Leadership is BS

Read the green text bubble. While on the first six-mile leg of an 11-mile walking day, sent a group text to a dozen college buddies. Then the green bubble below…

Suspected, because it’s a holiday, that there could be some bandwidth for others to chime in. Sharing some photos from the thread for posterity. Real life in real time. The 13 of us have known each other since 1977-78. We generally have had annual get-togethers since then. Here are some photos in today’s thread…

Since returning from Australia four days ago, we are slowly normalizing our home routine.

Worth noting we went from three weeks of Australia Winter (temps ranged from 50-70) to Florida Summer with heat index of 110 all week.

Didn’t walk as much as planned in Australia because of the morning’s ‘cold weather’. So being back home, i’m trying to ‘make up for lost mileage’.

This reminds me to remind myself…

Never let society’s embarrassingly low health standards be yours. Set polarizing, high health standards.

This is true leadership.

If you’re not leading yourself first, you’re a puppet.

You’re welcome.

Think ambitiously

Common sense trumps any appeal against common sense.

Think ambitiously if you want to have fun and do your best with no regrets.

What does ambition provide that lack of ambition doesn’t?

How do you measure ambition?

How do you increase, or decrease, ambition?

How likely is regret if you have too much or not enough ambition?

Ambition is available in every life aspect.

Attitude. Health. Peace. Career. Vibrancy.

Be ambitious enough to be remarkably positive.

Wellness whiplash

As a general rule, everything takes longer than expected. If Disney Ran Your Life podcast is no exception.

Wellness whiplash is when we regularly apply decent focus and discipline, but cave during the holidays, or anytime, when our stress is peaking.

A key insight is knowing there will always be stressful life situations. Some are predictable and others surprise us.

Personal vibrancy, in layperson’s terms, balance, is the key to defending everything you’ve worked for and everything you hope to maintain and grow.

Loving how If Disney Ran Your Life podcast is evolving and becoming a wise and self-directed resource for people on a journey to control the controllable and let go of the uncontrollable – and of course, the wisdom to tell them apart.

The secret sauce for authenticity

Disney Vacation Club
i am Disney.

The secret sauce for authenticity is self-reflection.

It ain’t any more complicated than that.

Want to feel truly authentic?

Know thyself.

And then, to thine own self be true.
