Are we good at what doesn’t matter and poor at what does?

We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. — Thich Nhat Hanh

What can we learn from the Walt Disney World marathon runners?

  • that it’s okay to think BIG
  • they convinced themselves it was important enough to risk failing
  • they knew it would be one of life’s biggest challenges
  • they knew it would be amazing to be able to say, “I did it
  • they shipped, they took action
  • but first, they dreamt of finishing (shipping)

Everything on this list speaks to positive outcomes and the power of thinking that way.
