Passion – Page 4 – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

How many days count?

Disney Management Keynote speaker — Can’t help but wonder how long Steve Jobs and his team took to finally land on an apple.

A question we rarely ask ourselves:

How many days count?

It’s so easy in our daily busy-ness to postpone living like we mean it until we catch our breath.

This may be the scariest thing – maybe we are real-life zombies.

What proof do we have that we’re not?

What test do we take to show that proof?

The writing epiphany from The Crown of the Continent

Lake McDonald reading room — Never knew there was a reading room in Glacier National Park (Lake McDonald Lodge).

Want to be a writer?

Or is there some other dream?

The secret to getting there?

Ship.

Daily.

In spite of the fear it’s not good enough.

One more thing, don’t worry about becoming famous, worry about being authentic (or fascinating) enough that your Family and friends will find value.

Try to explain passion to someone who’s never had it

Should we love uncertainty?

road work sign — Yesterday in our front yard. Can road work employees consider their work art? Should they?

Art rarely can be scaled for a production line.

Yet Apple does it with the iPhone.

However, art, for mere mortals like you and me, cannot be scaled.

But is can be replicated in original ways every single day.

It’s called passion.

A calling.

A drive to do the ordinary in extra-ordinary ways.

And each day because we begin anew, we can never be sure of our finished product.

Sometimes we fall short, or even fail.

And this is beautiful.

It reminds us of how uncertain art can be.

Art always carries risk.

And the minute we try to remove uncertainty from our art, something dies.

Removing uncertainty destroys the thing we originally fell in love with.

Whatever we do today, it won’t be the result that makes it magic, it will be the uncertainty.
