So I’ve stopped talking about what I’m going to do

will tell ya when I'm going to celebrate, but not until somethings been accomplished

Man, we spend our entire lives talking about what we’re going to do. And how much of it actually happens? So I’m no longer content with talking about what I’m gonna do. Instead, if someone asks, then I’ll share what’s been done.

Does this thought process ever cross your mind?

I realized my talk is cheap (and so is yours)

career rewards
what’s the reward at the end of the rainbow?

I realized my talk is cheap (and so is yours). But here’s the paradox. We talk as if what we’re gonna do instantly makes us a better person, a more productive, effective, reliable, honest, trustworthy person. It doesn’t.

How certain can anyone be?

10-year plan
what if we aged with a 10-year plan?

How certain can anyone be? Fair, midland, completely? Life is full of uncertainty. Chock full. So what’s the right formula? Truth be told, there is no certainty, except that one day, we will die. I made a 10-year plan just before turning 50:

  • 5 more years at Disney
  • 5 years to raise money for a Crohn’s disease cure

Insight: We live life by design or by default. A 10-year plan? What if we did?
