I always wondered why somebody doesn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody. – Lily Tomlin

This is a most unlikely story.

Never found a role model for balance in my 30 years at Disney, so i committed to becoming the role model.

And failed.

Repeatedly.

Balance felt so elusive while at Disney that i began to wonder if it was even a real thing.

It truly felt unattainable.

Then, in a moment of stunning simplicity, i asked the most basic question: “Jeff​, are you satisfied?”

You can easily guess the answer.

It took 30 years to write the first sentence.

Two years to write.

And two more years still, to get the guts to publish.

It takes about 60-75 minutes to read.

What’s scary are the profoundly simple insights. They stimulate and then inspire rethinking, reprioritizing and recommitting.

With the investment of a few clicks and $4.99, you can instantly have a copy.

Five bucks.

Is this too big a risk?

If you can’t afford it, send me your email and i’ll buy it for you.

How losing focus breeds personal contempt

Hidden in Steve’s 45-second video message is this insight: People no smarter than us have shaped life as we know it. Nothing excludes us from doing this except one thing – belief.

Here’s to the crazy ones.

 

 

Actions speak louder than words. And no one ever builds a reputation on what they’re going to do.

When we’re stuck, we slow down. Our focus gets blurry. And without focus we slowly become unmotivated.

This breeds a personal contempt that helps the cycle feed on itself. The key to starving this beast is to find or claim your purpose in life.

Without purpose, hope fades.

With purpose, hope feeds desire and desire feeds forward progress.

Moving forward feeds on itself and life is good again.

Disney Legends and Starbucks meetups

Three former Disney Cast Members meeting near Disney
Not enough seating at Axom Coffee so we went next door (here). We know how the Magic works.

 

What do we believe as truth that couldn’t be farther from it?

For many of us who grew up in small towns, the big time city news from places like New York, Chicago, and Hollywood was fascinating. The glitz, the glamour.

Meeting in an hour with the best mentor anyone could have access to, Lee Cockerell.

In real life, it’s actually quite different than the media plays it up to be.

It’s cool to know this rare insight firsthand.

Do world class organizations make big mistakes?

We should always remember to take solace in making mistakes, even big ones.

Disney characters were not part of the original vision for Epcot Center in 1982, when Walt Disney World’s second theme park opened to the public. The only place you could find Mickey Mouse was on the drain covers, in the photo above.

How did Disney miss the obvious?

How do we?

Forgive yourself, fix it, move forward.

Which is more painful everyday?

Which is more painful everyday?

To live in the shadows of conformity or to relentlessly polish our imperfections while others make fun of us.
