To each their own, mind

To each their own.

Live and let live.

Live and learn.

Dear Son, repetition is the mother of all learning.

Live and let live, mind

The profile, the place, the vibe.

Live and let live.

Kinda like surrendering.

People will think differently than you.

People will think better than you.

People will think worse than you.

People will like how you think.

People will dislike how you think.

Through it all, remember this mantra…

Live and let live.

Insight: This is what you want others to do for you as well.

Live and learn, mind

disney speaker Jeff Noel
Over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore. Learning this insight rebooted my entire growth mindset.

Live and learn.

As simple as it gets.

What living and learning does is gets you ahead in a better way than you used to live.

The challenge is simply this – it leads you to new territory without a map.

Grow, learn, improve, repeat.

Feels like “suffer some growing pains joys” between improving and back again to growing.

Let’s make “SYDK” a category, mind

mountain road tunnel tinged in snow
September 28, 2018. Near Logan Pass. East side tunnel is visible on this photo’s right side. Son, you don’t know this view of east Tunnel tinged with frozen pines is one of my favorite Glacier memories. Djuan was visiting for his birthday.

Blog categories act kinda like book chapter titles.

They help me file together ‘themed’ thoughts. And the thoughts become blog posts.

Sometimes it’s a bullseye fit. Sometimes it’s a loose fit.

In prolific daily blogging, i scan the blog categories and label the post based on what seems a best fit, not necessarily a bullseye fit.

Noteworthy is that each of the five daily blogs have some similar categories, but most are different. So this step is repeated five times daily.

Initially, yesterday’s blog titles were labeled and themed “Shit You Don’t Know” (SYDK).

Today in blog-writing prep, i thought i’d make “Shit you didn’t know” a brand new category.

It took only minutes until i realized the blog category already exists…

It’s called, “Dear Son”.

Dear Son,

Shit you didn’t know…

How could you?

You were just a kid.

What you didn’t know is…

How being your dad inspired and guided everything i did (and why i did it) at Disney Institute.
