Mid Life Celebration uses the same secret sauce as Disney

The guy on stage has taught every level employee, in every industry.

 

Our ability to control our attitude is greater than anyone will ever be able to convince us.

It’s way greater than we have allowed ourselves to believe.

But here’s a little secret.

There is no secret sauce.

There is a sauce, but it ain’t a secret.

Worked at Disney for 30 years. Spent a lifetime learning from the best inside the Disney organization. Spent 15 years at Disney Institute teaching Disney’s business insights to global companies.

Disney’s secret sauce is simple and not a secret. It’s the relentless discipline to always focus on overmanaging things others undermanage or ignore.

Organizational vibrancy is the result of being intentional where others are unintentional.

How do we improve without these special, daily moments?

Disney motivational keynote Speaker
This is a ridiculously small goal.

 

Here’s to hoping today provides us multiple moments of undistracted, unmedicated, peaceful introspection, in spite of the heavy burdens on our shoulders.

In these moments, our attitude is adjusted in a more deliberate way.

An intentional, good way.

This basically is a daily habit we master or don’t master.

PS. The photo above shows a bar set dangerously low. How about:

“Go a lifetime without complaining and see what happens.”

The most exhilarating exercise in joyful, lean living

Walt Disney World Map
This run two days ago was stunningly joyful.

 

When we are not busy living each day, we are busy dying each day. Either way it happens a day at a time.

If you aren’t preparing to die, you are failing at living well.

Most things have two fundamental choices.

  1. Do it or don’t do it.
  2. Believe it or don’t believe it.

Having our affairs in order is the most exhilarating exercise in joyful, lean living.

How was your day yesterday?

How was your day yesterday?

Was it another day of going through the motions?

Was it remarkably cool (in spite of the burdens we all carry)?

How does our day look today?

These are choices we get to think about and strive to achieve.

Seriously.

Every. Single. Day.

Best to live with a very low degree of intentionally?

The things we did yesterday, those we do today and tomorrow – these are the very things that affect our future options.

Same goes with the things we leave undone.

We know this.

Yet we live with a very low degree of intentionally.

Why?

Because it’s uncomfortable to be focused? To be disciplined?

For example, in two days Apple is making an announcement, probably the new iPhone reveal.

How cool is it that a product unveiling could become an amazingly exciting event? One in which many in the world become giddy.

Is anything in our life worthy of a big, highly anticipated announcement?

Anything in our life worthy of giddiness?

What if it were?

PS. An announcement is forthcoming here. Stay tuned. No specific timeline though. It could be days. Maybe months. But no more than that.
