Sort of Not – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Mentally prayerful

picture of a word — Problem or opportunity? Problem or challenge? Midlife crisis or midlife celebration? Balance is a myth? Balance is not a myth? Words always steer your thoughts? Words never steer your thoughts?

Mentally prayerful.

Think with your feet.

Think ’til you bleed.

Think like you mean it.

Do you start every brand new day thinking nothing but good, decent, optimistic thoughts? Does your actionable to-do list reflect specific good, decent, and optimistic actions?

This is a great place to start if you want to replace theory with action.

Long posts are easy

Dan Fogelberg Souvenirs album cover — Listened to this album walking home from gym yesterday. Short and pithy blog posts are part of my plan. See what i did there?

Writing long blog posts is easy.

It’s short and pithy posts that get tricky and challenging to scale day after day for a decade.

Let’s see how i do today.

My attitude is ready and willing.

It’s fascinating how easily we focus on others

USDA — Yesterday morning a car parked on our cul de sac. This is not normal. It is also not normal for someone to exit their vehicle and walk through a neighbor’s yard. PS. The photo came after the blog content below. Fascinating.

It’s fascinating how easily we focus on others.

It’s so easy to spot people we think drive worse than us.

But how often do we spot people who drive better than us?

Like, um, never.

Crazy, right?

Do we even care?

Why is that?

Every single day we have more than we can handle

The challenge with living like we mean it is there is so much to choose from. Then add to that the unexpected, but regular, challenges life throws our way.

Every single day we have more than we can handle. And what we can’t handle today gets added to tomorrow’s list of ~~normal~~ things plus a growing list of things we don’t have time for.

And we wonder why we are stressed out.

What do you do everyday because you’re passionate about it? And hate when you don’t get to do it?

So add to the daily ‘live-like-you-mean-it’ recipe the dissatisfaction that comes from not getting to embrace our passion.

The constant temptation to short change our dreams.

Time.

It all comes down to time doesn’t it?

And priorities.

And balance.

No?
