Mental shaman

Disney signage — A timeless theme through humanity’s timeline.

30-second video: One-take. No script, so no rehearsal. And this is what happened.

Simplicity is operational genius. Operationalize your thoughts
dad

A shaman is a person who bridges the invisible world with the visible world.

Another way of saying this is, someone who bridges dreams with reality.

A shaman possesses an uncommonly deep and broad subject matter expertise.

Operationalize is a fancier term than habitualize.

Habits are what we think and do without thinking.

Growth-mindset thinking, optimism, hope, positivity–can all be set on auto-pilot through habits.

It’s simple.

It’s compelling.

And it makes everyone’s life better.

3-day mental weekend

19-second video: This is how i roll. Disney karma from the day i was born. #truth

Vanity license plate — Ironically, shot this pic in the Disney University parking lot.

i still remember when a 3-day weekend felt like a gift from God.
dad

Most don’t know (and no one cares, why would they), that my entire 30-year Disney career never had weekends off.

There were weekends when i was off. But i never had weekends guaranteed off (like a banker or school teacher) so that i could make advanced weekend plans.

Never.

Am i bitter?

No.

Why?

Because i learned on day one at Disney University, in Disney Traditions, that “We work while others play”.
