Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
One of these stays, one goes, by the time we reach midlife.
Remember those crazy, bold, noble, youthful dreams?
Our lifestyle habits always remain and live out day by day.
Our dreams, not so much.
Why?
Why not?

Old age is the new awesome.
Happy 58th birthday Disneyland!
Walt Disney worked hard to create a place where Families could have fun together.
A place where people of all ages could go and forget about the real world and enjoy a few hours of pure magic and fantasy.
Many of us Baby Boomers spent our childhood weeks patiently waiting for Sunday nights to watch Walt reveal his new episode.
Do we, most of us now over 50, still feel like kids? Mentally? Physically?
This doesn’t have to be a fantasy. Does it?

What’s our biggest promise to ourselves that we’re still sitting on?
Maybe this will encourage you.
Maybe it will scare you.
Maybe it will turn you away right now…
So sure I would never write the story I promised to write 30 years prior, I began anyway on April Fool’s day 2009.
It was to last 100 days.
That was 1,466 days ago.
An unassuming streak began.
Quietly.
Innocently.
Reverently.
Yesterday – April 5, 2013 – the streak ended at 1,464 consecutive days.
So exhausted but so sure once home from a week long trip, that I’d sneak in time from Family to write the five daily blogs.
Instead, like the line from Harry Chapin’s song, “Can you teach me to throw, I said not today, I got a lot to do…”
Chapin asked me to play his favorite card game.
It was 10pm. The game is complex. I’m not very good.
I hadn’t seen him in 100 hours.
We played. For 40 minutes.
Then we went to bed.
The unheralded (and yet astonishing) streak came to an end.
If you’ve made it this far, may today be a day like you haven’t had in a long time.
A day in which you find yourself yearning – more than you can ever recall – to begin anew.
To brush off that long ago abandoned dream of yours, and cuddle it gently, and whisper, “I’ve missed you. Will you forgive me? Can we try this one more time, together?”
It nourishes our soul and focuses our life.

Our greatest awakening comes when we become thrilled with the little things that used to bore us.

I will not quit writing five daily, differently-themed blogs about Life’s Big Choices.
Quitting on a conviction does as much damage as not quitting does good.
After a 16-hour day, we are tempted to take short cuts.
Will. Not. Miss. A. Single. Day!
