Overcommit

post it note song list
A mixtape of love songs.

Overcommit.

Overcommit to gratitude, compassion, forgiveness, surrender.

Undercommit to impatience, anger, hate, intolerance.

No brainer, eh?

Your peace with who you are is your metric.

Your contentedness with what you have is too.

Super-optimistic, wonderfully hopeful

Some of the subdivisions, like this one which is adjacent to Lakeside Church, have hundreds of homes.

One super-optimistic, wonderfully hopeful Lakeside thing to share.

A Church in the middle of this residential acreage is a blessing. To have a Community HQ here is extraordinary.

Have always dreamt of being able to walk to Church.

Baptized Lutheran, converted to Catholicism in 1999 because Cheryl is more Catholic than i am Lutheran and i don’t think God cares.

Now, in 2022, the echo of, “God doesn’t care about your religion”, opens the door my heart to becoming a permanent, lifetime Lakeside Church member.

The proximity to thousands of neighbors and the land size provide incredible and divine opportunities to serve others and each other.

  1. Forgiveness
  2. Surrender

Chronic spiritual improvement

Disney Keynote Speaker
Chronic improvement stealthily manifests itself in this photo. The younger Jeff would have been in a suit and tie.

Chronic spiritual improvement defines your future.

You shun the urgent to focus on the important, non-urgent.

Chronic emotional improvement also foreshadows your life’s quality in the final decades.

Decades.

One, two, or even three decades of great emotional habits compounding over time.

Your journey’s goal is to walk in peace and contentment. May seem obvious, or maybe not, but your end goal is to die the same way you journeyed – being at peace with who you are and content with what you have.

What habits bring you

Note: A short intermission between Disney Retirement posts. Enjoy the state change…

 • Welcome •

If your goal isn’t impossible, you are not reaching high enough. A second thank you to Ty Boyce.
Jeff noel quote about culture
Every organization has a culture – either by design or by default.

What do habits bring you?

Simple.

Intentional, over-focused habits bring vibrancy.

Unintentional, under-focused habits bring the opposite of vibrancy.

Simple is as simple does.

Habit, and culture, is what you think and do, without thinking.

Organizational habits.

Personal habits.

By design or by default.

Learn to over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.
