The subtly painful truth about growth

Obligatory photo. From Rising Sun Motor Inn, head East and you’ll you leave Glacier and can drive North a few miles before re-entering Glacier.

Yee-haw!

 

Overcoming is the path to growth.

Little did i know yesterday morning that the day would end with a major personal achievement – overcoming a severe fear. And it had nothing to do with horses.

.

Note to myself for posterity: 08.02 Tuesday breakfast at Many Glacier, Cracker Flats two-hour horseback ride, lunch at Swiftcurrent, relax at Rising Sun, dinner at Logan Pass, Cheryl was not up to hiking Hidden Lake Trail so Chapin and i did the High Line trail entrance. The Highline Trail has always frightened me.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa was home for six years

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort
Yesterday walking in for 7am meeting.

 

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa was home for six years. It was nice to go back yesterday. But it was weird to have a 7am meeting there. That hasn’t happened since 1999.

Reminded me of the those good old days, except for one thing – i was dressed in running shorts and a t-shirt.

Met a man that can best be described as a passionate risk-taker. No, not Walt Disney. But a man with a dream nonetheless.

If this is true, what does today and our future hold

As we think so we are.

Most of us, myself included, have inferiority complexes.

As we reach midlife we should experience these feelings much less often.

Why?

Because of the way we think.

i believe it’s possible to eliminate negative thoughts with the help of a balanced approach to life.

Bottomline (in my opinion), we need to feed ourselves with positive self-talk, continuous personal development, and constant loving care of our mind, body and spirit.

Profoundly simple.

Simply profound.
