Good, mind

Disney Speakers jeff noel
Change is in the air. Good change.

Is ‘good’ all it’s cracked up to be?

What if ‘bad’ was humanity’s standard?

What if change was always viewed as bad?

Laws, mind

Stephen Hawking quote about the Universe
Because there is a law such a love…Earth is roughly 4.5 billion years old. Laws are maybe 6,000 years old, at best. We know nothing about how our universe works. The science experts are trying to educate us, but we find comfort in religious dogma.

What are the laws of life that are time-tested, yet have no legal consequence?

Blinding flashes of the obvious have been hidden from most because most are followers.

Leaders need followers.

So do snake-oil salespeople.

It’s a self-fulfilling ecosystem.

Then there’s you.

What do you believe?

Is it different than society’s view?

How does that make you feel?

Are you convicted and committed?

Is this a liability?

Is this an asset?

imma go with asset.

Transformational asset.

No one is breaking any laws in this space.

Live and let live.

To each their own.

Norms, mind

post it note think differently
Brainstorming in 2019. This is my visual for “thinking INSIDE the box”.

Classic question for all ages, what is normal?

Normal?

.thinking .differently like it’s my job.

Thinking differently disrupts friends and colleagues relationships with you.

Why?

Because you ask questions they’ve never been asked.

Ever!

And your questions, that you first tested on yourself, they are deeply uncomfortable.

Why?

Because you poured your heart and soul into discovering them.

And that is what changed your life…these new questions.

Ps. It is a privilege to write this post, along with the 32,000+- other posts i’ve published in my lifetime.

Stereotypes, mind

Disney brands displayed on wall
Disney brands at Disney University. Branding is a great example of intentionally managing stereotypes.

What are stereotypes? Why do they exist? How are they helpful? How are they harmful?

Stereotypes are true and untrue beliefs about something or someone.

Stereotypes exist because they help society filter repetitive patterns efficiently.

Stereotypes positively offer effortless reflexive responses and choices in daily life.

Stereotypes negatively offer untrue, harmful, indecent, and unwanted judgement on things and people.

Dogma, mind

three flags
USA, Montana, Canada.

What is dogma’s greatest benefit to humanity?

Dogma, to me, is unbreakable tradition.

Traditional is both freedom and a prison.

Let me try to share a weird mental, growth-mindset, perspective on dogma.

Recently, a next-door neighbor, from Brazil, moved in.

Some context: People from all over the world live in our 30-lot subdivision.

This got me thinking (again) about should i learn Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Hindi, Hebrew… Should i explore some Columbian, Brazilian, Japanese, Indian, Israeli music?

And here was my epiphany…as an American living in America, in an American subdivision, if i try to learn some language and some music from all these other places, that would put a heavy load on my learning.

What seems to make the most sense, is instead of one person (me, or anyone) trying to learn multiple other country’s languages and music, perhaps 10 other people could learn the language and music with America’s fingerprint on it.

Weird, right?

Wonder if any other neighbors have thought about this?
