Exiting can be art

Exiting can be art.

Never thought of that sentence until just now, two days after i cancelled my QuickBooks subscription.

The courage it takes to burn the ships is the artful part.

Courage is rare, hence valuable.

This new phase of life, for me, is only about doing things that are extraordinarily valuable.

Why?

Because the clock is ticking.

Always has been. Always will be.

Note: This simple wisdom inspires the heck out of me.

Had an early dinner at Japan. While exiting Epcot, we turned around to watch the light show on Spaceship Earth. It was a special moment.

Retirement perks are worthless unless you use them.

We planned on using them long before we earned them.

A lifetime Disney Pass.

Sometimes i visit several days a week.

Sometimes i walk.

Sometimes i bicycle.

The need to grow, work

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel in the magic Kingdom tunnel
My final day as an active Walt Disney World Cast Member, October 31, 2014. The absence of a smile is because i was not expecting to retire after 32 years.

The 10th anniversary of my Disney retirement is October 31, 2024.

The original plan was to retire in 2024 after 40 years of Disney service.

But the compelling, transformational growth opportunity in 2014, after 30 years of Disney service, proves to have played out better than hoped.

Growth opportunities only guarantee the opportunity. They do not guarantee the results. That is on me.

Accepting this 100% is growth. For me. For anyone.
