Humility (never enough) – Page 4 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

How many miracles does each human get?

KOHLS 2015 National Conference — KOHL’S 2015 National Conference about to kickoff.

We get a few, plus or minus one handful, of miracles in life.

Today doesn’t equate to:

Being born
Being American
Surviving two potentially deadly car accidents.
Marrying Cheryl
Finding land behind Magic Kingdom
Overcoming disability and becoming a parent

But today does equate to a close second. And is simply this. Today is Mid Life Celebration’s first paid speaking engagement. The client paid the entire asking price – the same price Disney Institute can ask for.

Another close second is years ago entirely by serendipity, Lee Cockerell and i began a trusted friendship.

Should we try it if the benefits could be staggering?

(photo: Six months is a long time. Imagine an entire year.)

You know the coolest thing about an intensely positive attitude?

You are ok doing the craziest experiments that:

No one else is even thinking of doing.
No one else would even dream of succeeding at it.

Twelve more days to complete one year of not using I, Me, my, or mine.

Not in:

Five blogs a day. And yes, that’s 1,865 posts.
Not in emails for Disney.
Not in emails for MLC.
Not in personal emails.
Not in a single social media update, reply, comment. Not one. For a year.

To be honest, it’s insane.

But some unexpected Magic happened.

Have you ever tried it? For a day? A week? Longer?

See how crazy it is.

The benefits are staggering.

First up was learning an invisible (unknown) definition of humility.

Humbled by the mental aging process

(photo: Three days, two nights at the Nursing Home and Assisted Living facility)

Humbled by the mental aging process.

Spend one day in the Senior Living facility and adjacent Nursing home and you easily become overwhelmed with the choices we think we have as we age.

History shows that middle aged adults aren’t taking any of these choices seriously.

If attitude really is everything we’ve been led to believe it is….

Guess it’s up to us to manage it and ultimately, to prove it.

Been working to eliminate these four words?

Lane8.org old website design — Such simple beginnings, yet always striving to get better. Clicking Next **Blog** (below) takes you there.

The past few months, maybe longer, have been working to eliminate these words:

i
me
my
mine

Why?

Either a mystery or a conscious realization these four words are innocently yet completely self-centered.

car with wealth building website address painted on bumper — Every breakthrough was once a crazy idea to all but one person

How does a person tell the difference between delusions of grandeur and the likelihood that they’ve been called to do something important?

Every breakthrough was once a crazy idea to all but one person.

What if we saw death as the third most magnificent day in our life?
