Plant where you bloom

Floridians planting the Florida state tree — Our house is home to my two favorites places in the world. We are planting like we mean it. Like we finally realized we need to plant now, not later.

Plant where you bloom.
dad

Sometimes, like right now, an insight will arrive for the first time in a lifetime.

Today’s quote is the insight.

The photo is the inspirational catalyst.

The deeper insight behind the insight is that it’s time to “finish” planting the foundational trees after living here for 3+ decades.

Worst case mentally

Baby bunny in the leaves — Cheryl saw something move this morning. Maybe a month ago i saw an adult Rabbit dig a hole and then cover it with leaves. The cover up was so meticulous. Had i not witnessed the circular clearing and the hole, i’d never believe it happened.

Six-second video: The Bunny never blinked.

Walt Disney’s Three Little Pigs is the best reason to plan for worst case. It summarizes the consequences for not preparing.
dad

Worst case mentally is i deny the future exists right around the corner and if i’m lucky, i’ll live in it someday. Even worse, i’ll settle for a “good enough” attitude and a closed mindset (“like everyone else”).

Mentally over-confident?

Disney Institute class walking down Main Street USA before the park opens. Having the privilege, and responsibility, for 15 years, to officially represent Disney Culture to outsiders in settings like this, OMG!

Mentally over-confident?

No.

100% confident.

No need for more than 100% mental confidence.

Use quiet thunder instead

Disney Keynote Speaker jeff noel — 7:30 AM…One last walk through the Tunnel and down a deserted Main Street USA.

Regret is not worth the price paid to avoid risk.
dad

Perhaps the biggest regret is saying you believe in something but no one buys it, and eventually not even you, because your actions speak louder than words.

Classic “What you do thunders so loudly i can’t hear what you say.”

How you doin with your mind?

Grizzly Bear sitting with arm up in air — Can’t recall the context. Could be National Park website. Could be a funny greeting card from a Zoo Bear.

Respect the wild. Visit the wild. Learn from the wild.
dad

How you doin’ with your mind?

How’s your growth mindset?

Ps. There’s no bull-crap in the wild. It is what it is; before humans existed, and if humans disappear. The wild will keep on keeping’ on. Imagine your growth mindset being so resilient.
