Your thinking map

Shopping village sign
Wildly friendly is up to each visitor.
National park lodge sign
We thought about a pre-season visit for some time. But never did it. Two weeks ago we did it.

Your thoughts are your map. Your actions are your actual trek.

dad

Your map is useless if you don’t use it.

Your thoughts are worthless if you don’t take action on them.

Thinking without doing is a cruel way to live.

You will live as an example, or as a warning.

Who’s to judge?

Anyone and everyone.

Pro tip: And if you’re smart, you’ll self-judge. All day, every day.

6-second video: After my initial panic, i shut the pump down and quickly discovered the issue.

You are free to choose your thoughts.

A growth mindset allows me to create my own dogma, traditions, beliefs, and habits.

When you discern what you/we currently believe, it is countless iterations of what various people have believed, questioned, and reframed, over the centuries.

A growth mindset puts you in charge of your own life.

It’s worth noting that everyone is always in charge of their own life.

An insightful observation reveals a primal and tribal human predisposition to follow the herd.

No harm, no foul.

Yet, i believe it is what has kept humanity alive.

That, and the outliers who believe there is, perhaps, a better way to do a particular thing.

Behave admirably. Every day, all day.

dad

A dozen or more years ago i had a frightening experience with Canada Airport Customs. While at Disney Institute, i traveled to Canada to work with Chevrolet. Even though the trip was legit and all future trips had the proper paperwork, that first trip had me feeling like a criminal with ill-intent.
