Are happiness and joyful the same thing?

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
Happiness is probably the wrong choice of word. Joy is a better word.

 

Are happiness and joyful the same thing?

i think they are literally indistinguishable.

However, happiness gets so much criticism.

There’s less resistance and more margin using joy instead of happy.

Both emanate from gratitude.

Be intentional about counting your blessings.

Every day.

All day.

It is there you will find both happiness and joy.

What’s Disney’s secret sauce?

 

People hire me for one reason, and one reason only.

To reveal Disney’s secret sauce.

What’s Disney’s secret sauce?

It’s simple.

It’s equivalent to Apple’s IOS – an Operating System that allows excellence (aka greatness) to scale, reproduce, and grow.

Think about these statements…

Our attitude affects us.

Our experience affects us.

Our beliefs affect us.

Our codependence affects us.

Our reflection (or lack thereof) affects us.

You may be able to make me smile, laugh or feel good.

But…

No one can make me happy but me.

Will Smith just revealed an operating system who’s DNA centers on a simple concept.

You are the CEO of YOU, Inc.

The stress that happiness brings

Walt Disney World Leadership
Yesterday, lunch at Magic Kingdom.

 

Anxiety has always been an adulthood prerequisite.

Anxiety generally increases from our school-age years to our early twenties as we take on adult responsibilities.

Anxiety generally falls steadily over the rest of our life as we learn to cope with being the CEO of You, Inc.

Could people who lead meaningful lives be more susceptible to anxiety?

Time flies dangerously fast

College president quote
Inspiring, right? That’s a President’s job. Every leader’s job, really.

 

Some people can’t wait for 5pm, some can’t wait for Friday, others can’t wait for the holidays at the end of the year, and some people can’t wait for their lives to settle down so they can finally pursue happiness.

But you don’t have to be one of them.

Please don’t wait until your life is almost over to realize how good it has been.
