When you are living your dream, stay humble, and smile big with gratitude.

Right heel has been sore for a few weeks. Been stretching as i walk and that helps. Decided to bicycle to give the heel a rest. Remember, the day before was an 8-mile walk. Haven’t bicycled in maybe a year.

Last minute decided to turn towards Disney University.

We judge ourselves on our intentions, others judge us on our behaviors.

While finishing yesterday’s blogs, began thinking about today’s posts.

A couple themes/ideas raised their hand for today.

Florida winters are better than any Pennsylvania winter i ever had. Palm trees and sunshine rule in winter. But only because i sensed the distinct difference and chose the tropics over the snow and (gloomy) clouds.

The joy of sensing a legitimate return to Eastern Standard time. Not a physical return to our time zone (which is obvious and unquestionable). But a physical acclimation back to our lifetime time zone. (Yes we lived in Pacific Coast time in Washington State but the duration is fractional, not significant.)

How do i run my business moving forward? The world needs what i offer. The world has yet to admit it. Do i spend precious (sunset years) time trying to crack the unlock code for everyone or do i leave it to some other potential Oppenhiemer? i leave tomorrow morning without a signed contract/payment for a year-long Organizational Vibrancy engagement. The creative ideas swimming around are intoxicating.

Why?

i’m in a place that has a renewed sense of urgency. Remember when turning 60 was my ultimate ‘deadline’? Well, that’s come and gone.

Complacency is a thing because it’s insidious. It’s also a pushover for busy people.

Who do you know in corporate leadership who isn’t insanely busy (and overwhelmed)?

No one.

Leaders are out their mind busy (but they’ll never show it because that’s “weakness”).

Breaking important things down to their tiniest level is the starting point for understanding cause and effect.

Mental vibrancy is like mental physics. It only makes sense to people who have studied at the quantum levels. Same for body, spirit, work, home.

We watched Oppenheimer last night.

Immediately felt something unexpected.

By the way, had no idea what Oppenheimer, the movie or the man, was about.

Turns out, Oppenheimer gave birth to America’s atomic bomb.

His fascination (obsession) with cause and effect in his space led to an incredibly powerful “thing”.

Is the thing a tool to deter world war?

Is the thing a weapon to strike first?

To me that’s a mute point for today’s posts.

The point for me is a human being dedicated his existence to answering the question, “What is possible?”

In my mind, i’ve dedicated my existence to personal (and organizational) vibrancy.

What is possible when mental vibrancy is achieved?

World’s most unconventional Disney speaker.

Who is it?

And, does it matter?

Who is it?

i aim for it to be me.

Does it matter?

It does to a few.

A few who?

A few leaders trying to make a dramatic leap in their organizational culture.

Fighting severe jet lag the past week.

Going in and out of sore throat and nausea.

Big keynote speech at Disney yesterday.

Now, this morning, fighting cold and flu symptoms.

Three days ago i went to the walk-in clinic to mitigate a possible collision between an illness and a keynote speech.

i wondered, what if i become too sick to show up for the keynote?

In 25 years of speaking, i’ve never missed a speech. Have also never had to deliver a speech while sick. A remarkable batting average.

So the two separate nose swabs plus the throat swab will confirm what i have or don’t have.

Turned out all three tests said i have no illness.

But today i have classic cold and flu symptoms.

So grateful that yesterday’s wooziness two hours before speaking faded and i was ready and able and excited to go.
