Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Are mistakes really gifts in disguise?

Success is built upon a foundation of failure.
Mid Life Celebration, and yesterday’s Leadership Keynote speech was fertilized with failure.
The long way is the short cut.

This was the warmup 5k. The race time was five minutes faster.
What if we had the habit of having the guts to risk failure?

We don’t have to be ordinary.
Make your best mistake.
Then do it again.
And again.
It takes tremendous faith and conviction to believe what we want to happen will happen eventually…

Not only don’t we have to be ordinary, we don’t want to be.
Not anymore.

The teen wore a tee-shirt (above) that implies making mistakes is part of life’s journey, our obligation.
Making mistakes is part of life. A huge part.
As important to learning how to thrive, as learning to walk.
Yet aging reduces that desire in many people.
Where is the wisdom in that?

Failure? I’m not the person the world wants me to be.
Thank goodness.
Too many people are trying to mold us into something they think we should be.
Midlife celebration is our get-out-of-jail-free card.
