An attitude of why is essential

Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom — Earlier this week, at the midway point of a long run from home.

Forget about what and how.

An attitude of “why” is essential.

My career as a Disney Institute professional speaker taught me the most important difference between presenting information and facilitating learning.

If i tell you, you will never remember. If i help you discover it for yourself, you will never forget.

People get so focused on what Disney does and how they do it. This approach is destined for failure. Why? Because you are not Disney.

But once you understand why Disney does things the way they do, you will find your own way to do the what and the how – because your “why” is the same as Disney’s.

It doesn’t matter what we know

Something about this that says, “genius”.

To know is to do. To know and not do, is to not yet know.

Reread until it makes sense, and it will.

The reward for being a midlife warrior isn’t readily apparent

Great Dane lap dog — Try to tell the Great Dane he is not a lap dog. Try to tell ourselves we can be anything.

Second day back from the four-day Senior Assisted Living and Nursing Home visit. Wrapping up the afterglow, inspiration and insight with today’s five posts.

The reward for being a midlife warrior isn’t readily apparent. Bottomline reality is this:

Life is hard.

In nature, it’s called the food chain. Everyday, living things must accept their place in the chain and fight for their survival. Nature never takes a day off.

We can take solace in knowing our weariness from the daily grind is a gift. Or we can carry an unbearable burden if we see this as a curse.

Choose wisely.

Be fit. It’s the only way to thrive.

The answer you are looking for

Film crew at Disney World — Last night at Epcot, a film crew. There’s never going to be a film crew capturing us at our best.

How do i change the things in my life that no longer serve me? I’ve tried everything, and i just can’t seem to overcome the never-ending obstacles and excuses.

The answer you are looking for…drumroll please….

Think small.

And gradual.

The time will pass anyway, do something.

August 3, 2015

Podiatrist office patient chair — Yesterday morning, discussing someone else’s options.

August 3, 2015 (yesterday).

This is the day a Baby Boomer did three things on the journey to authenticity:

rethink • reprioritize • recommit

i witnessed the first day which was yesterday.

It will change this person from surviving (like the Herd) to thriving (like the Movement).

Being authentic begins and ends with the person in our mirror.

Authenticity has nothing to do with what others think.

Only a wake up call is powerful enough to get our serious attention.

But it may not be enough. Time will tell.
