i dream during the day, wide-awake, wide-open, no brakes.
dad
In the privacy of sleep and darkness (eyes closed) there’s safety in dreaming unconsciously. It’s a dream. Silly. Unintentional. Weird even. Def not grounded in reality.

Watch as many sunrises and sunsets as you can.
dad
Quietly and patiently watching a sunrise opens your being to a brand new day — a day you’ve never seen before, nor will ever see again.
Quietly and patiently watching a sunset closes your being to a brand new evening — an evening you’ve never seen before, nor will ever see again.
In both moments, you can think anything you want. These moments are special because without the act of sitting still to slowly watch, you will rarely pause like this.
Better to habitually pause than to not habitually pause.

Be a person of your word.
dad
If you tell me you’re gonna do something, even if you didn’t quote/unquote ‘promise’, i still consider what you said a promise.
Note to self: Be careful what i say because everything i say can (and should) be considered a promise.

Exceed expectations, pay attention to details.
dad
While at Disney Institute (DI), early in my DI career, i developed and operationalized this “Disney Customer Service” mantra. It wasn’t the content specialist designer mindset that created this. It was me trying to simplify a sparkly-design mentality. The bells and whistles, pixie-dusted vernacular had our (paying) audience blinded to the simple Disney DNA. i made and continue to make it my life’s work to deconstruct and then reconstruct Disney’s world-class operational DNA. “Pay attention to details, exceed expectations.”

Gettin’ better at one sentence insights. Ain’t there yet, but closer than most.
dad
There is an art to explaining whole volumes in a single sentence. Practice, or perfect practice if you prefer, makes perfect.
For example:
Live, before you die.
If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.
