Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Jeff, your actions must rise to your ambitions.
Big ambition paired with anything less than big actions is doomed.
Perhaps the Universe isn’t giving you what you want because you aren’t convinced that you really want it.

Most ambitious person at Disney Institute?
Last week at Gold’s Gym i bumped into a 20+ year Disney Cast Member with a diverse and acclaimed resume. He has helped Disney Institute on some big projects, yet we never worked together – we know the same people though.
He is feeling stuck in his career and is looking to enroll in an advanced degree.
i offered him an alternative thought.
Shared with him (because the conversation led us to this) that a new leader at Disney Institute (DI) became my boss and in our very first one-on-one meeting, i said, “We need to address the elephant in the room. Thirty years at Disney, 15 of them at DI, and i remain a facilitator. Why?”
He, with two Master’s degrees, wasn’t clear on where i was going with the point, so i continued, “Generally we think of ambition as climbing the ladder vertically – a tangible measurement. But i have chosen a different path; to stay at the lowest level. But make no mistake, i’m the most ambitious person on our team.”
Insight: Not everything that can be measured matters and not everything that matters can be measured.

The secret of life is to take your time, but hurry up.
Don’t rush through life, but don’t live like you have forever.
Don’t let your blind ambition erase your intuition.
Intuition tells us life is riddled with regret, mostly because we never see it coming.
Wondering how many 80 and 90 year olds would have changed course in their 40’s, 50’s, or 60’s had they known then what they know now.

Nearly every employee of the 60k+ knows what tomorrow is. Disneyland’s 59th birthday. Flying to Winnipeg as this is typed (April 7) with Saving Mr. Banks the in-flight movie.
“…if any of you start resting on your laurels, I mean just forget it, because…we are just getting started.” – Walt Disney
The toughest job we will ever love is the one where we are true to ourselves. Only then will magic happen. And yes, MLC is just getting started.
