Somehow I can’t believe that there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four Cs. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably. -Walt Disney

Love that this Walt Disney quote was the final Disney email signature used leading up to retirement.

Someone you see as the very best at the work you do.

Worried. Intimidated. Stressed. Under perform as a result?

And afterwards be incredibly thankful for the opportunity to work side by side with them because you got to experience something incredible?

And then sometime much later you get a second chance to do it again?

And realize much to your surprise, you are so capable that you actually surprised yourself with how amazingly solid you were the second time around?

Are we who we say we are, and who do we say we are?

We have maybe a dozen important roles, many of them dictated by our life – spouse, partner, child, relative, neighbor, volunteer, and so on. Now think about what we do that pays our bills…

What would we say we do? And what would we say we plan to do when we stop (retire) doing that?

For example, I am a writer.

Live like you mean it!
