Death – Page 10 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Do we need a more sobering reminder?

Disney Management Speakers — Jack the bear has been around the world. This is the bead jar’s first trip.

Paulo Coelho’s sober reminder, “One day you’re going to wake up and there won’t be any time left to do the things you’ve always wanted to do.”

Fake it until you make it

positive quote — Yesterday from LinkedIn.

Fake it until you make it.

Belief is a powerful force.

In fact, if there is something you think you can’t do, you can verify it’s true (with yourself – you’re already convinced) because you haven’t done it.

Insider tip: Whatever your impossible is, know it will never turn out like you think. When you finally do the thing you thought you couldn’t, it either turns out better or worse.

i know friends, family, and colleagues who refuse to try because they are not willing to take the risk on better or worse.

You’re doing it wrong, Jeff

Opening Apple Watch 3 box — Opening the box that was shipped from China, at Epcot – a little earlier in the plan than hoped, but we graciously complied at the Epcot bag check table.

You’re doing it wrong, Jeff.

Ok.

To which i think to myself, “But at least i’m doing it.”

Why does that matter?

For many, it doesn’t matter.

And then i remind myself i thought that way too.

Then a series of changes happened and i began a long, slow journey in thinking differently.

The aha moment?

Once i’m doing it, i have a chance to do it better.

Life.

It ain’t a dress rehearsal.

Waiting for perfect means not starting.

Not starting, for me, was riddled with excuses.

Using June 8, 2019 as a deadline for life.

Taking an unopened box to Epcot to open it.

Yeah the stuff i have no role model for.

Live like you mean it.

Or not.

Our choice.

i’m fascinated by the mental results of setting a 10-year deadline

Disney Leadership advice — A note to myself from June 2013, as i listened to George Kalogridis’s leadership Keynote Speech. Trusting your gut was one of seven points he made that have served him well.

i’m fascinated by the mental results of setting a 10-year deadline.

Not because George Kalogridis, Walt Disney World President said it, but because i believe in it.

Trust your gut.

My gut told me in December 2008, six months before my 50th birthday, to make a 10-year plan to include everything that i wanted to do in life before i die.

The crazy part was saying to myself, “Since no one knows when they will die, what would happen if you set an artificial, yet realistic, deadline in which to do everything you want before time is up?”

Here’s the thing, i have never in my life heard of such an endeavor.

So it’s likely, no one i know has heard of anyone either.

So if i make this claim that i’m doing it, how crazy (ridiculous) would that be?

i did it anyway.

Trust your gut.

This takes some serious thinking.

As of today, i have 21 months to finish up.

That’s the main reason i’m flying to Glacier National Park tomorrow for four days – to see GNP dusted in snow. It may be the last chance i get.

Will i write 5-a-day until i die?

Disney University — Life in my hometown the other day. Went for a bike ride after writing for the first two hours of the day.

There’s a chance i will continue to write 5 daily, differently-themed blog posts until the day i die.

It helps me see things i never saw before.

It helps me see things i always see, but now with a remarkable clarity.

Those two things have become a source of oxygen – something i can’t live without.

i love writing.
