Life, the Universe, nature, the wild, everything, it all wants to bury you. Never cave. Triumph!

Car or phone?

iPhone message
Today is the day. Way earlier than expected, compared to original delivery estimate of October 17-24.

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.

Forest Gump’s mom

Happy present moment.

Spending today waiting for the iPhone 15 Pro Max to arrive (by 7pm).

Been outside all day since 7:00 AM, going on nine hours so far.

Note about this post’s title “Car or phone?”: i indulge myself with an annual ‘newest iPhone’ purchase. Have never owned a new car. Seems like a fair trade off.

Remember when you are afraid, i know this feeling well. Yet i went from only driving Sun Road to climbing Bishops Cap.

dad

Son, you are the only reason i started hiking in Glacier. i never even did Hidden Lake Trail.

Why?

Because driving and pulling over at the overlooks was amazing enough for me.

Then, the only way i/we could get you to agree to a third visit was to park the car and hit the trail. Had no idea what that meant.

Remember, mom and i only visited once a decade.

Disney keynote speaker writing a book on his phone on a Disney train
Who thinks they can write a book, or a series of books, about Disney (at Disney)…all done on an iPhone?

How many reputations do you have? You have one with every person you know.

dad

Biggest challenge, greatest opportunity, for you is to control the one thing in life under your control. Your thoughts.

As you know, between stimulus and response is your challenge, your opportunity.

Be well and remain amazed.

Insight: Some key mental brand categories are:

  • Optimist
  • Pessimist
  • Positive
  • Negative
  • Open-minded
  • Closed-minded
  • Encourager
  • Complainer

The middle tree is too high for the landscape company’s ladder to reach.

You only get better at anything through practice. BFO, eh?

dad

Practiced surrendering yesterday. Big time. Surrendering is growth mindset.

Having high standards and being a known loyal customer to the owner doesn’t always translate to the staff.

One of my great opportunities is being supremely patient in these situations.

Got a C-grade until 10am (the first hour).

Got to practice (on my own, alone) for a couple hours.

Aced it after 2pm.

Kinda a longish story so stopping here.
