else is taken.”Life Is Good slogan

I used to look for sea shells on Sanibel Island, Florida.  You know the ones – the perfect shape and color.  The ones that looked like they came from the sea shell store.

Not any more.

Now, I look for ones that are unique and special – broken and beautiful.

Just like us humans.

Broken and beautiful.

Like Tiger Woods.

Like me.

Like you.
