He’s not going to be the person everyone’s expected him to be anymore.
Heard this sound bite last night.
Freaky.
Kinda spine tingly.
Christmas.
A coming.
And then there’s New Years.
Un-freakin’ real.
Hope you are moving forward every day.
That’s the secret.
The long way is the short cut.
Will it be the best year ever?
Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy isn’t it?
We see what we want to see.

Learning involves a critical assumption that we will be exposed to something we didn’t know before.
This can be scary or exciting.
Time consuming or easy.
The only way to truly understand the difference between WordPress .org and .com is to use them both.
It’s the only way for anything, really.
Mostly it’s time consuming.

Bold question.
Kind too.
Has the reality of your daily life sunk in?
Filled with hope?
Prepared to work incredibly hard?
Yesterday was a bit closer to feeling it here. See photo above.

The only way to get to this point was to dream, do, dream, do, dream, do…
And along the way, constantly overcome failure, doubt, and fear.
The goal to retire at 55 was made six years in advance.
The goal to carve out a career at Disney was made at the tender age of 25.
It was 30 years to pay off a mortgage and reach the pinnacle of an incredible career.
It was a five day drive from Pullman, Washington to Orlando, Florida in 1984.
And before loading up the car for good, a risk had to be taken.

Tonight a friend retires at age 55.
How will the people gathered there to celebrate feel about her age?
Happy and ecstatic for her?
Bitter or jealous it’s not them?
We can wish and we can hope, but nothing makes dreams come true faster than these four things:
How can we know for sure?
Guessing our friend doesn’t know for sure, but she’s willing to move forward anyway, with a disproportionately greater sense of hope than the average.
