Dear Son – Page 82 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Cooper RIP

Sanibel sunset — None of knew this would be Cooper’s last sunset; however, we were all together for his last sunset at our favorite spot.

Unless you’re emotionally attached to a sad event, it’s challenging to care about it. This post is asking for your empathy or your prayer. This post is asking that you think the same way about your own misfortunes.

When something ‘bad’ happens, particularly when it blindsides us, we are left in shock, and deeply hurting.

The antidote, at least from my 57 year perspective, is to cling to gratefulness as if our very life depends on it.

Find the reasons to be grateful, even as you cry uncontrollably.

There is literally no exception to “it could be worse”. It can always be worse. And often, it can always be much worse.

We all have shocking moments in life. July 14, 2014 was one of them.

The upside is that we were all together at our favorite place. It could have played out so much differently. i’m grateful that it didn’t.

The one thing a Disney Storyboard won’t do for you

hand drawn cottage blueprint — Hand drawn “mother-in-law” blueprint from the 1990’s. Blueprints make building infinitely easier.

The two things a Disney Storyboard will do for you and the one thing it won’t do:

Helps you identify exactly what you want to write about
Helps you determine exactly where it belongs in your storyline

• • • • •

But it doesn’t tell you what words to write

Storyboarding doesn’t make writing a book easy, it makes it easier. This is an important distinction. One that’s easy, and deadly, to dismiss.

True or false, we are all self-made?

Had to reread this and then it made perfect sense.

We are all self-made, but only the successful will admit it. – Earl Nightingale

Is having great patience enough to become virtuous?

Is having great patience enough to become virtuous?

Patience is a virtue.

That’s what they say.

But being patient, i believe, means all the time.

Not most of the time.

Not when it’s easy.

But when it’s painfully difficult.

Somewhere north of once a week.

Remember turning 16?

Still carrying that wide-eyed desire to suck the marrow out of life?
