Please think deeply about not exercising

Mark and i worked together at Disney’s Grand Floridian and Spa as well as Disney Institute, probably 20 years total.

Please think deeply about not exercising.

Totally agree with Mark.

Yes and, there are many leaders who do not exercise regularly, do not eat well-balanced nutrition, nor do they insist on adequate sleep.

If they are not trusting themselves to get and stay healthy, why would we trust them with stuff at work?

When experts talk, listen to the entire message. Cues and clues are everywhere.

Son, you have developed a keen sense of awareness in reading people. Trust your gut.

Sometimes your gut will be wrong. This is rare. Play the odds that your gut is your best defense and offense.

PS. Walt was an amazing visionary leader. He also died from lung cancer. Rumor is that the Disney point came from photoshopped photos of Walt’s cigarettes being removed, leaving behind two fingers as if in a point.

PSS. In the 1980’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort lobby Concierge Desk, i made change for a $20 bill for Roy E. Disney. In that brief encounter i saw how Roy’s fingers were permanently stained from smoking. His fingers…that’s a lot of smoking.

There’s a time and a place to give up

quitting — Sad, but true. Do want you want to do with your life. It’s your life. Balance is a moving target.

There’s a time and a place to give up.

You can only learn this by experimenting with your judgment – this is your personal leadership responsibility.

Often, the test results from your experimenting won’t be available for months, years, even decades.

For example, giving up on staying active, eating and resting well, and staying motivated and having fun won’t generally reveal what a mistake that was until decades later.

Culture is the engine

Orlando hosts 2019 NFL Pro Bowl for the third consecutive year. It’s today. We’ll be home before it starts. Photo taken yesterday as we walked “The City Beautiful“.

Culture is the engine.

Habits and rituals are the fuel.

i’ve been an avid photographer since age six.

Since the advent of pocket cameras, i call it “real life in real time”.

Vision and motivation for personal vibrancy

lottery billionaire — Who says no to this?

thank you note — Worth a second look? There was no money exchanged.

Want to be rich?

Take your role of CEO (being the top dawg in your life) seriously – as if your life depends on it, because it does..

You are the CEO of You, Inc. Vision is your greatest asset.

You are the CEO of You, Inc. Motivation is your second greatest asset.

You should have one clear, concise, and compelling vision for your life.

From that one remarkable vision, you will have multiple visions tiering up to ensure your clear, concise, and compelling vision is realized.

Have a clear, concise, and compelling vision for your lifelong attitude.
Have a clear, concise, and compelling vision for your lifelong health.
Have a clear, concise, and compelling vision for your lifelong spirit.
Have a clear, concise, and compelling vision for your lifelong career.
Have a clear, concise, and compelling vision for your lifelong dwelling.

Life’s five big choices.

Mind, body, spirit, work, home.

Personal vibrancy or struggle to survive.

In business it looks like this: Organizational vibrancy and a category of one, or struggling to keep up with the lead industry pack, and worst case, struggling to grow and prosper (surviving and avoiding bankruptcy).

Leadership is about creating opportunity

Glacier Summer cold front — Summer cold front brought a unique opportunity for this week’s visitors.

Leadership is about creating opportunity.

Things in life will either go better than you expect or worse than you expect.

No one has a crystal ball to foresee how life will turn out, so we compensate with imagination, dreams, and hopes.

The good news is things often go better than we expect.

The other good news is that we have a choice – to choose opportunity or to choose defeat.

The unusually early cold front brought snow, rain, clouds and lingering cold temperatures.

i chose to see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Glacier in a special-treat way.
