The work is hard whether we are organized or not. Much has been accomplished this past week. It’s been challenging. Missing some sleep in order to finish it all.

i don’t mind because much of the time-consuming work is to make the coming days, weeks, and months much easier.

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.

To be able to live so close to Disney and to be able to do work that matters is an extraordinary blessing that i am constantly mindful of.

How much is enough, and how far is too far?

Winter Garden Theater inside
Got a quick look last night. Will be teaching here in a month. Yesterday’s (and today’s) class was above this theater.

 

How much is enough, and how far is too far?

Yesterday’s speech was envisioned and practiced down to the smallest detail.

There is always the chance that what we offer can be overwhelming to the recipient.

And so it goes…

There is always the chance that what we offer isn’t nearly enough.

PS. Not only weekends, but weekdays

Statement about changing someone

PS. Not only weekends, but weekdays. No working after 5pm.

Gasp.

That’s right, two weeks of literally no work after 5pm.

Even to the point of leaving the iPhone in another room.

i see an issue with my actions, so change will not be difficult.

The fear of mattering

Yesterday morning, sitting on the front porch. Just above my toes, a 14-year old.

 

The fear of mattering is powerful enough to scare us into playing it safe.

We lean on our fairly disorganized life to create the perfect alibi for why we never come alive.

We take this to our grave.

i’ve organized every day (for 6+ years) to begin with two hours of thinking, reading, praying, and writing – for anyone with the guts to listen.
