Is this not some of the most profoundly simple wisdom?

snake oil — Change before you have to change. Profoundly simple. Simply profound. (Photo: last night at the college cafeteria).

Is this not some of the most profoundly simple wisdom?

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

And yet.

Simple doesn’t mean easy.

So here it is (simply) one more time:

Change before you have to.

The Ocean Cleanup

Disney characters — The other day before Saturday brunch. Yes, there is a theme/segue coming…

Disney Cruise Lines characters — Saturday mornings are deserted at most college dining halls..

Note, the video is from 2012 when Boyan was 18.

Not only preaching, but acting.

The Ocean cleanup.

Led by a young man in his mid-20’s.

Kinda makes me ask, “What’s holding me back from doing something to make our world a better place?”

Lean into discomfort.

Why being desperate is an advantage

Orlando Motivational Speakers — i talk about this in my **first book**. It’s the concept of having a serious wakeup call in life. A message so strong that we become a different person because of it.

Motivation, deep motivation, is rare. Which is why it’s so challenging to become a different, better person.

Without full-on conviction, our odds – of pushing through and transforming ourselves – are against us.

Seriously low odds.

Odds that never help anyone.

Please don’t misunderstand, i get the high motivation we carry during the honeymoon phase of “wanting” to change.

But we have to acknowledge and accept that the number of people who actually reach and sustain lifetime change is in the single digits.

Odds are against us.

All of us.

Always.

This is not meant to discourage you.

It’s meant to help you find what you need to do the thing you say you want to do.

Change careers.
Walk away from a codependent relationship.
Become an entrepreneur.
Reclaim your physical vitality.
Write and publish that book.
Travel.
Follow your heart.

Go.

Enjoy the Summer of 2018, but don’t

Zephyrhills water tower. Yesterday. Connecting – authentically, transparently, and enthusiastically.

Enjoy the Summer of 2018, but don’t rest on your laurels.

Yesterday’s meeting was planned a month or so ago.

There are a handful of Disney Institute clients i worked with that made significant progress by adapting Disney’s world-famous, time-tested business principles.

i have remained in contact with them in the almost four-years since i retired from Disney Institute.

Why?

Because i can still help them.

And as i confirmed yesterday, they still like the help i provide.
