Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
It’s really easy, isn’t it? Why? Because that’s what we do. It’s safe. It’s predictable.
However, I just can’t accept the status quo. Can you? Do you? There has to be more. Intuitively, there has to be more. Doesn’t there?
So if there is more, how do we strive to get it? Why do we strive to get it? Should we strive to get it?
Whatever it takes to give ourselves Peace and Contentment. Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best, I think:
“We aim above the mark to hit the mark”.
Mid Life learning:
“We learn as much from sorrow as from joy, as much from illness as from health, from handicap as from avantage – and indeed perhaps more”. — Pearl S. Buck
Maybe. Maybe not. What do you think? Many mid life adults are too busy to even contemplate this kind of thinking. I know full well the medicinal affects of a busy schedule. It can be used as a shield to protect us from painful truths.
“In youth we learn; in age we understand”. — Marie von Ebner Eschenbach
Mid Life learning? Maybe. Maybe not.
Family time at the Walt Disney World Resort. This month in particular, we’ve visited Disney Theme Parks every week. Why? Cooler temperatures initiated it.
Mid Life Celebration has kept it alive. A mid life crisis is when a sort of panic (or doubt) sets in that has us question if we are on the correct path in our lives. Can’t remember ever being so busy with life. Can you?
Perhaps it’s the economic situation and the constant change that is happening all around us. What to do? Go to Disney. Walt Disney wanted a place where Families could do nice things together and forget about reality for a couple hours or a couple days.
We take frequent, but short trips to Disney Theme Parks. Here’s a jeff noel midlife You Tube from earlier this month:
Hope your Mid Life Celebration includes some Family time. It’s challenging to find quality family time, when you’re so busy dealing with all the things life places in front of you. Carpe diem.

“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven; a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted”. — Ecclesiates 3:1-2
And a time for mid life, which happens in it’s own unique way for virtually everyone. For some, like me, it can easily last a decade. For others, perhaps it comes and goes over a weekend.
The essence of a mid life crisis is that it’s a time for reflection, and asking:
Life is hard. There is no manual telling us exactly what to do. There are so many unpredictable things that change, destroy or inspire our plans. It’s up to each of us to choose wisely.
