So many people, so much surviving…

Team Disney building
About 15 minutes into yesterday’s 10-mile Disney run.

 

So many people, so much surviving…if each of us conducted a simple survey for a couple days would it reveal a life-changing epiphany?

Spend the next few days (two to four at the most) casually asking the people you come across this question:

Would you say you are closer to thriving each day or surviving each day?

Then ask yourself the same question.

And decide if you are good to go with your answer.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Excitement or trepidation for 2016?

Excitement or trepidation?

 

Excitement or trepidation for 2016? We have five days, counting today, to launch our new year plan. That is, unless you’re a freak and you decided to begin somewhere between Summer and Fall.

A toast…to all the freaks out there.

It’s this simple

Commitment isn’t when you feel like it.

It’s all day, every day.

Attitude.

Yours.

Go.

The art of midlife looking

Top Disney Management Conference speakers
Seriously, every single day before heading out the door, i write five different blogs on five different web sites. The sun is just beginning to hit Cinderella Castle.

 

The art of midlife looking (seeing your life differently).

  • Be ever present
  • Continuously break the self-imposed tyranny of conformity
  • See the wonderland in your dreams

Art is doing things differently or better than the way the Herd does it.

My breakthrough arrived insidiously, during 2014. That 2008 impossible goal to write five different blogs on five different sites was ridiculous. On top of that, i wrongly envisioned it morphing into something remarkable.

Yet miraculously, i never abandoned writing five daily, differently-themed blogs on five different websites.

And the art that is created each morning is original and different, but definitely not better. The beauty in art is that different is all you need.

Nearly everything is situational

Homeowner swimming pool app
Yesterday, December 11, it was 85 degrees.

 

Nearly everything is situational.

Many in the central and northeastern United States were enjoying sixty-plus degree temperatures.

i just smiled as i checked our pool water temperature. It was 79. The water. The air was so warm, we closed the windows and ran the AC.

The weirdness of Christmas shopping in December without a coat and gloves is not weird in Orlando. We do it every year.

As antagonistic as this sounds, i say it with love. If you don’t like the cold weather, perhaps doing something about it would help you get over it. It did for me.

PS. i’m not a fan of the Summer heat, but i’ve learned to embrace and cherish all the wonderful things that come with (insanely hot) sub-tropical summers.
