Dear Son – Page 76 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

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.

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.

Regret can only be overcome with action now

Brad Ramsey WPS Art Teacher — Photo: Windermere Preparatory School.

Brad Ramsey (pictured above), Art Teacher, Father of our 10th-grade Son’s classmate, and Assistant FB coach died unexpectedly over the weekend (Oct 8-9, 2016).

There are plenty of people praying for the Family, Faculty and students, so this isn’t to ask for that.

(optional, and not meant to imply anything, you decide what you need…)

Rather, pray for yourself.

Just pray for you.

Why?

Pause for a moment in your busy life and pray for you.

Pray for that.

For you.

(i do it all day, every day)

Life is not a dress rehearsal, live like you mean it

Life is not a dress rehearsal, live like you mean it.

Will i squander 2017?

Did i squander 2016?

You?

If you have my first book and haven’t read it, it’s economically priced.

It’s also an economic read – takes either side of an hour to finish.

If you’ve read it, have you thought about what you could gain from reading it again?

If you don’t have a copy, here’s great news?

The $4.99 Kindle edition or the $10.99 paperback are easily accessible.

If it doesn’t cause you to .rethink .reprioritize and .recommit i’ll refund your purchase price.

Few books have as much potential to minimize or eliminate regrets*.

*Regrets are non-refundable.

The paradox of being inquisitive

leadership quotes — While riding a bicycle to Disney, this thought came. At junglejeff.net **today**, you’ll see the polished version from more time to think about it.

Disney University speaker jeff noel — Photo-bombing (Walt’s shoulder) myself at DU yesterday. Having fun at work is a personal responsibility.

Our questions proclaim (whether we want them to or not) what we value.

Shallow questions, for example, reveal a shallow mindset. Begging the question, “Why so shallow?”

Deep, thought-provoking (often painful) questions, for example, reveal our mindset too, and invite the question, “Why so much thought and focus?”

It doesn’t matter which we gravitate too, what’s undeniable is how our questions speak to our values, our hopes, and ultimately, to our intentionality in achieving peace and contentment
