Thin places leadership

two man watching a waterfall — Djuan captured the deeply-experienced one and the other’s first-day in GNP. One slip into this water could be deadly.

Thin-places leadership is when someone is intentionally, habitually present enough to see thin places everywhere.

To be in an ordinary situation, but see and feel the presence of Heaven.

You have to be super dialed in to the present moment, free from common, never-ending distractions.

Every step has the seed of a thin place.

There’s a responsibility while on Earth to be present.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and literally every Ukrainian citizen are being about as present as a human can be.

Why?

Because potential death is at their doorstep. Either for themselves or someone they love. Or both.

Christmas vs Easter

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy — Close the skies and or send weapons.

Christmas vs Easter.

Which is your favorite holiday?

Christmas seems to be more festive, more fun, more celebratory. More decorations, songs, food, trees, presents, Santa, etc.

Christmas brings humanity a Messiah (in Christian doctrine).

Christmas is such a beautiful and humble love story.

Yet.

Yet Christmas means nothing without Easter.

Nothing.

Easter is hands down the most important day in my life.

Jesus-level Love.

Jesus-level redemption.

Jesus-level forgiveness.

Not enough

Disney University building — Ran here yesterday to shoot a couple client videos. No content, just social “guess where i just ran to” videos.

Not enough courage in your world?

Fix it.

How?

Find a million ways to figure it out.

The test? Is there a test?

Yes.

It’s called regret.

The test almost always comes without notice.

Most fail.

Don’t be a success at being world-class regretful.

This is how we do

How does one work from anywhere?

It depends. You don’t leave home without your ID, right?

You don’t leave on a transformational journey without your growth mindset either.

Mindset 2008-2009: The Great Recession…with 2 dozen years of Disney Service, felt weirdly vulnerable during that Disney layoff and made a promise to create a Plan B should it ever happen again.

Lifelong plan to work at WDW until 2024. The Great Recession was a humongous wake up call.

Crafted a 10-year plan: 5 more years at WDW & retire in 2014 at 55, and 2nd 5 years to put a positive dent in our Universe.

Side note: The wake up call surfaced the reality that no male on Dad’s side lived past 60.

2nd side note: Under this post’s surface is a beautiful reality: each of us is CEO of You, Inc. Each of us is responsible for everything in our life. Each of us lives with a ticking clock. Each of us has the same 24 hrs/day. Each of us gets to choose our mindset.

Mindset now (Oct 5, 2020)…

For 7 weeks a small motel room provided daily gratitude for simple blessings in a one-million acre wilderness straddling the Continental Divide – shelter, electricity, running water (including hot), small shower, flushing toilet, heat (no AC), bed, windows, wifi, wonderful staff, and a 400 meter drive to Glacier National Park.

Oh, and a small desk to “work like you mean it”!

Disney Customer Service speaker Jeff Noel — Jungle Jeff and Mickey Mouse are believers.

Jesus was bold.

Jesus was a believer.

Thank God for bold leaders.

Note: Was = is.
