Is this my last Christmas?

Great moments are born from great opportunity.

 

Is this my last Christmas?

Who knows.

Do you know yours?

Christmas means nothing without Easter.

God-willing, i will see one more Easter.

17 years of weekends and counting

This bead jar has been in front of me every day since August 2000. A remarkable payoff for a $10 investment and one hour of my time to drive to the craft store for a jar and a bag of beads.

 

Be careful that you are doing the wrong things well and with great velocity.

You may spend your entire life never knowing.

How wasteful would that be?

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.

The goal is always one-take

One-take 40-second You Tube video from Disney Institute.

 

The goal is always one-take, at least in shooting a video clip for a website.

But what about life?

How many takes (chances or opportunities) do we get?

Personal leadership has four world class, basic components. In addition to having fun at yesterday’s brutally hot track meet, i spent time at the beginning and end of the day preparing for Thursday’s (second) post-Disney speaking engagement.

The four world-class leadership basics are:

  1. Vision
  2. Involvement
  3. Accountability
  4. Commitment

Paint a clear, concise and compelling vision of the future. Get people involved by training and developing them. Hold them accountable for excellent results. And commit to being inspired and inspiring all day, everyday.
