We don’t teach people to insist

pink post it note with 3 handwritten notes
Memory is telling me this post-it note’s three ideas stem from a client interaction.

We don’t teach people to insist on getting and staying healthy for their entire life.

Why?

My theory, from a lifetime of experience, is that we don’t teach it because we don’t know how to do it either.

Show, don’t tell

Four hikers at a foggy trailhead
To have the privilege and the opportunity to lead our son and his two best friends he met in ninth grade on a 13-mile hike… What is that worth? Note: In this photo they are all college graduates. Nine years after meeting they continue to meet frequently, including our annual GNP trip.
Two hikers in the mountains
In 50 years of visits, getting to share the most amazing animal encounter that i’ve ever had, with my wife, on a trail deep in the middle of the wild. Note: The Grizzly is between our heads.

Show, don’t tell.

We judge ourselves on our intentions, others judge us on our behaviors.

Nature as teacher

Lilly bloom not fully open
This Lilly is showing me a wise, irrefutable lesson.

The Lilly pictured above is teaching me:

  • patience
  • perseverance
  • determination
  • mission
  • adaptability
  • symbiosis
  • consistency
  • beauty
  • art

How is it teaching those things?

Plants have been around for 3.5 billion years. Starting with stromatolites. Everything since then has been an evolution.

Irrefutable patience, change, and adaptability.

Magic is compound interest

Mickey Mouse head hand rails
Disney’s attention to detail didn’t (and doesn’t) happen overnight. Eventually though, it’s pervasive.

Magic is compound interest.

Magic is compound interest… when in your life did you ever flip a switch and experience remarkable change?

Never.

Teaching is a great way to learn

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
Teaching is a great way to learn.

 

To teach is to learn twice.

Learn.

Do.

Teach.
