Milestones – Page 9 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

2,400 bottles of beer on the wall…

Comic Book box — Speaking of genesis (below), photo from yesterday at the Comic Book store.

Today becomes the 2,400th consecutive day of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts…12,000 posts:

Mind • Body • Spirit • Work • Home

Prior to April Fools Day 2009, i had not gone more than three consecutive days, and had never written five posts in a single day.

The genesis was a self-imposed 100-day writer’s bootcamp.

The pre-genesis was the 1979 promise (as a college Junior) i made to write a book of wisdom “for my kids”.

Dear Son, a Sunday morning of epic proportions

Florida hawk on a fence — Yesterday morning during bike ride near Disney University. You rarely get this close to a hawk.

There are days in our lives when an event happens without warning and we are stunned.

Stunned at it’s abrupt arrival.

Stunned by the emotional turmoil that rocks our world.

Stunned at the aftershocks, even as new tremors erupt.

Yesterday morning was one such day.

Life will go on.

And it will go on in a better way because of what we learned as a Family.

We have these moments in life that surprise us at first

Amazon Book pricing — Book price reduction went live yesterday, April 6, 2015. Dropped to $10.99 from $19.99 at author’s request.

The following is from two nights ago…decided it is blog worthy today…

Typing this in the dark.

We have these moments in life that surprise us at first but then they don’t.

Lying in bed right now, on this Easter Sunday night, a moment.

And the thing is, our little moments are insignificant to the rest of the world.

But they astonish us.

Six years ago, couldn’t write my way out of a wet paper bag.

But started writing anyway. And as a result, in just five more days, the 11,000th blog post will go public.

Relish your insignificant moments, because no one else will.

But that doesn’t mean your moment isn’t significant.

It is.

And use your moment to create more moments.

Five days away from the five-a-day milestone

(photo: After six years, still don’t have a business card. Ordered some yesterday.)

Five days away from the five-a-day milestone. The key insight is this:

Our path never plays out the way we dream. It’s either better or worse. Our job is keep moving forward.

We can never make progress if we stop.

Duh.

Sounds so logical.

Yet why do we quit so soon after we begin these ambitious journeys?

And what happens to the folks who refuse to quit?

No one cares about your 2191 consecutive days

(photo: The writing’s goal was to get some practice so a book – to the child above – could be written.)

No one cares about your 2191 consecutive days.

No problem.

Obviously if caring about what others did or thought was the driver, today wouldn’t mark the beginning of the seventh year.

Would have quit long ago. Might not have even made it to the original goal of 100 days.

You have come far when you can not remember the last time you complained abut something.

Coming to the realization that only one person grants permission is one of the journey’s greatest blessings.
