Impossible – Page 4 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Reprise from yesterday’s insight about wisdom and our thoughts

Sanibel sunrise — Every day that you wake up (alive) is an opportunity to do the impossible.

Reprise from yesterday’s insight about wisdom and our thoughts…

• • •

Had my first drink at 13 the Summer of 1972.

Somewhere around 18 i went full-time.

At 41, on my third “no, this time i mean it” attempt, i stopped.

Impossible is nothing…

There was no middle ground for me. Every day or not at all. i quit on New Year’s Eve (not New Years Day), the biggest drinking day in the world.

Prior, i promised myself i’d stop if my wife got pregnant. Did well for a little while, but failed.

Made another promise, “When the baby is born.”

Did well for even longer (about 6 months) than the first failure, but failed again.

Then, as our Son was almost 1.5 years old, i decided Dec 30 would be my last drinking day.

That was 2001.

Failure paves the way for success if you want it bad enough.

There’s only one way to find out

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker — Walt Disney said, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”

There’s only one way to find out if something is impossible.

Try to do what others say can’t be done.

Try to do something no one else has thought of.

You must see it before anyone else will

will smith quote — Seven years ago, i posted this quote. Today, Facebook, you’ve got your work cut out for you.

You must see it before anyone else will.

Challenging because what we want to do probably feels impossible to us.

If it feels impossible, the journey rarely gets started.

Rarely?

Closer to never, actually.

So here’s some math, and history….

Nine years ago, the impossibility was for me to write for 100 consecutive days.

Made sense to write a lot – as practice – to prepare for writing my first book.

Now, six days from today, i begin year 10 of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

Impossible is nothing?

Depends.

On.

You.

Miracle grow for your attitude?

preparation — That Abe Lincoln quote almost hidden at the photo’s bottom edge.

Woke up today with this thought…not sure where it came from. Used Siri to dictate an email to myself because i knew i’d forget it in a minute. It’s a helpful reminder to myself. Maybe to others.

“May you have things worth being motivated about and may you have the motivation to peruse them.

And even if these things are difficult, may they be the right things for the right reasons. And may it be something important enough for you to defend.”

Go.
