Blogging is serving

Blogging is serving.

Perhaps to most people this isn’t obvious, but blogging is first and foremost service to self.

If you cannot master personal vibrancy, you are never going to teach personal vibrancy (from your personal behaviors) to anyone else.

First victory happens inside.

And once you master self, you become a guide for those you love most.

We create happiness

Disney Pixar Encanto
Debuts today on Disney+. You have a family family. You also have a work (Disney) family.

Our (Disney) tradition to work while others play has clear context. When you are hired for a front-line operational role, “We work while others play” means these things and we are crystal clear about it when we hire you:

  • You will work nights, weekends, holidays
  • Your shift may start at 3:00 AM
  • Your shift may end at 3:00 AM
  • Your schedule, by union contract, is based on company seniority

This is why waiting 13 years was reasonable before initially asking for vacation during the last week of the year.

Rather than tell you

Church bulletin cover
Family Church has a great marketing team.

Rather than tell people what problems i solve, i tell them what i love to do (what never feels like work).

Then they decide if my #JoyfuLintensity will inspire them to transform their problems into opportunities.

(ur welcome)

Note: This is a dream-like thought. It is not a real-life behavior. Yet.

Happy Easter 2022

Money, money, money. Money!

The Easter Bunny can’t hold a candle to Santa Claus.

Financially, Christmas is the holy grail for consumerism.

Yet Christmas means nothing without Easter.

Most anxiety stems from neglect

Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
A teacher’s favorite thing is a willing student.

Most anxiety stems from neglect.

Neglecting faith, hope, love.

Neglecting optimism, forgiveness, surrender, gratitude, kindness, generosity.

Neglecting the present moment.

You see the math on this, right?

Neglecting gives birth to ailments – small ailments and big ailments like a complete lack of peace and contentment.

A vicious cycle.

Your antidote?

A virtuous cycle.

Make your every step, “Church”.
