A pencil or a broom?

A rare glimpse at my slides.

 

A pencil or a broom?

Pick one.

Metaphorically the pencil represents a job requiring mental stamina.

The broom represents physical stamina.

Purpose vs Task.

 

Decide what you want to be professionally.

  1. Play it safe and follow societal norms and have a boss?
  2. Take calculated risks, develop yourself, and work to become a category of one?

Dear Son, thank you for last night’s extended conversation

Disney Keynote Speakers
So yeah, in this photo, i’m thinking this may be my last view of Logan Pass. And i’m aware there could be many more, but i am living as if 2018 is my last Summer there.

 

Things in your life will either be better than you expect or less than you expect.

We do not have a crystal ball to tell us exactly how the future will unfold.

This is called a blinding flash of the obvious.

But this little gem, below, isn’t obvious (even though it is)…

When “bad things” happen, rejoice that good things also happen – and in ways that are much better than we could have imagined.

Focus on this yin and yang.

Both extremes teach us.

Be a great and grateful student.

Why?

Because if you aren’t, think deeply about what you get as the opposite.

Turn the great money down, it’s not worth it

Yesterday, waiting for a haircut. Vince Lombardi’s photo made me think.

Paraphrased: “Gentlemen, we will chase perfection and in doing so we’ll catch excellence.”

 

In my business, i steer clear of desperate organizations, even when they are willing to pay a premium.

Why?

Because it’s just not worth it.

And by the way, it’s very tempting – for about five seconds.

Weirdly, the same feeling is seeping into my personal life.

Friends, Family – some of them are digging themselves into a hole so deep, i don’t have a clue how to help them.

My focus is listed on my business cards…

“Speeches and Advising for organizations that want to change the world.”

Most people don’t make the evening news, even though many of their choices are contrary to what comes out of their mouth.

Pick one way to live:

  1. Choose to go, do, and be.
  2. Choose to wait, wish, and hope.
