Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
While celebrating our birthdays is socially acceptable and expected, finding our life’s purpose is not.
One of society’s dirty little secrets, and a great source of codependence.
The norm is to get a job to pay the bills.
Because it is such an overwhelmingly common, well-worn path, we will die not ever really have lived.
Break the mold.
Follow your own path.
Do good and decent work.
Be inspired and inspiring.
Happy birthday Chapin.

Yesterday….(Not the Beatles).
Happy Birthday (yesterday) to Disneyland!
Walt Disney said:
“I knew if this business was ever to get anywhere, if this business was ever to grow, it could never do it by having to answer to someone unsympathetic to it’s possibilities, by having to answer to someone with only one thought or interest, namely profits. For my idea of how to make profits has differed greatly from those who generally control businesses such as ours. I have a blind faith in the policy that quality, tempered with good judgement and showmanship, will win out against all odds”.
If Walt Disney could have envisioned how successful his business philosophy would ultimately become and how far it would take The Walt Disney Company, maybe he would have found a way to quit smoking.
Crazy, yes. Impossible, no.
Walt Disney never used the word, “Impossible”!
Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
Happy birthday to me.
“How old are you”?, people ask. “How old do you think I am”?, I ask back.
The answer is I can’t tell you. You won’t believe me.
Huh?
Exactly.
Many people thought Walt Disney was crazy. I’m just a chip off the old block.
People thought he was crazy because he dreamt dreams that seemed impossible. He questioned things, and many were uncomfortable with that.
He was rarely satisfied. He was always pushing himself and others to think of the next great thing – something that hadn’t been thought of before.
As I reach this milestone today, I consciously give myself more permission to be a crazy man, in the same spirit as Walt Disney.
Anyway, just wanted to wish all you readers a very Happy Birthday, whenever your special day arrives.
Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams. And if your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.
Carpe diem, jeff 🙂
