Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Age-old question.
What do you think? What’s your opinion?
“It depends,” is the first thing that comes to mind. Mostly the long hours are worth it. If.
If?
Yes, if.
If it drives your ego, your title, your salary, your corner office, your feeling of self-worth – then no.
If it drives your ability to make a difference: to expand your reach, your relevance, your impact – then yes.
The challenge, when you’re insanely busy, is to not confuse the two.
Any one need a quarter?
“Problems are never solved by the same level of awareness that created them.” — Albert Einstein
Problems are simply nature’s way of getting our attention. Then it’s up to us to do something. We almost never do. – jungle jeff
The world is hurting. It’s the elephant in the room, isn’t it? Everywhere you look, people are scared.
There has never been a more important time, in recent memory, than now to step up and lead.
The inspired inspire.
“All Truth Passes through three stages:
First it is Ridiculed,
Second; it is violently opposed,
Third; it is accepted as being self evident.”
— Mahatma Gandhi
What is self-evident is not yet.
The “early adapters” see it, but no one else.
“You’ve been thinking like an adult since you were a kid”, she said in response to a story I had shared from my youth.
Told her about wanting to be a Physical Education teacher to help make people healthier, and help make the world a better place. I was in 8th Grade.
So here we are 37 years later, back on the mission to help make the world a healthier place.
Got dreams?
Recently read a Facebook update from a friend, and, an aspiring, passionate person who’s launching a new career.
The Facebook update said to this effect, “I didn’t get the job…I learned more in one night than I did in a whole year in school.”
How powerful is that?
When was the last time any of us said something like that?
Do you:
Odds are, we all said, “Yes!”
To all three.
I say, “Doubtful.” It’s number three that gets us in conflict.
What we see in the mirror and what others see in the mirror, almost without exception, are two different things.
