We don’t teach potential

pink post it note with 3 handwritten notes
From a year and a half ago, a spontaneous idea got written down so i wouldn’t forget. Riffing on this idea today, Dec 14, 2025.

We don’t teach potential.

Why?

My theory, from living 6+ decades: most of us have a challenge living up to our own potential.

Stereotypically, most of us (myself included) never live up to our grandiose dreams, hopes, and goals.

Life is hard.

It’s fair to say that most of us unintentionally settle for decently average. We feel good if we can at least run with the pack.

Also stereotypically, average personal results make for average teachers.

Happy present DU moment

My Disney Experience app
Screenshot while walking to Disney University yesterday morning. Checking Disney’s Magic Kingdom ticket availability. After a short wait, it was available. This gave me a great option.

Sometimes, like yesterday morning, i like having a specific place to walk to.

Why?

A goal.

Why?

To add motivation to a morning when you you aren’t particularly feeling like a robust walk.

Slow and steady

Two MacBooks and an iPad in front of an Apple Store
Took two 2015 MacBooks and an iPad to the Apple Store yesterday to recycle.

Shedding anything, thoughts, ideas, possessions, is a slow and steady process for me.

Why?

Comfort. Doubt. Fear. What if? Etc.

The more i shed, the easier it becomes.

Why?

Because like anything else in life, doing the reps gets you good at the thing you are doing the reps with.

Right fit talent, mind

Walt Disney World Casting Center
We put our Cherished Characters up on a pedestal.

At Disney, we hire for attitude, not aptitude.

Yesterday, December 9, 2025, a GoDaddy WordPress Premium Support employee, a paid feature with my GoDaddy Managed WordPress Hosting account.

Today’s posts are a combination: GoDaddy and WordPress progress reports. Some Disney ‘Magic’.
