The privilege of making mistakes, work

Orlando Disney Speaker
GNP. A brisk morning at Lake McDonald Lodge marina. i have a career habit of lugging small plastic Disney Character figures, everywhere. Some trips have included as many as five dozen.

Is it a human privilege to make mistakes?

i think it is.

The privilege of making mistakes is only for people who act.

Why?

Intentional action leads to outcomes.

Outcomes lead to learning.

Learning leads to growth.

Growth is the essence of life.

But only if you want to suck the marrow out of life.

Your call.

Always is.

Never changes.

Ps. Risk like you mean it.

Pss. .think .differently like you mean it.

  • Our second decade at Walt Disney World (WDW).
  • Our third decade at Walt Disney World (WDW).
  • Our first year of retirement.
  • Our first year of my personal business.

Be intentional, not unintentional

Be intentional, not unintentional.

My work life happens by default or by design.

i either let it happen, or intentionally design it.

What we accept by default becomes our standard.

Or, what we architect by design, becomes our standard.

It’s exponentially more vibrant and rewarding when i’m building my career by design.

New growth 2026

In personal life, have always ‘gone with the flow’.

Hoping that 2026 takes me to pro-level.

Perhaps even ‘hall of fame’ status.

At work, kinda a different story.

No time to unpack that now.

Cashing in on seven miles

Apple Watch at a driveway
Seven miles is a decent recovery walk from yesterday’s highest ‘jogging mileage’ in years.

Cashing in on a seven mile walk.

After yesterday’s exercise, wanted to not go far and also wanted to go far. Weird. The smart thing was a compromise. A bit of both.
