Be prepared, mind

Being prepared is challenging.

Why?

Life.

Today’s posts are themed, as typical: mind, body, spirit, work, and home.

Be prepared to harvest, daily, and for a lifetime, the thoughts you sow.

The closer to death, mind

A critical slide in my signature Disney Customer Service Keynote. The slide summarizes the content below.

The closer to you get to death, the less you give a hoot what others think about the way you think and what you think about.

Why?

You finally realize you cannot control others’ thinking. Plus, most of us don’t know what others truly think — another late in life revelation.

Review: We live our life the way we want. None of us is gonna change who we are. (yes, exceptions exist)

To be clear, we probably have a few exceptional people we would actually change for.

So why stop caring what others think?

Because you’ll be dead soon and none of it will matter.

Die with everything, mind

Die With Zero is a book i heard about yesterday.

In summary it promotes spending your money for experiences, not to tirelessly save your money to accumulate wealth.

Actually, i tirelessly pursue ‘everything’.

Mentally dying with everything, to me, is to die with everything a growth-mindset offers: optimism, possibility, potential.

Die with zero, mind

Die With Zero is a book i heard about this morning.

In summary it promotes saving money for experiences, not to accumulate wealth. The concept dovetails nicely with my current lifestyle to learn what is ‘enough’ and to be content with it; to stop the relentless pursuit of ‘more’.

No intention to read Die With Zero. However, it is inspiring today’s blog posts theme.

To mentally die with zero, to me, is to die with zero negativity.

100% fatality rate, mind

iPhone trade-in package
Had the 14 Pro Max set to return. Long story. Glad i waited until after the unexpected Apple Store visit to take it to UPS. Why? Because i was able to retrieve it from the car and get an immediate $500 credit off the new (smaller) 16 Pro.

There’s a 100% guarantee i will die.

Not sure of my best-blog-posts-thoughts fatality rate after i’m gone.

Probably high.

Maybe a few blog post nuggets will serve Chapin.

Maybe he passes them on to his family.

But most nuggets will die.
