Impossible is nothing to the person with these three free tools

United Kingdom at Epcot
Last night (March 26) while enjoying Fish & Chips

 

Dear Son,

There’s an interesting phenomenon occurring at the advent of an incredible or impossible milestone.

Impossible is nothing to the person with:

  • a purpose
  • a dream
  • determination

Impossible is nothing means little to most of us.

Yet now Son, you know someone who’s been there and done that.

And he’s six days away from April Fool’s day.

Life Changing? They’ve either been through hell, are going through it now, or will be soon.

 

The number one mental attribute for doing what you say you’re going to do?

Staying positive amidst the constant challenges and pressures.

Our attitude is connected to our hope.

Our hope is connected to our dreams.

Our dreams are connected to humanity.

It’s like a broken record for successful people in midlife

Magic Bands packaging
Walt Disney faced bankruptcy as a young businessman

 

The recurring and popular theme is the same for most successful people reaching midlife.

  • They worked hard for a long time
  • Were tempted to quit more times than they could count
  • Managed meager earnings, at best, in the beginning.

Seth Godin’s post yesterday reminded me what we all forget – Seth wasn’t always successful.

This is the path.

The good news?

The longer we follow it, the more difficult it becomes to turn back.

Was Elvis the ultimate failure?

Elvis - the ultimate failure?
Elvis - the ultimate failure?
Jack - the ultimate success?
Jack - the ultimate success?

Traveling through Memphis yesterday and remembering when Elvis was king of rock and roll, a famous movie star, and quite literally, a world icon.

Near the end of his life something happened. And I wonder if it had anything to do with the price success plays on our perception of reality and our humble place in the world.

Walt Listened To The Critics, But Not For Long

There's only one company that invests in trash cans like this.

The other day we visited Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Made a point to teach my son why everyone but Walt Disney thought a trash can like this was crazy (dumb).

It’s not uncommon for me to end a post, like this one, without any further dialogue, tip or closure.
