Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
What’s impossible?
We run the subconscious script over and over through our mind.
Much of it is driven by our busy pace.
This cuts off the circulation to our lofty and grand dreams.
Yesterday’s run was the longest one in 30 years. And it was never a goal. It just happened.
Circulation restored.

Here’s how high i’ve learned to aim…
Here’s the simple choice we all face, everyday, all day.
Focus on what makes us miserable or focus on what makes us happy.
Focus on what we don’t have = miserable.
Focus on what we do have = joy.
Aim so high it scares you.

One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. The paradox of yesterday’s dislike for a simple concept is paradoxically highlighted by one of Mid Life Celebration’s first book reviews:
I read the book this morning, and as expected, it is fantastic! Having read Jeff’s blogs for quite some time, there are a lot of familiar themes in the book, and it is great to have them together in one spot.
What stuck with me was a simple sentence that Jeff sprinkles throughout the book. “We know this.” There are a lot of lessons that are shared, and ideas to help us be better, that at the core are simple things that we really do know. We just may not be paying attention to them, or they may be drowned out by the other things in our lives. Taking the time to “rethink, reprioritize, and recommit” helps us see that we know what we need to do. We just have to get the clutter out of the way.
Having just seen the Disney Institute video of Jeff speaking about the CEO of You, Inc., it was neat to see that idea carry across his day job and his passion.
The video Brian speaks of is here.

The wait is over. After 46 consecutive five-star reviews, the first non-five star.
Two stars.
Ecstatic to finally get some critical feedback. Seriously. It’s wonderful.
“A very quick read that gets to the heart of mid life. I was a little bothered that the author kept saying ‘you know this.’ All I kept thinking was, then why the heck am I reading this book if I already know it.”
So grateful to the person for investing their money to purchase, investing their time to read and their time to review.
The author could have said in the book, but did’t, that it was written to his young son as a life guide in case something bad ever happened to the dad.
The author (dad) was being intentionally repetitious with the reminder to his son, “You know this.” Yet the dad also is keenly aware of human nature:
To know is to do. To know and not do, is to not yet know.
So grateful. For everything.

The most beautiful thing about a positive attitude is how self-evident it is.
