It’s not what you do, it’s how you do it

It’s not what you do, it’s how you do it.

And how you do it is driven by why?

Do you know your why?

Why you do something is the only way to become an artist.

Can you pin point the moment everything changed for you?

Starting with why came into my life 1999, at age 40.

In 1999 i suddenly found myself in a new career (but still with the same company, Disney) as a professional speaker at Disney Institute.

It was never a dream to become a speaker.

In fact, i was deathly afraid of not being able to measure up.

Ultimately, 15 years later, annual statistics revealed what i never knew – Guest Satisfaction Measurement (GSM) scores showed all Facilitator rankings in 10 categories.

In any measurement survey, someone or something will score the highest overall.

Why are you doing it?

Why are you doing it?

Why are you so determined to remain positive all day, everyday?

Life changes when we have a ready answer.

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.

An attitude of why is essential

Earlier this week, at the midway point of a long run from home.

 

Forget about what and how.

An attitude of “why” is essential.

My career as a Disney Institute professional speaker taught me the most important difference between presenting information and facilitating learning.

If i tell you, you will never remember. If i help you discover it for yourself, you will never forget.

People get so focused on what Disney does and how they do it. This approach is destined for failure. Why? Because you are not Disney.

But once you understand why Disney does things the way they do, you will find your own way to do the what and the how – because your “why” is the same as Disney’s.

The anniversary of the most magnificent day in our life

 

How did we spend yesterday?

How often do we take inventory of the day before?

Yesterday, the 55th anniversary of that first breath… spent the day doing the normal things.

Simple things.

Routine things.

Joy-filled things.

Life-giving things.

Since (becoming a dad in) 2000 (age 41), just cannot fathom the idea of having to wait for a holiday, anniversary, milestone, etc to celebrate a single day.

Among other things, finished watching the two-hour Apple 2014 WWDC video.

The first three minutes are not available yet on You Tube, hence the 2013 version above.

Live like you mean it.

Today.

Or we could wait until tomorrow.

Your move.

Something few people know about the book

Mid Life Celebration and the Catholic Missal
Before we die, please consider reading the Bible and Mid Life Celebration

 

Something few people know about the book.

It was written for a young child in case something bad ever happened and the child had no father to turn to for advice.

This begs a question, what would we really wish for a child to know if they would potentially grow up without us?
