Virgin Voyages day 1, work

Cruise ship app message
Dominican Daze. Who had final say on the cruise name? What life event gets final say on our mobility?

My father-in-law slipped coming downstairs in his home. He never recovered.

Think of others

Cruise ship email confirmation
Family support it going alone. Doing so is not without some family sacrifice. Not family nirvana. But it sure helps a midwesterner, who i call a good friend.

Consider how your decisions impact others. Make sure the upside is always greater than the downside.

New speech

Disney Pixar toy figurines on the wall
Shared a vision for this with Cheryl; to place the figurines next to the photo to illustrate how small the heart-shape is. She hung the figurine platform without telling me. i noticed it before dawn.

In the wilderness, good karma is a blessing.

New speech idea uses “have fun, .think .differently, and lean into discomfort”.

Maybe call it Vibrancy, or perhaps CEO of You, Inc.

Have fun centers on going the extra inch…have fun with others to surprise and delight them. It’s addicting.

.think .differently has DNA in Mid Life Crisis and going the extra mile.

Lean into discomfort is about envisioning a future not only better than now, but much better than now: bike across country with $75, don’t dismiss random opportunities (DI call), write a book, start a business, get and stay healthy, etc. And how about packing up in Washington State and living 5 minutes from WDW?

Earth can take care of itself

Ocean sunrise
The Universe has an energy that sorts itself out without any human influence.

Earth can take care of itself. Earth doesn’t need humans.

If i wasn’t doing this

The show Yellowstone screen shot
Find a million ways to stay motivated. This ain’t a theory for me. Yellowstone randomly crossed my path. The show is inspiring like the show’s life depends on it. Thank you.

If i wasn’t doing this, i’d be doing this.

Daily, prolific blogging began well before retiring from Disney. The two-hour morning commitment was a daily strain on balancing a busy Disney Institute travel career.

Blogged prolifically for six years before retiring in 2014. What kept it going when it wasn’t necessary (and was an unnecessary work strain)?

Had a vision that after a Disney career, it would be a fun, insightful, inspiring way to start every day in retirement. Meaning, i was writing like i got to do it rather than it being an obligation.

Bottomline, the beauty of the daily two-hour writing commitment was a revelation and blessing long before this song.

Ps. Luke did it/does it for the crowd. i do too…a crowd of one, two, three people…me and my family, but driven by how daily writing helps me be better than if i never started (or if i ever stop).
