Better than pessimism

Kiss musicians backstage
Gene Simmons, standing in the background, inspired me with his mastery last night on American Idol.
Vast experience is a master class waiting to happen.

Through six decades, i have found optimism makes everything better than pessimism.

Son, i have learned to pay close attention when things sound ridiculously simple, yet seem obviously true.

Over time you get exhaustive choices to apply what you hear, see, read, do (and don’t do), and learn.

Vast experience is a master class waiting to happen.

How big are your most optimistic thoughts?

dad

How big are my most optimistic thoughts?

Back in the day, so big they scared me.

Now they’re even bigger, and they feel like a friend.

Master the art of dreaming and doing, and failing and achieving.

Mastery is an enlightened goal because wealth can’t buy it, impatience can’t rush it, privilege can’t inherit it, and no one can steal it. You can only earn it by doing the reps. Mastery is the ultimate optimism.

Yogi Berra

Still living a busy life.

Not nearly as busy as it was at Disney and the first 10 years of my business (founded 2009).

Like all habits, time and repetition are the tools we use to embed new things into our daily routine.

Therefore, being present requires time and repetition.

A lifetime of busy-ness must simultaneously be minimized to make room for a new, consistent, and maybe someday constant lifetime of being present.
