Dear Son,

Shit you didn’t know…

How could you?

You were just a kid.

What you didn’t know is…

How being your dad inspired and guided everything i did (and why i did it) at Disney Institute.

Sell me on how, mind

Dreams require risks. Risks require failure. Failure enables growth. Growth enables dreams.

Disney Keynote Speaker jeff noel — At least a million…enough to last a lifetime of distractions, naysayers, temptation, pain, hurt, regret, failure, etc.

Our Current System Fails Society — Our historical, and current, work/life balance belief system fails society. The system pictured here is the new, replacement architectural blueprint for personal vibrancy (aka ‘balance’).

Sell me on how you think i can help you.

Especially after a decade of already trying to help you.

Am i the failure or is it you?

Or is this a collaborative failure?

Bold questions, eh?

That’s what attracted you to me from the beginning.

Remember when i asked, “Are you drunk?

Thought you’d be so much further ahead than you are now.

A decade!

Why isn’t your culture the envy of not only your industry, but of any business anywhere?

Splain that to me. Please.

Note to self: Happy present moment.

Get busy living, mind

Mid Life Celebration the book — The book that almost didn’t happen and didn’t have to happen.

the last lecture — Wanted to leave a trail for our young son in case something bad ever happened to me.

Dylan (Bob) said, “He who is not busy being born, is busy dying.”

Spring Break is a time for celebration and relaxation.

i think it’s also a time for bathing suits.

And if that’s too constricting, skinning dipping.

.think .differently

Have fun.

Lean into discomfort.

Showtime, mind

Showtime.

Huh?

Showtime. It’s showtime.

Been saying it since 1999 shortly after starting a quarter-century professional speaking career at Disney Institute.

And as i say it again today in this post, it means the same thing; however, 27 years later, the context is different.

The context now is this…

It’s time for the retirement show. The final season of life.

Birth, infancy, childhood, puberty, teen, young adult, middle age, retirement, old age, death.

Be a noticer, mind

Be a noticer.

Notice yourself.

Notice others.

Notice thoughts.

Notice choices.

Notice habits.

Notice differences.

Notice similarities.

Notice opportunities.

Notice danger.

Notice fools.

Notice wisdom.

Notice rewards.

Notice vibrancy.
