The biggest mistake wanna be writers make

Disney Executive Speakers — The Hub is in the center of it all.

Met with a Disney World Professional Intern yesterday at her request. She had never met a Disney Institute facilitator and wanted to. She also wants to become a writer and an inspirational catalyst. She is living proof that the future is in good hands.

Writing for the public is hard. Writing for yourself is transformational.

Transformation is the best story we can write.

You “become published” with every step you take.

Want to be a writer but afraid you aren’t good enough to make the impact you dream of? And it’s holding you back?

Just start writing.

Everyday.

Write like you mean it.

An example of answering the call to do something great

The fundamental challenge from Mid Life Celebration to the world is simply this:

Do Something Great.

Mend an important relationship before its too late. Help raise money to find a cure for something incurable, or something in between.

Is there a deadline?

Yes.

Death.

Pick a byproduct

One of many first draft logos received two days ago.

As physical pain is a warning to our body, discontent is a warning to our attitude.

Either way, a sign is presented that some action is required.

We see this as a gift or a problem.

Waiting and doing nothing feed fear.

Fear’s byproduct is discontent.

And discontent is poison.

But action feeds progress, which rids the poison and negates discontent.

Here’s the reward for action:

Progress’s byproduct feeds hope.

It is so easy to back down from living in the now and pushing forward

(photo: Labor Day weekend 2014… a bunch of 55-years olds gathered at a Buddy’s North Carolina Mountain cabin… contemplating life, work, grandkids, retirement, etc)

It is so easy to back down from living in the now and pushing forward with our big (or simply enjoyable) dreams.

When the tough decisions have to be made to continue forward in the direction of something uncharted, we are tempted to wait.

If the decisions were easy, we wouldn’t need, or want, more time to decide.

And waiting becomes a (bad) habit.

Today is yesterday’s tomorrow.

Should we retire this year, at 55, and go full on with our retirement plans, or should we wait until 60 or 65?

See what I mean?

What would you do?

Retire in 2014 (55), 2021 (62) or 2024 (65)?

The longer you postpone retirement, the bigger the pension.

The sooner you launch your dream, the longer you get to work on it.

None of us had a definitive answer.
