Panic serves no one

Day to day, humanity leans heavily on stress and distress.

We rarely lean on joy, confidence, and growth.

What if this was reversed?

Good news, you can.

Arriving home late is not worth it

Airport departure sign
Note time in upper right corner. Third flight from top is ours.

 

An alarm chiming at 3:30am in Montana is the price paid for a decent arrival time in Orlando. The 20-minute drive to Kalispel airport and an easy rental car return process made it undemanding to arrive early for a 6:15am wheels up.

.

PS. Note to self for posterity: 08.06 Saturday fly home 730am

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Hallelujah kind of day

Yesterday was (and today is) a Hallelujah kind of day.

 

Yesterday was a victory.

Hallelujah.

Everyday, if we are focused, turns out to be a Hallelujah kind of day. But it’s hard with the weight of the world on our shoulders to remember this.

Only when the weight feels like it’s lifting do we find time to pause and count our blessings in the midst of overwhelm.

Yesterday was a better-than-average productive day.

i find it paramount to remain determined and to keep going – one ordinary day at a time – and only accept victory over what challenges me.

Insignificant dates

Yesterday morning, a water break at Disney University on the way to Magic Kingdom. The Pinocchio statue is awarded to Cast Members with 30 years of service.

 

Insignificant dates.

Living like we mean it.

Things that we don’t have time to worry about until it’s too late.

June 8, 2019 is insignificant.

Yet it’s the day i turn 60.

Back on January 1, 2009 when i officially incorporated a small, solo, entrepreneurial LLC business, i gave myself 10 years to do everything in life i wanted to do. It felt good to be six moths ahead of the “official” starting line (June 8, 2009) when i turned 50.

The first half of the vision is over – “spend five more years at Disney to reach the official retirement age (55) – and the 30 years of Disney service milestone – and then five more years to put a dent in the universe.”

There are just over 3.5 years left to do everything in life i hope to do.
