Blog – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Reprise: Random photo day, mind

Whether you’re seven, or a high schooler, midlife never crosses your mind.

i wrote this thought about 20 years ago in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania.

Safe to say that my Mid Life Celebration is (and has been) morphing into a ‘later-life celebration’.

Lovin’ it!

Cheryl’s same-age cousin Michael, from Pennsylvania like me and Cheryl, flew home two days ago after a week with us.

And tomorrow we have a dear North-Florida family staying with us for a three-day weekend.

The past 90 days have been a whirlwind.

The ‘winds of change’.

Lovin’ it.

Random photo day, mind

Disney Leadership Speakers — Disney’s early 1990’s Leadership paradigm shift architecture. i was there. Lived it. Transformed by it. Then taught it full-time at Disney Institute for 15 years.

If you had the chance to dream, create, and inspire yourself to live with better life-habits, would you?

Disney over-focuses on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.

So do i.

In fact, i was inspired years ago to phrase it this way…

i over-focus on the same things i used to under-focus on or ignore.

Remember, you are the CEO of You, Inc.

Everything matters. Nothing is optional.

Habits and ambitions, mind

culture quote by Disneys jeff noel — Habits drive everything, good and not so good.

When my ambitions don’t match my habits, i trust my habits and question my ambitions.

When my thoughts match my ambitions, i do everything i can to repeat the process until i no longer need to think about thinking those good, growth-mindset thoughts.

Habits are what we think and do, without thinking.

The trap to be busy, mind

Daisies — The ultimate sophistication is simplicity, nature, and living well.

Being busy is not the same as living fully.

Being busy kills my ability to .think .differently

Being busy poisons my ability to .think .deeply

Being busy stifles my ability to hone a growth mindset.

To keep writing or stop, mind

Midlife Celebration — First blog posts are from 2008. Daily writing began April 1, 2009.

Keep writing?

Or stop?

How much more writing do i have to do, want to do, need to do?

Well, i…

Don’t have to write more.

Don’t need to write more.

But i do want to write more.

Short term (6-12 months more) says keep going.

Why?

To capture this major life transition to fixed-income, no more working lifestyle.

There’s juicy, important stuff i’ve never thought about.

That’s some of my favorite stuff to write about.
