What mental pain

There’s pain in risky choices. Both being from Pennsylvania, could we actually pull off making a life in Florida? So far away from family. No “traditional” change of seasons. The pain from uncertainty became worth it for us in this case.

What mental pain do you want in your life?

i’ll gladly take the pain of having a mind that rarely rests because it is continuously thinking about better ways to do everything.

What pain do you want to avoid?

i want to avoid the pain that stems from a lack of consistent thoughts about the best ways to do things. And the regret that comes from doing things in a subpar way.

2024’s final week, mind

Mickey Mouse and Jeff Noel at Disney Institute
Mickey just told me he and Minnie have never had Christmas week off.

Have had the past decade of Christmas weeks off.

Ten straight years.

The full week from Christmas Eve to New Years Day.

Off.

Why?

Started a business in 2009. Then retired from Walt Disney World in 2014.

It could be worse

December 24, 2024.

Christmas is glorious for some, painful for some, and a non-event for some.

It’s helpful to not only remember this at Christmas but every day of the year.

A well established growth mindset is a glorious gift you give yourself.
