Which is more painful everyday?

To live in the shadows of conformity or to relentlessly polish our imperfections while others make fun of us.

We default to someone else taking initiative

Road hazard from construction site
The wind blew it off it’s foundation into the busy road. Our car in the background.

 

Why do we default to someone else taking the initiative?

Because:

  • We’re in a hurry.
  • It’s only a little thing, it doesn’t really matter.
  • These things fix themselves.
  • It’s not my problem.
  • Everyone will see it and go around.

But what if someone doesn’t see it in time?

What if something tragic happens?

Could you live with the knowledge that it would have been an easy fix but you didn’t take the time?

What message are you sending to the 14-year old sitting in the passenger seat when you ignore it?

What message do you send when you take action?

Constant, daily choices.

Legacy.

Disney Legend Marty Sklar and jeff noel many years ago.

 

Can we turn a work assignment into a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Maybe a decade ago was asked to be Marty’s “handler” for two days while he was at Walt Disney World to deliver a keynote speech.

It was a transformational experience because of the unanticipated quality time together.

In 30+ years at Disney, never asked for a single autograph. The photo above is no exception.

“How bad do you want it” is not a rhetorical question.

Do not shrink your dreams to allow others to remain in their comfort zone.

And do not procrastinate because you’re hoping others will eventually agree or approve.
