72-hour challenge

post it note handwritten notes — For posterity. Page 1 of 5.

Trust the process.
Leadership jargon

It’s been over four months since the first surgery. Over three months since the second.

In three days, i see Dr Kumar for another in a long list of follow-up exams.

Three days.

That’s 72 hours.

i end every Disney Keynote speech with a 72-hour challenge.

Most audience members (business leaders) are too busy and too overwhelmed to commit to a 72-hour challenge.

Why?

Unfocused.

i am directly focused on patiently, optimistically, humbly waiting for another encouraging update from Dr Kumar.

Hold ‘em

Traveling in a car, looking out the windshield from the backseat — Two hours of darkness.

Hold yourself accountable first (and forever) before you start projecting judgement on others.
dad

Have worked hard over the decades to stop judging other drivers’ behavior. It’s paid off. Now, i pray a lot. Figuring every driver is going through a hell no one knows about.

Extend Grace, not the middle finger.

Reps are not original

Google map — Travel time is a vision of the path in the moment you ask. The moment you ask has no knowledge of what’s gonna unfold as our big rock spins.

Reps are not original, they are hard. Reps are hard until they aren’t.
dad

Reps, in whatever domain, form habits.

New habits require serious adjustment.

But once you succeed, through repetition, the adjustment becomes the new normal. No extra effort is required once the new habit is normalized.

i cannot recall a time in my life where this wasn’t true. It’s always true. Bank on it.

Ps. And to hell with your excuses.

Pss. Remember, this is me talking to me.

But we are not

Pickup truck being loaded with college stuffs — Cheryl organizes and packs. I drive.Photo: Close to 4:00 PM. Sun sets in 45 minutes.

Google Maps screenshot — To Santee, SC. Our overnight stop. We are not driving straight through. We will be driving roughly 10 hours due to breaks, traffic, etc.

i love traveling. i hate being gone.
dad

Teaching at Disney Institute was always a “get to do”.

Traveling was always a “have to do”.

Traveling meant i was gone from my Family.

Today we hit the road as a Family.

Yee-haw!!

Son, walking will never let you down. It is inherently our duty to walk.
dad

One week away from a 130-day post-retina-tear exam.

Maybe 10 days ago Dr Kumar gave me the first encouraging feedback in 110 days.

Meanwhile, savoring our Son’s life-milestone, leaving college for the last time.

Still ahead is a new adventure.

Graduation is six months away.
