Leading today with a Happy Birthday to Walt Disney.

Born this day, December 5, in 1901.

Everything The Walt Disney Company does has Walt’s DNA embedded in it.

Between my wife and i, we share 63+ Disney years of breathing this in every day.

It’s who we are.

It’s how we think.

It’s what we do.

It’s not for everyone.

The intentionality, the focus, the discipline – too much for many to bear.

For us, it’s oxygen.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Fear is out to trick you into mediocrity

It just spewed out of my mouth yesterday in the dentist’s chair, “i work seven days a week. i can’t remember the last time i took a day off.”

What would happen if we worked seven days a week for a decade or more?

What if it never felt like work?

We eat everyday.

We pray (hopefully) everyday.

And by pray, i simply mean we give thanks (live in constant gratitude).

Right?

2016 Disney Dream Cruise Day 5 fond farewell.

Thanksgiving at Sea (at Disney) was a first. It was also a last minute idea.

Firsts are cool.

Last minute generally is not a recommended strategy, but in this case it worked well.

2016 Disney Dream Cruise Day 4 at Sea.

On this Thanksgiving day (every day actually) may you give thanks for your crazy dreams, your perseverance, and even give thanks for your doubt.

Yes, be thankful for your doubt.

Doubt is the lion’s share of the price we pay for anything worthwhile.

Happy Thanksgiving from somewhere on the Caribbean Sea. Technically i’m on Deck 12 underneath the AquaDuck.

Three years ago today Mid Life Celebration was released in paperback and Kindle versions.

Thankful for the 30 years it took to write the first sentence.

Thankful for the two years it took to write my first book.

Thankful for the additional two years of doubt that led to finally having the courage to commit to publishing it.

Without paralyzing doubt, there is no victory.

From first sentence to publishing took four years. Yes, i sat on it for two more years after it was written before moving forward.
