Happy Thanksgiving 2018 (and Glacier Trip #5)

sleep timer on iPhone
Five an 1/3 hours of sleep. Oh well…and so it goes. Big day today…

 

Currently, due to writer’s flood, i’m 60 days ahead of schedule. Every post i presently write has to wait 60 days before it can go live.

Why?

Because some days i write more than the five daily, differently-themed posts.

Posts are always written “live”.

Happy Autumnal Equinox as i write this today, September 22.

And happy Thanksgiving as this posts live on November 22.

PS. Leaving in an hour for 2018 Summer Glacier National Park trip #5.

Obsessively focused on balance

Glacier Park Rising Sun
The daily commute begins in seven days. Trip five for Summer 2018.

 

Obsessively focused on balance?

If you are, you are living a far more balanced life than if you aren’t (obsessively) focused on living a balanced life.

High focus and high discipline.

Low focus and low discipline.

Simple math.

Bonus insight: Your vision for the future is what powers discipline. If you want a better future bad enough, you will find a way.

Glacier withdrawal?

We had to go around a weather system to arrive safely in Orlando yesterday.

 

Glacier withdrawal?

Maybe just a tinge.

For sure i didn’t want to leave Logan Pass two days ago.

Such a beautiful day.

To be able to write and hike in Glacier is only surpassed by one factor – having family there too.

That said, solitude is an important leadership development tool.

Happy 4th Disney retirement anniversary

Disney Customer Service Speaker
24 hours ago….like now, writing like i mean it.

 

Glacier's first Summer snow 2018
A rare sight in August.

 

Glacier's first Summer snow 2018
Awoke to this yesterday.

 

Apple alarm clock
Eight hours of sleep two nights in a row, with a heater. Glacier rooms have heat but no AC. i used the heat in August.

 

Disney Motivational Speaker
Two inspirational nuggets from 24 hours ago.

 

Live as if every day could be your last (because it could).

 

This reminds me why i retired from Disney…

To not be gone so much while our Son is in High School (he just turned 18 and started HS Senior year last week).

This current business trip combines writing, relationships, and hiking.

It’s a long trip – longer than i prefer to be gone.

The great enemy of getting anything done: a comfortable amount of time.  – Alain de Botton

Live in deep gratitude every moment of every new day

Glacier Park Lodge room
Every morning begins with writing…MacBook on desk by right lamp.

Not every morning begins in Glacier National Park.

Glacier Park Lodge room
Not every morning begins in a place you’ve never stayed before – Glacier Park Lodge.

 

i’ve failed at this every time i tried it…

Try to be unhappy when you are grateful.

When you are grateful, try to be a pessimist.

It’s literally impossible.

So yeah, every moment or every new day, live in deep gratitude.
