Radical honesty, radical attitude

forehead thermometer
Yesterday morning preparing for Endoscopy. Forehead thermometer and constant at-a-glance verification.

 

Many medical tests (but not all) reveal the truth about a patient’s physical condition.

Send a camera scope down a person’s throat and you’ll see what’s really going on.

How do we evaluate our attitude with empirical evidence?

Radical honesty.

Simply look at the body of our life’s work.

What we do proves what we believe.

Will our hope fade or can we protect it?

Yesterday morning, writing the first of seven Disney Business books, bedside with my 91-year old father-in-law.

 

Embracing fear and failure puts you in charge of your plan starting today.

Is it possible to be intentional enough with our attitude so we can remain vibrant?

And can we nurture a balanced wellness approach to our life events even as we reach our final years?

Please fail more often

famous start up garages
From LinkedIn. For every story like these, there are thousands that never made it.

 

Dear son, please fail more often.

Fear and risk are inseparable.

Risk and failure are inseparable.

Failure and growth are inseparable.

To grow, fail.

Son, remember, i want you to do as much of this as possible before you leave home to start your own life.

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.

 

Own the morning?

early morning Cross Country practice
Yesterday, 5:50 am…Cross Country practice. We are intentionally 10 minutes early for 6 am practice.

 

Own the morning?

Or does the morning own you?

During an honest evaluation, when it was obvious the morning owned me,  i changed.

It was a slow change.

And steady.

And looking back, it was a transformational change.

PS. A new job at Disney was the catalyst. Becoming a Disney Institute Speaker meant i needed to be up early every day whether i wanted to or not. i also no longer had to work at night.

You won’t know until you try

Lifebridge Church Windermere
Yesterday’s 9 am service…8:55 am…nearly empty Church.

 

Lifebridge Church Windermere
Interesting how consistent late arrivals are across denominations.

 

You won’t know until you try.

If there was a Catholic Church near us, it would be a no-brainer to switch from our current Parish. Of course it would be difficult. Such is life.

Teaching a 16-year old you’ll never know if you don’t try.

We teach best done through our example.

Since there isn’t a Catholic Church close to our home, we are exploring the two Churches nearest to our home – one 100 meters away, the other is two miles away.
