The paradox of strength is weakness.
As a leader there is strength in the weakness of humility.

Has the reality of your daily life sunk in?
(photo: Bottom left, sitting on Main Street enjoying a Starbucks breakfast sandwich at 9:30am the day after Thanksgiving.)
Bold question.
Kind too.
Has the reality of your daily life sunk in?
Filled with hope?
Prepared to work incredibly hard?
Yesterday was a bit closer to feeling it here. See photo above.
Today is the last day of the first month of retirement.
The only way to get to this point was to dream, do, dream, do, dream, do…
And along the way, constantly overcome failure, doubt, and fear.
The goal to retire at 55 was made six years in advance.
The goal to carve out a career at Disney was made at the tender age of 25.
It was 30 years to pay off a mortgage and reach the pinnacle of an incredible career.
It was a five day drive from Pullman, Washington to Orlando, Florida in 1984.
And before loading up the car for good, a risk had to be taken.

What does it mean to live with intention?
(photo: Completely by accident yesterday, stumbled on the note inside the bag sitting on the rarely used dining room table.)
Have you come a long way from where you were just five or so years ago?
Why?
How?
These are great questions to ponder for the next five years, or so.

How’s retired life?
(photo: Box of new Mid Life Celebration equipment.)
Two more days left in the first month of retirement. How does it feel?
Busy as ever.
But haven’t hopped on a plane in four weeks.
Have had four consecutive weekends off.
And had yesterday (Thanksgiving) off too.
The work is intense, just different.
Good stuff.

Teaching people to love themselves.
Teaching leaders to love their employees.
Teaching employees to love their customers.
Teaching customers to love the world.
Teaching the world to never get bored with the basics.
