Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Trust, confidence, desire
Walt Disney died 44 years ago. Do you think he’d blog if he were still alive?
“Somehow I can’t believe there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C’s. They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage and Constancy and the greatest of these is Confidence. When you believe a thing, believe it all the way, implicitly and unquestioningly” -Walt Disney
Mid Life Celebration is:
You may not realize this yet, but if you read Mid Life Celebration regularly, and especially if you’ve read every post – going back to when this conversation first appeared on the Internet, then you know a tribe is gathering and being formed here.
Internet tribes are helping change the world shape a better tomorrow.
Baby Boomers in particular, along with Generation X-ers, have an extraordinary opportunity to shape the future.
Do you have any idea what your responsibility is?
What makes these two diverse groups so unique is their combination of skills and attitudes:
Mid Life Celebration is dedicated to making the world a better place, by challenging the top 3% of male Baby Boomers to do something GREAT before they die.
And the indomitable will of any person, any age, any generation, to also help make the world a better place for future generations.
The new buzz isn’t from a can or a bottle.
The new buzz is from a ready and willing heart.
The long way is the short cut.
Baby Boomers and Gen X-er’s have the greatest opportunity to be a catalyst for positive change.
Old habits are hard to break and almost never broken.
As the saying goes, “Put up or shut up.”
The world needs role models who do more than talk about what needs to be done.
Are you that kind of person?
Are you a thermometer or a thermostat?
How often do we spend time taking a moment looking ahead?
Not talking about mid-morning, trying to decide where to go for lunch and with whom, even though that can qualify as an important decision.
Rather, looking ahead ten years.
What?
It’s hard isn’t it? That’s why we rarely, if ever, give it considerable thought.
Considerable thought.
Substantial thought.
The long and hard discussion with ourselves about our future.
It’s like reaching the top of Maslow’s pyramid.
I’ll be spending several precious days with a couple of 80-somethings. Wonder what we’ll talk about.
