The Transition (December 2014).

It begins today, December 1st.

But it’s been going on for some time.

In fact, for almost six years.

What’s crazier still is that this post isn’t being written in December, it’s being written in August.

This really is the countdown to September 27, 2014.

It marks the official 30 years of service anniversary.

There’s a trophy and a banquet.

That would be really nice.

Since the first week of June the option to retire at any given moment has been available.

The thought of leaving feels like death.

The thought of the new work to be done feels like God’s calling.

Write about the stuff that dominates your life…

We were talking about Disney and why there’s so much of it on these blogs.

And like this other post today, it’s relatively obvious.

Disney occupies 60 hours of every week.

In some ways work is the center of our lives. If you subtract sleep, work is the lion’s share of where we spend our time.

And when we’re on vacation guess what happens, these posts revolve around vacation.

There is joy is finally accepting that you are an expert at the things you’ve spent your life doing

 

Flying in first class to Orlando yesterday, she said she’s a certified life coach and shared the highly esteemed credentials she recently received. She’s also a small business entrepreneur at age 31. Her next three days will be spent speaking at Orange County Convention Center.

It all sounded so impressive.

And then the aha moment…

The person she was talking to has been receiving his credentials from one of the World’s most admired companies for 30 years, almost as long as she’s been alive – yet he has no ‘official certification’.

The message for all of us?

Take stock in our experience – it rivals (and can easily trump) a diploma with few exceptions.
