Now you’re on to something

Who’s taking care of your fears?

 

There’s only one comfort zone that seems useful.

Getting comfortable with fear.

Dancing with fear.

Falling in love with fear.

Because once the relationship is rock solid, we understand there is nothing to fear.

Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Then soar.

And thrive.

jeff noel Disney book on The Disney Way
The next book will have “Disney” in it’s title. No, i’m not smoking anything.

 

The next book project begins today.

Had been waiting for a milestone date to begin writing the next book, featuring what i learned (and taught) from a lifetime at Disney.

Only recently did i target our son’s birthday, August 12.

However, after what was revealed yesterday, August 3, i am beginning today.

Overwhelmed by email?

jeff noel quote
Used Buffer’s Pablo app to create this last night.

 

Overwhelmed by email?

The harsh reality?

It’s our responsibility to figure it out.

Period.

This constant overwhelm will not fix itself.

Left unchecked, it poisons our soul so slowly we never notice.

It’s been a month now that i drew a line in the sand and asked:

Can i go to bed each night with no emails in my in-box, trash, and sent folders?

Like nearly everything, the answer is yes if we chose to make it so.

On the cover of The Rolling Stone…

Mid Life Celebration book and author
One final photo yesterday morning before coming down the mountain until next year.

 

Took ten copies to share, although most have already read it.

It was surprisingly comforting to remind myself that the 1979 (when we were college juniors) promise to write a book has been fulfilled.

Some played cards after dinner.

 

Plagued by our own potential.

If we could slay our fear and doubt, we’d literally astonish ourselves.

This applies to work, of course.

And it also applies to something we no longer think about…our health.

For the past 48 hours, being with my ‘”brothers”, i can’t help but feel compelled to think about how we will age, if given the privilege, for the next 10, 20, or 30+ years.
