Authentic and pure

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
His last leader at Disney labeled him a zealot.

 

Internal scripts and conversations we have with ourselves can influence our beliefs into something that isn’t true.

A great friend, Dennis, says things only become sayings or cliches if they are true.

You cannot be a prophet in your hometown.

It is not the world that frightens him. It’s his friends.

Like most, he has held back on his dreams his entire life because of the negative scripts, even though he could easily be mistaken for being bold and inspired.

It’s killing him because he struggles to overcome what should be easy to overcome:

Fear

He will figure it out, but probably not today.

It really comes down to this mini-epiphany:

Is it fear or humility holding him back?

Maybe it’s the fear of not appearing humble.

.wake .up

KOHL's Purpose statement
Very noble and lofty.

 

(Highly recommended you read this as if you are talking to yourself)

.wake .up

Is it time to wake up to what makes me come alive?

Is it possible to balance doing that with all the other daily responsibilities i must deal with?

Only one person can answer this. This means no one can override my answer.

“But what if I’m wrong?”, i say to yourself.

What if i’m not?

.wake .up

Go.

Do something great

Man carrying a large beer in each hand at Disney
The feeling we are looking for is sustainable, not temporary.

 

Life is not about pleasure, it’s about paying attention. Weirdly enough, paying attention is what brings sustainable pleasure.

Do something great. Mend an important relationship before it’s too late, help raise money to find a cure for something incurable, or, do something in between.

It doesn’t matter what you do. Not sure what to do? For starters, pay attention.

And don’t blame the Universe for making you rich with peace and contentment.
