Counting down 3, 2, 1

Two nights ago at State Final Basketball game. What dreams from our childhood do we still cherish?

 

Counting down 3, 2, 1…

Today, tomorrow, and then my 57th birthday.

Three days from now the decade-long journey becomes more real.

Odds are decent i’ll live past 60, but it’s not a 100% guarantee.

This is why i boldly declared committed to pursuing a 10-year dream to do everything in life i want to do, as if turning 60 was my last day on earth.

In three days, there are only three years remaining.

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.

Stress can destroy our positive attitude

Minutes before the 5pm tip off.

 

Feeling a sense of overwhelm for about 10 days now. And have been working desperately hard to undo it.

Yesterday i started seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

Had to quit working by 2:30pm yesterday in order to travel to a High School Class 3A Basketball State Championship game.

When work piles up, we can ill afford to cut our workday short.

But when we are in control, we can cut work, without guilt, whenever we need to.

Almost 13,000 blog posts from a guy who couldn’t write

Does June 1st mark the beginning of Summer 2016?

And if it doesn’t, what does?

The advent of June reminds me, because my 57th birthday is June 8, that there are three years remaining on the 3rd of five bucket list items i wrote in my second blog post ever.

Yes, second as in second post ever written. You can see it here.

Today my attitude must insist

My attitude today is this:

Today’s audience will walk away never thinking about customer service in the same way again.

Now and then at Walt Disney World

Disney's Contemporary Resort
Where i stood to take this photo used to be a parking lot, and the Convention Center (right) used to be a parking lot too.

 

The Walt Disney World full-marathon is today. Something like 100k runners and fans. So many dreams for so many people. Most people who run their first marathon never keep running. But some do. Today we hope to add a few more lifetime wellness advocates to the list.

On a side note, January (mid-1980’s) used to be a “ghost town” at Walt Disney World. As a front line Cast Member at Disney’s Contemporary Resort back then, i can see what a wonderful job Marketing has done over the years to give our Guests many reasons to visit every week of every year.

Attitude helps us reach our goals and maintain our goals (for a lifetime). Without cultivating the indomitable will to think positively at all times, What we are cultivating? And are we moving towards quitting or away from it?
