social media post by Jeff Noel
2013…my first book easily could have been called Mid life Crisis. Why have a problem if you could have a challenge and or opportunity instead? Why?

Random photo, mind

Cheryl with her cousin, her cousin’s son and daughter-in law.

Today’s posts are simply random photos as i scroll through each blog’s media library. There are thousands of photos in each blog’s media library. It’s tedious to view them. It’s also kinda fun. Almost therapeutic. Presently sitting outside in November’s 75-degree weather at dinner time (5pm).

Cheryl is in France.

Chapin finished his Disney shift and is out for the evening.

Now it’s just me, finally finishing today’s blogs.

The closer to death, mind

A critical slide in my signature Disney Customer Service Keynote. The slide summarizes the content below.

The closer to you get to death, the less you give a hoot what others think about the way you think and what you think about.

Why?

You finally realize you cannot control others’ thinking. Plus, most of us don’t know what others truly think — another late in life revelation.

Review: We live our life the way we want. None of us is gonna change who we are. (yes, exceptions exist)

To be clear, we probably have a few exceptional people we would actually change for.

So why stop caring what others think?

Because you’ll be dead soon and none of it will matter.

Unconventional

Jeff Noel's TEDx Talk ID Badge at Disney University.
In my lifetime, have only heard one human say, “Going the extra mile is a flawed concept.” And that human is me.

Unconventional definition is Googled here.

Unconventional paragraph…

Unconventional. Olympic Gold. Good people do good things. Proactive. Aggressively unfancy.

Today’s posts are from a month’s old note i saved. Wrote these words while brainstorming a new LinkedIn profile headline…

Unconventional. Olympic Gold. Good people do good things. Proactive. Aggressively unfancy.

The first brainstorm idea was “unconventional”. This photo is from the Googled unconventional search results…

Some of my favorite words are in this pic. All describing the space i like to live in.

Two focus types

two water bottles with a post it note
Two water bottles. One is a gift to every Disney Institute (DI) class participant. The other is the one i took for three class days. Had no idea DI would provide a water bottle. This is an example of over-focusing on something as simple as hydration.

Two types of focus.

Over-focusing.

Under-focusing.

One is building a life with well thought out blueprints.

One is building a life without well thought out blueprints.

Blueprints leave nothing to chance.

Poor planning leads to missed opportunities, settling for less, and always wondering what kind of life you could have architected.
