Trust no one at work

1960’s school photos — Four years apart.

Trust no one at work. Humans are genetically consumed with self-preservation.

Survival, since the dawn of humans, has insisted on figuring out your next meal, your future mate, and avoiding death.

We are hard-wired to put ourselves first.

The next promotion, the raise, the career opportunity for exposure, etc. Rare is the person who will sacrifice themselves so others can eat.

What do you want?

Two steaks on a grill — Never had filet mignon until my 30’s and it was at a Disney recognition banquet, so it was free.

Glass of red wine on the counter — Red meat. Red wine. Learned that from Disney too. Last night enjoyed a neighbor’s wine gift and my grilling experience. Superb.

What do you want?

What?

What do you want from your life, specifically, your career.

How your career goes is how your life goes.

A title, authority, power, money — without peace and contentment, what is their value?

How does one design a life bathed in peace and contentment? (Note, if you can’t immediately answer this because you’ve not mastered it, you are in terminal trouble.)

Context: Peace with who you are, and content with what you have.

One way ticket

Mountains — Continental Divide is unassuming. The foreground stalks are expired Beargrass.

Covid in 2020 added a new dimension to visiting Glacier.

The dimension has morphed into a yearly habit.

Since Summer 2020, i only book a one-way ticket.

This is the fourth Summer doing this.

2023 will be fifth consecutive Summer staying 50 or more days.

One Summer, i made five trips. Other Summers generally two or three trips. The Covid Summer was one 50-consecutive days trip; it was intended to be a simple (and quick) two-week solo trip.

Nuance, not nonsense

Mountain lake — Same lower lake, zooming in.

Nuance reveals itself in the present moment’s stillness.

Our lifetime is the blink of an eye in the Universe’s existence.

Perhaps a few years of indulging yourself is also a blink of an eye in your lifetime. Maybe you’ll get to blink more than once before you die.

How do you top a great year?

Social media screenshot about a Disney Institute speaker — Perhaps late 2014, shortly after Disney retirement.

Age old question, “How much is enough?”
dad

How do you top a great year?

Better yet, should it ever be a consideration let alone a compelling goal?

Am i talking about my speaking and advising business or going to Glacier for 2-3 months every Summer?

How much is enough and when do you commit to it?
