Retired Disney Institute Keynote Speaker and Prolific Blogger. Five daily, differently-themed personal blogs (about life's 5 big choices) on five interconnected sites.

We are all busy, yet the big choices do not wait for anyone

Someone asked me why I write five daily blogs about the five big choices in life. They were especially curious because of all the other things in life, like work, family, etc. All I can think of is this is how life works. We are all busy, yet the big choices do not wait for anyone.

I guess it is the privilege to think how each one impacts the other and how we can influence that by doing little things each day that we would not have done because we did not give any thought to it.

The 1979 promise has been fulfilled

Two people walking through a door
From 1979 to 2013 = 34 years to walk through this door

 

The 1979 promise has been fulfilled. And more than anything else the overwhelming realization that potential regret has been washed away, leaving a peaceful, indescribable feeling.

This is the DNA of Mid Life Celebration. Living without regret.

As it is written, so too shall it now be called finished

In the end, we either do things or we do not

 

The book is done. It is written. It feels amazing. Finally.

A huge milestone, 34 years in the making.

Fear has been conquered. And the attachment to success is no longer important.

What is important is that the 1979 promise has been fulfilled.

And yes, I realize that there can be attachment to promises.

Not feeling any attachment to attachment right now.

The funniest thing about the topic of fear

The funniest thing about the topic of fear? And just to level set, do you recall the last time you felt you learned something new about fear?

Is it even on the radar?

And when you learned more about fear what happened to you?

So after speaking with my book production representative (for the first time) yesterday it happened. A realization about the overwhelming fear I have been carrying for so long.

Publishing a book is not that difficult.

But for years and years it seemed impossible.

Hoping you find a nugget in this post. I see it. Can you?
