Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
The reason we avoid deadlines is twofold:
1. We think we have forever
2. The deadline is too much pressure for something we don’t need right now
Long-term procrastination makes us a spectator in our own life.

The Doctor said, “We estimate you have 15 months to live.”
Just a dream?
Sort of.
i dreamt of changing the age-old question, “What would you do if you had six months to live?”
Change it to what?
“What would you do if you had 10 years to live?”
So yeah, for 8.5 years, i’ve been living like my 60th birthday is my last day.
Now, i’m 15 months away from my last day.
PS. i’m fully aware no one knows the day of their death. This is exactly why this is an intriguing endeavor.

Our life is the product of our priorities.
The thing we forget is that our priorities need to also be prioritized.
It’s not uncommon to have all the right priorities, but have the order skewed.
Sooner or later ambitious people (like me) learn the hard way that work isn’t the most important thing.
So we rethink things, reprioritize our priorities, and move forward recommitted to our enlightened vision.

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.

A great friend shared this yesterday:
“My 21-year old cousin had just been in a motorcycle accident and died twice on the table, but he miraculously made it. Then i get the invitation from you…everyone was happy at your retirement party. A few days later at my company’s (near Disney World, Time Share, obsessively money and numbers driven culture) quarterly breakfast celebration, no one was happy. That’s when it hit me that it’s not about the money.”
A blinding flash of the obvious only becomes obvious well into our life, usually decades into it.
The temptation is to rationalize that it’s too late to transform.
At 13 years his senior, was honored that he thought i could offer sound perspective and wisdom.

When will we know when it’s time to let go? Specifically, for every human being, is there ever a time in life when we can let go of the life-sustaining power of a having meaningful purpose in our life?
Spending the last five days of 2015 living in a senior housing facility with an almost 93-year old with daily visits to the adjoining nursing home to visit an almost 90-year old.
They have nearly 40 years more experience than me. They know things i may never know.
How can i tap into this in a positive way?
What if my questions cause them to think about regret rather than joy?
