Authenticity (New Currency) – Page 4 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

If you had two and one half years to live

At this point in life, i am asking myself if i should be immersed in doing what i love.

For context, i’m not oblivious to the daily adult responsibility that never goes away.

So i’m fully cognizant that i can’t abandon my adult roles.

What i’m talking about now is what would appear to be the art of living, loving, thinking, playing, contributing, and leaving.

Loving, thinking, playing, contributing, and leaving.

Loving, thinking, playing, contributing, and leaving an organized compass for my family, particularly our son (16).

It would seem to me that every aspect of what i do now ought to be filtered through the lens of love, joy, art, and contribution.

It would also seem there is zero room for fitting into a prescribed way or mold.

Should we dare to follow our own voice?

Even if it’s something others may frown upon, or worse, think is crazy, self-indulgent, or ridiculous?

Playing it safe ruins it for ourselves

Residential average near Disney World — Neighbor’s new home is almost ready for the foundation cement pour. To have a beautiful home or a beautiful soul and only being able to pick one, which would we pick?

Playing it safe denies our desire to become authentic.

Denying our desire to be authentic poisons our soul.

Our soul and our attitude are inseparable.

Poisoning the soul means poisoning the attitude.

The paradox of self-confidence

Disney Customer Service Speakers — Walt Disney…you know he had to be thinking, “What if this doesn’t work?”

The paradox of self-confidence is that most (all the ones i know anyway) confident people have a quiet, yet relentless, battle with self-doubt.

You’re only as good as your last presentation, your last race, your last prayer.

No one cares what you did in the past, if what you are currently doing isn’t amazing.

It comes with the territory.

Confidence is like a fire, without constant attention to adding fuel, it will dim and quite quickly, extinguish.

Being authentic could be addicting

Progress — After 25 years, the ground breaking yesterday, we are finally getting next door neighbors. i texted our future neighbors to share my excitement with them.

Being authentic could be addicting.

Why?

Because you never have to think about what you said or did. You are always leading with admirable behavior.

Or, as our Son recently said, “You come across as a goody two-shoes”. By the way, he said that immediately after reading the email reply (a promised agreement with John Jolin) i sent to John Jolin in an effort to take the high road and not get caught up in the negative press that has proliferated in the past few years.

i feel exceptionally healthy and well by always taking the high road. It does kinda feel addicting. Like sunny weather.

The three R’s are back in the spotlight

The recent (eight days ago, October 30, 2015) email asking for $7,500 in copyright infringement fees from John W Jolin of Linda’s Lyrics, has had me:

rethink
reprioritize
recommit

There is no way i can think of that could have avoided what happened. It was so utterly innocent and unknowing.

Live your life so that if anyone says anything bad about you, no one will believe it.
