Go ahead and frolic, with this caveat

Frolic, as long as you have done the admirable work to deserve it.

 

To behave admirably is hard work.

Plus there’s the, you know, the…critics.

If you live your life worried about what others will think, you will regret it.

Here’s the important caveat in the notion of not worrying what others think – you must behave admirably in the process.

Happy 59th birthday dude.

Okay, so i know today is May 8th and my birthday is in 30 days; however, i also know that this post goes live on my birthday morning, June 8.

Fifty-nine .

Pretty cool.

So i’m celebrating this morning from a Louisville Hotel.

And will celebrate again in one month on the actual date.

PS. We learn the true meaning of a birthday when we learn to celebrate it every day.

Was yesterday a blur of activity?

minion and Disney speaker
Looking back on yesterday, was it a blur?

 

Was yesterday a blur of activity for you?

Or can you distinctly carve out enjoyable, memorable, and possibly transformational moments from the past 24 hours?

What if you could?

Wow, what am i doing here?

 

 

Wow, what am i doing here?

In 30 days, year nine concludes and year 10 begins.

Who takes a dreaded cultural phenomenon – Midlife Crisis – and turns it into joy, discovery, opportunity, and purpose?

Mid Life Celebration was a crazy idea i had while teaching the four-day Disney’s Approach to People Management somewhere near the turn of the century.

Bob Spina and i were co-facilitating how the language (specific, carefully chosen words) organizations use determines behavioral outcomes.

Note, the lack of intentionally choosing specific words also determines behavioral outcomes – and the outcomes are not crafted, they are by default, random and unintentional, possibly even detrimental.

Also in this discussion were symbols, values, heritage and traditions, as well as traits and behaviors.

And in the moment, as i was searching for a new way to say the same thing, i told the audience, “Do you have a problem or an opportunity, a problem or a challenge, a midlife crisis or a midlife celebration.”

From a tiny acorn, a mighty Oak does grow.

The doctor says my time on Earth is limited

inspiring messages
The messenger today is a cardboard tissue box.

 

The doctor says my time on Earth is limited.

Truth be told, so is yours.

We don’t need a doctor to tell us.

We should be telling ourselves this.

But.

But it’s scary news.

Sure.

But.

But it’s not untrue.

Use this reality to inspire you to live like you mean it.

That’s what i’ve been doing for the past 8.5 years.

Go.
