(Photo: Vacation is designed to take our minds completely away from work… and to return recharged)
That feeling of being overwhelmed at work.
When does it ever get conquered?
And who’s leading the charge?

There is an exception to nearly every rule, including this one
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. – unknown
While we show up for work for 40-50 years, we are also bringing our whole person with us.
Who leads us if we have a boss?
Many of us unconditionally believe that there is a God and a higher power or spirit.
Some of us even go as far as to say Jesus is the Son of God.
It is this notion that there is a Father, a Son, and a Holy Spirit that nothing can change for devout Christians.
While the only constant is change, for them the only exception is Jesus.

When we wait for somebody else to change nothing changes.
Nothing will change until:
- leadership approves
- HR approves
- finance approves
Sound familiar?
When we wait for somebody else to change nothing changes.
Find an ethical way to do remarkable, amazing things at work that require zero approval, even if they are so small no one on your team notices.
Why?
Because your customers will notice, and they deserve remarkable and shouldn’t have to wait for it.
The exception is when you are a start-up and you are building and haven’t yet officially opened your doors.
And if you are the owner of the startup, as you build, be focused on blowing the roof off traditional expectations.

Guess who became the 13th follower?
One of the most important parts of our career is keeping up with change.
Duh, right?
But do we?
In an excellent manner?
And one of the most important parts of change is prioritizing where we should change and how we go about it.
Because of the high degree of difficulty and the high risk of being wrong, we flounder long enough so that it becomes something we no longer feel is worth fixing.

Spring Fever? Top of the World?
For several decades Disney’s California Grill was called ‘Top of the World‘.
Today’s blog photo’s were taken on a rare, overcast day just down the street from our home, from the top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
And today is the first day of Spring 2014 (as this post is written).
Today is also the first day of a month long vacation (as this goes live June 28).
Writing 100 days ahead offers the security of never revealing when work is done from home or when it’s from out of town.
Think about how quietly important that is and why.
Makes the advance writing seem much more reasonable.
