One of society’s dirty little secrets, and a great source of codependence

American Flag blowing in the wind with dark skies behind it

 

While celebrating our birthdays is socially acceptable and expected, finding our life’s purpose is not.

One of society’s dirty little secrets, and a great source of codependence.

The norm is to get a job to pay the bills.

Because it is such an overwhelmingly common, well-worn path, we will die not ever really have lived.

Break the mold.

Follow your own path.

Do good and decent work.

Be inspired and inspiring.

Happy birthday Chapin.

Dear Son, every job you ever do will have two components

Disney's Grand Californian Resort Guest laundry
One of the simplest decisions all week.

 

Disney's Grand Californian Resort Guest laundry
Do the mundane with joy and gratitude

 

Be positive and find joy and gratitude in the ‘have-to-do’ parts of your job.

Why?

Because all ‘get-to-do’ parts come with a price.

Be willing to pay it or do something else.

And know the grass ain’t always greener on the other side.

This isn’t rocket surgery.

Dear Son, who decides who the luckiest person alive is?

What if someone was a teacher and their classroom was Walt Disney World Resort?

 

Who decides who the luckiest person alive is?

Using what criteria?

Can we make it up ourselves?

Don’t judge yourself against others.

Neither of you is traveling the same path.

Learn to be blissful on your path or find a different path.

And a different path may be the same path, but with someone, or going in the opposite direction.

Yeah, life is full of distractions and illusions.

You’re in charge of figuring this stuff out and thriving in spite of it all.

Who was the smartest of the Disney brothers?

Many dream of making a living as a writer – seriously hard work, serious competition

 

Walt Disney sometimes said his brother, the Postman, was the smartest Disney because he didn’t have to worry about all the things a business owner needs to worry about (hiring, firing, payroll, deals, etc).

A simple life?

Does it pay the bills?

Do we keep our bills in check?

Do we know how (our) children spell Love?

T-i-m-e.
