Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Nature is an alpha dog. Humans are its nemesis.

Earth is patiently waiting for a return to a world without civilization.
It’s not a prediction.
It’s not an insider tip.
It’s not a morbid wish.
It’s simply the power of the Universe.
One day humans may go extinct, like the dinosaurs.
No one signed a contract that humans will live on Earth forever.

You’ve mastered growth mindset when you can turn your worst day into your best day.

Everyone is going through a hell no one knows about.
This generally lasts a lifetime.
We all go in and out of “silent” hells.
It’s the great human equalizer.
No one is immune.
Insight: It’s not what happens to us that matters, it’s how we react to what happens to us that matters.
It ain’t easy.
It can bring you to your knees.
i am grateful for knees.

Control your thoughts and you control your peace.
dad
Yesterday was a great day.
Slept in due to ‘Spring Forward’ time-change event. And, went to bed early the night before…nine hours of sleep. Can’t say that very often.
Got to ask Cheryl if she wanted to walk to breakfast two days in a row.
Wrote five differently-themed blog posts.
Finished our taxes.
Finished taxes earlier than i can ever recall.
Beautiful call with my Mom and Sister, like we do every Sunday.
Walked our yard, like i always do, daily, when i am home, admiring the beauty, color, tropical foliage, serenity, and “it-factor” being less than a mile from WDW.
Oh, and i washed our 1990 car.

Willfully disrespecting your neighbors, thinking they won’t notice is so weird.
dad
i have AirPods noise cancelling feature and the volume turned up to my highest acceptable level.
Why?
To drown out our neighbors live band.
So grateful to not be next door neighbors.
This is growth for me.
Big time.
Turns out i learned this personal insight…
Insight: i no longer concern myself with the blatant human disrespect. Why? Because my original battle was for my community’s benefit. i’ve come to realize i’m cool with it all because i can adapt and overcome.
Now it’s up to the others. Putting that accountability on the others is freedom.
What that means…i stay silent. i said my piece in defense of my neighbors a few years ago. They had a chance to echo my sentiment. Never heard the echo. Good luck everyone. Sending good karma.

The pinnacle work effort is when your effort never feels like work.
dad
The top photo is an illustration of what can happen when you love doing something that doesn’t feel like work.
i wrote five daily, differently-themed blog posts for five years while i worked and traveled the globe full-time at Disney Institute.
Every time i thought about starting a morning by skipping writing due to a demanding schedule, one thought always convinced me to not skip a day.
The thought?
This is what i’d be doing if i wasn’t doing this…
Can’t imagine there ever being a morning where i don’t feel like reflecting on what i learned yesterday, what i get to do today, and what i hope for tomorrow.
i knew when i was at the pinnacle of my Disney and Disney Institute career…i’d need/want to start every morning expressing my gratitude for another day by thinking and writing about it.
Will i do it until the morning i don’t wake up for?
Seems like a safe bet.
