Self-reflection harvest

pool water chlorine test kit — Our back porch is my most favorite place to visit in the world. Our front porch is second. Glacier, WDW, and Sanibel are a three-way tie for third favorite place to visit.

The harvest from the past few days’ self-reflection reminds me of several critical personal values and behaviors.

Patience – never lose it
Anger – never let it happen
Hate – never allow room for it in your heart
Surrender – habitually discern what’s outside your control
Forgiveness – God’s amazing Grace
Honesty – never have to look over your shoulder
Leadership – you are CEO of You, Inc
Role Model – your life is your message

After the writing yesterday’s posts, an aha-moment. The moment is driven by the Lakeside Church service i’m about to walk to.

How do i say something valuable and forward-thinking to Pastor Chuck and Pastor Russ?

Will encounter them both within the next 90 minutes.

RIP Walt

In a dream, a chip off the old block. Keep dreaming Junior. PS. Never sell yourself short.

RIP Walt.

December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966.

Sixty-five years old.

He died too young, many say.

What can we learn from the feelings we have today, on the anniversary of Walt’s death?

Take risks
.think .differently
Envision a future that’s not only better than now, but much better than now
Have fun

Live like you mean it!

Happy 60th birthday jeff noel

Disney Institute Speaker jeff noel — Biking to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge this morning. (and hey, the upload issue wasn’t an issue)

How many reputations do you have?

Trick question.

If you live six decades, you’ve come in contact with many people.

How many reputations do you have?

Have you figured it out yet?

It’s easy to make decisions

It’s easy to make decisions when you know what your values are. – Roy Disney

You don’t need more time, you just need to decide.

Easy to say.

Hard to embrace.

Why?

Deciding is difficult because decisions come with responsibility. It’s better and easier to not decide, our lizard brain says.

Responsibility can make us look like a hero if we handle it well (like physical health).

Responsibility can make us look like a hypocrite if we handle it poorly (again, like physical health).

So, oftentimes, it’s easier and better to not decide.

How to not decide?

Ask for more time.

If you have more time, you can move away from the decision.

Maybe someone else will make it for you.

Maybe it won’t need to be made at all.

Yeah, like what are the odds of our health becoming nothing to defend.

Had to think for a moment, and it bothered me

WPS basketball playoffs — We “force” him to go to after school activities simply to be exposed to social situations.

Had to think for a moment, and it bothered me that i couldn’t instantaneously remember the fourth one.

Honesty
Behave admirably
Personally responsibility
Self-control

He learned the first one as a young boy, the other three were added over the years. Behaving admirably was added in elementary school. Three and four added during adolescence.

A teen’s attitude is shaped by many things. One of the most obvious, and most taken for granted, is the home.

PS. “Initiative” was added after entering ninth grade. On deck for this Summer is “fun”.

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.
