Gone country, mind

What does it mean when someone says, I’ve gone country?

Something like this Dan and Shay song.

Sometimes, mind

Jeff Noel If Disney Ran Your Life Podcast
Me in 2014 just before retiring after 30 years at Disney. Nearing my final day i drove to Magic Kingdom Cast parking and rode the Cast Member bus to the ‘Tunnels’. Walked the Tunnel and popped up at Cinderella Castle. Walked down a deserted Main Street. Then walked over to Disney’s Contemporary Resort where i taught my final Disney Institute custom program.

Sometimes?

Yes, sometimes.

Why?

Because sometimes you don’t ‘always’ or ‘never’.

Always, mind

Disney Jeff noel quote
The first social media branding image i ever created (2008-09), ‘the chair’. Long story. No time or place to explain now.

Always?

Huh?

Always what?

Context please.

Ok.

Always intentionally over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.

Never, mind

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff noel quote
i remember telling myself this years ago. So long ago, i was still at Disney Institute.

Never?

Huh?

Never what?

Context please.

Ok.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.

Live, and let live, mind

Freedom
God bless America.
framed and folded American Flag
My Dad’s Flag. Our young Son’s hat.

Is “Live and let live” my mantra?

Yes.

In fact, i pair it like this…

To each their own. Live and let live.

What does it mean to me when i say, “To each their own”?

Every American is free to believe and do whatever they want.

The context, however, is that every American is a law-abiding citizen.

There’s also the context of the obvious American morals.

Live and let live means you live your life and i’ll live mine.

No one should live a life that detracts from their neighbor’s freedom – “To each their own. Live and let live.”
