His enthusiasm was contagious

enthusiasm is slightly more contagious than the lack of enthusiasm

 

His enthusiasm was contagious as he spoke to the group on a tour at Disney’s Magic Kingdom Theme Park yesterday morning. He knew it to be true by the looks on the audiences’ faces. And by one brave individual’s private question.

The question was a test of his authenticity. The speaker passed with flying colors.

Insight: You can’t fake joy.

Sometimes, do you want to fall to your knees with deep and grateful humility?

Sometimes, do we want to fall to our knees with deep and grateful humility?

So challenging to get done all we need to get done.

We push through the pain anyway.

We are driven.

Time is the challenge, not desire.

I’m pushing 9:00pm and still have another blog to write.

Like now, realizing how easy some people must make it look to write and post five daily blogs.

It’s anything but.

On my virtual knees… praying for strength to finish.

Today’s fourth post is from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International airport. Again, who cares? That’s one of the great things about being true to yourself, because you no longer have any unrealistic investment in your actions.

You do what you do because it brings you joy. And because you’ve learned pretending to be someone or something your not, isn’t joyful energy.

The quality of our continuous improvement daily choices has a disproportional impact on our long term success.

Great choices eventually multiply exponentially, and expand over time.

Which comes first, the job, or the job we love?

Which comes first, the job, or the job we love? In my line of work, I seem to see a lot more than most. It’s scary how many unhappy workers there are.

Do we love our job? Have we ever had a job we loved? Are we still looking for work that we would love to do?

Be careful how much we love our job:

  1. We either own our business, or it owns us.
  2. Our boss owns us if we are unwilling to walk away

Yeah, it’s a conundrum. Our job as a great leader is to be remarkable, starting with owning our situation.
