Real life in real time yesterday

34th annual Fraternity reunion
Maggie was the center of attention, She found my “Jack the Bear”.

L-R: Chuck (alseep?) Jack the Bear, and Cort (not a morning person).

Maybe Cort (right) just needs a little nudge to enjoy the morning.

 

Slept in until 6am yesterday. Why mention it? Because being intentional about our health means we over manage certain things we used to under manage or ignore.

Sleep is one of them.

While sleeping in didn’t get me to eight hours, it did provide one more hour than waking up at 5am, which would have been better for getting my writing done.

Live like you mean it means what?

What does living like you mean it mean? It means we think of each day as our very first day and our very last day.

The joy and wonder of new and precious.

The peace and contentment from living with purpose, intentionally and gratefulness.

Like yesterday: Morning run to Magic Kingdom Guest Relations to double check theme park pass validation. Run home, shower up, drive to Disney’s Contemporary Resort to meet old friends. Monorail to Magic Kingdom, Steam Train to Frontierland, walk to lunch. Return to Contemporary.

Live like you mean it means what?

It’s up to each of us to decide. It may mean something different every single day.

How cool is that?

To Magic Kingdom and back again

Disney Executive Keynote Speaker
Yesterday, February 16, 2015.

 

Running to Disney’s Magic Kingdom and back again yesterday feels like a guilty pleasure. It’s easy to forget that it took seven years and a miracle to find and purchase an empty lot close by in 1990.

It was insanely gutsy to pack and ship everything we owned (48 boxes but no furniture) and drive from Washington State to Orlando in 1984.  Gutsy because we believed we could carve out a lifetime at Disney.

Crazy to leave Disney in 2014, at only 55, after 30 incredible years as a Disney Leader.

But it was just another invisible monumental milestone in a series of steps on the path to a life without regret.

We all have a private, inspiring backstory.

Tell it to yourself like a broken record.

Your little victories, like a morning jog, become so much sweeter.
