How crazy is too crazy?

Catholic Lector
Yesterday at 8:45am Mass.

 

Lector reader
i practiced from this piece of paper. After 58 years on our planet, 30 years at Disney, 18 years as a speaker and advisor, i consider myself decently grounded and focused. To teach is to learn twice.

 

How crazy is too crazy?

Las Vegas has deeply stirred our Nation’s emotions.

In an effort to manage my attitude, physical health, spiritual wellbeing, work quality, and home karma, i write to process on paper what i cannot find another way to process.

We commit slow personal injury to ourselves, often leading to premature “death” of our attitude, health, spirit, career, and home life, when we do these things day in and day out:

  1. Watch, read, and listen to media and people who poison our mind
  2. Eat and drink whatever we want, and find sitting a life-time activity
  3. Avoid a community of like-minded believers and secretly hate many things and people
  4. Blame, criticize, and accuse (often silently) others of holding us back at work
  5. Become attached to things, memories, and status quo

We are killing ourselves so quietly and so slowly, it’s the ultimate assassination.

And to medicate, distract, and entertain ourselves, we pick up our social media microphone and broadcast our (mostly) self-righteous, grand-standing, American values, and blah, blah, blah…

You want to get pissed off and offended about something to the point of taking a stand and taking action?

Address and remedy 1-5 above.

Then, and only then, would it make sense that yours is a voice worth listening to.

There’s no way you can be positive all the time

Found this on a Google Search for Disney Institute.

 

There’s no way you can be positive all the time.

Until you can.

And trust me, you can.

You’re doing it wrong, Jeff

Opening Apple Watch 3 box
Opening the box that was shipped from China, at Epcot – a little earlier in the plan than hoped, but we graciously complied at the Epcot bag check table.

 

Opening Apple Watch 3 box
Thought maybe we could take this white box in unopened.

 

Opening Apple Watch 3 box
Nope. (This was ok too.)

 

Opening Apple Watch 3 box
Anticipated worst case scenario, that’s why Chapin was ready with his camera to document the opening.

 

Opening Apple Watch 3 box
Future World.

 

Opening Apple Watch 3 box
Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. Don boxed it back up and i got in the pic for an “i was here” photo.

 

Opening Apple Watch 3 box
Every Guest received a complimentary button. But only yesterday, October 1, 2017.

 

Opening Apple Watch 3 box
The future has arrived. No?

 

You’re doing it wrong, Jeff.

Ok.

To which i think to myself, “But at least i’m doing it.”

Why does that matter?

For many, it doesn’t matter.

And then i remind myself i thought that way too.

Then a series of changes happened and i began a long, slow journey in thinking differently.

The aha moment?

Once i’m doing it, i have a chance to do it better.

Life.

It ain’t a dress rehearsal.

Waiting for perfect means not starting.

Not starting, for me, was riddled with excuses.

Using June 8, 2019 as a deadline for life.

Taking an unopened box to Epcot to open it.

Yeah the stuff i have no role model for.

Live like you mean it.

Or not.

Our choice.

OMG.

What makes you come alive?

Best Disney Institute Keynote Speakers
Stumbled onto this one first.

 

Disney Customer Service Speakers
Stumbled upon this just now.

 

Leaving for the airport in an hour.

Heading to Glacier National Park.

Third time in 60 days.

Why?

In addition to Walt Disney World, my front and back porches, Glacier makes me come alive.

i’m also courting several businesses that love the Disney business model.
