The longer you look, the more you see

Mt. Oberlin draped in clouds yesterday. Rain is on its way. 

The longer you look, the more you see. 

Blinding flash of the obvious. 

Right?

Over-focus on the amount of time you spend nurturing, honing and improving your attitude. 

Why?

So that you spend more time doing it.

Why?

Because you will see and feel things – and learn things – you never would have if you short changed yourself. 

When you change what you see, what you see changes. 

Knowing the obvious isn’t enough, you must act.

The long way is the shortcut

Grinnell Glacier Overlook hike.

The long way is the shortcut.

If heavily promoted shortcuts worked, it would be the standard not a shortcut.

There is no shortcut to Granite Park Chalet.

Up at 5AM, got the last parking space at The Loop, hit the trail by 8:00AM and arrived at Granite Park Chalet at 11AM. Jared took us to room 18.

Life is good.

Later, we hiked three miles roundtrip to Grinnell Glacier Overlook, returning to Granite as the sun set.

To Granite Park and beyond

Yesterday on Mt. Oberlin. Toy Story 4 Character.

To Granite Park and beyond.

Because rain is in today’s forecast, the eight-mile route we take to hike to Granite Park Chalet is still in question.

Either way, it will be an adventure for me and my hiking partner.

He currently hails from Disney’s Animal Kingdom, so he should feel right at home here.

Embracing your inner geek

Everyone is geeky about something. The lucky ones are geeky about following their passions, even if it takes 60 years.

Embracing your inner geek will help you fuel a positive mental attitude.

You know how i know this is true?

i easily imagine life without following my dreams and passions.

Be a geek, a dreamer, a misfit, a believer, a contributor, an artist, a joy.

Or not.

You see how that two-word sentence makes it delightfully (or painfully, depending on our choice) clear we get to pick from one of two options?

Will your needle move today?

Lake McDonald from Apgar Village shore. Last night.

Will your needle move today?

What needle?

The metaphorical needle that measures personal and professional growth.

After my 40th birthday in 1999 i began to .think .differently about my life because i became a Disney Institute Speaker in 1999 and a Dad in 2000.

Becoming a professional teacher and parental teacher simultaneously was a perfect blend of positive wake-up call.

There are events you can’t plan for like in the previous two paragraphs and then there are events like today, tomorrow, and the day after that.
