Find a different attitude lane

i like giving quote
From Facebook yesterday: I like Giving

 

(If you are already vibrantly positive, you can skip this post.)

Find a different attitude lane.

Why?

Because our attitude determines how we define every single thing in our life.

Define my life with positivity, or drown in self-pity.

My choice is obvious.

The work, arduous.

And worth it.

Dear Son, take your time, but don’t wait

Glacier Park in early Fall
Yesterday on Glacier’s Facebook page.

 

When we are in our sweet spot, life is easy, glorious, and real.

May you be fully, and constantly, aware of your sweet spot.

May you live in your sweet spot today.

And tomorrow and the day after that.

Dear Son, life’s opponent is still a secret to you

Windermere Prep High School
Yesterday waiting to pick up a freshman from high school.

 

Often, in midlife, the game of life seems to be won by the opponent labeled conformity.

If everyone is following the path, the path must be good.

So we go through the motions, like everyone else.

Stick to the tried and true plan.

No harm, no foul.

Somewhere in midlife we discover that this was an epic deception.

Then, because we are decades into our life, there seems to be no hope of a comeback. We’re too established, too comfortable, and too afraid to change.

Unknowingly, we realize that silently giving up was also an insidious part of our adult conformity.

Dear Son, enjoy the ride as a high school freshman. Thank you for our conversation last night in the pool.

You are beginning your adult journey as many have before you and many will behind you.

However, i’m glimpsing a level of confidence and self-awareness that is blooming earlier in you than it ever did for me.

Conforming seems to be anything but your desire or goal.

Dear Son, i want to spend time with you before you leave

quote about struggle
From someone’s Facebook update yesterday. Quote from Ralston Bowles.

 

When you dream, where do you draw the line on what you want to accomplish, personally or professionally?

In 2008, i dreamt that i could take a huge risk and leave a top 10 most admired company in the world to go out on my own and make an even bigger impact on the world.

Dear Son, all i want you to remember is that being intentional, focusing on balance, doing work (art) you love, doing work that benefits others, being ready when serendipity crosses your path, and being constantly grateful – this is the best recipe for peace and contentment.

For six years i didn’t quit my day job so that i could build a schedule that focused on you and Mom.

And now, with the eighth year (as an entrepreneur) one month away, i can see light at the end of the tunnel.

Good health is the gift i give my Family.

Ever think of your life that way?

Three days ago in Ft Lauderdale, the USA Today caught my attention.

 

Donald Trump speaker fee
Who commands $1.5m per speech?

 

Disney Keynote Speakers Orlando Based
Three days ago from the Marriott Harbor Beach.

 

Hoping that Donald’s success in business rivals his success with his physical health.

Currently offering a world class keynote speech featuring the Disney Way in exchange for $1.5m $21k.

As business gets busier, the exchange rate will have to increase, simply because of demand and supply.
