Habitual hope, mind

This place comes in as my third favorite place on our planet. The video below is my favorite place, our back porch/yard.

Hope is a great strategy but a poor tactic.

i “hope” to watch many sunsets.

But hope doesn’t create the daily habit to have watching today’s sunset on my mind.

Goals and hope are synonymous.

So using this synonym, having a goal is a great strategy, but a poor tactic.

Going to the gym is a great strategy to increase my fitness, but useless without tactical habits: scheduling the gym, traveling to the gym, and spending time in the gym doing the reps. Week after week. Year after year.

Watching daily sunsets is a great goal (strategy), but useless without scheduling the time, taking my seat, and waiting patiently.

There have been years in my life of never watching sunsets. And years where i catch some of them.

Never is the enemy of sometimes.

However the pinnacle tactic is to watch ‘all’ of them.

Also, i’ve had years where i see nearly all of them.

Remember, to make habits, hope doesn’t do it, the tactical reps do.

Sometimes is the enemy of always.

Always is the best tactic for habitual hope.

Exploit hope, mind

snow covered mountains and lake
Exploit has a positive side to its definition. Focus only on exploitation’s positive, growth-mindset side.

What the New Year brings you proportionally depends on what you bring to 2026.

Same for each month, week, day, and moment.

Same for each thought, dream, and goal.

Constantly bring your best if you want to constantly be your best.

Welcome 2026, mind

Most photographed spot in Glacier. We generally photograph it twice a day when staying on the East side.

You were born to triumph with optimism and possibility.

Think like you mean it.

Grow like you mean it.

Improve like you mean it.

Teach like you mean it.

What’s the killer app, mind

It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

Optimism is the killer app.

Jimmy Carter RIP

Jimmy Carter's memorial service
January 09, 2025. Incredible lineup. Impressed.
Disney Institute Quality Service open enrollment program facilitators
Photo: 2008+-? Another incredible lineup. Me, Byran, Mickey, and a Jamaican Disney Institute participant during a time when Usain Bolt had inspired the move i’m doing. He and his team did it first and then i asked to do one with him and Bryan (my co-facilitator).

More of the Jamaican team members.

Didn’t watch most of this service but the parts i did watch were incredibly inspiring.

Ps. Was preoccupied with working diligently on my Disney Keynote Speaker business. Cheryl had it on in the adjacent room so i could hear it while i worked.
