Epiphany

Who will make us believe balance is possible? Who will teach your children if not you? Photo: Epcot yesterday, American Adventure.

Epiphany.

Yesterday was the Catholic Church calendar’s “Epiphany”.

Epiphanies are rocket fuel.

Here’s to your blast off with new awareness.

Waiting and doing nothing are the twin siblings of self-destruction.

Twenty years into a 30+ year Disney career, i had an epiphany about work/life balance.

Searching unsuccessfully for a role model at Disney, it hit me.

i must figure this out for myself.

These five daily blogs are a manifestation of my strategy and tactics.

Protect your warm heart

Yesterday during bicycle ride past Disney Springs. Disney’s attention to detail is a happiness trigger for me. So is Stitch.

Protect your warm heart.

What?

A simple life hack for experiencing a degree of career freedom is to have happiness triggers.

Happiness triggers are images, words, phrases, prayers, people, habits, rituals, places, memories, etc, etc.

Happiness triggers do not permanently and overwhelmingly solve for an imbalanced life, but they do help buy moments of relief as you journey to need fewer and fewer moments of relief.

Climb that mountain

Yesterday, At Orlando’s Mall at Millenia.

Do you have peace with who you are?

Are you content with what you have?

Do you feel grateful for the way you love and are loved?

‘Tis the season.

Ya know?

Only your spirit can fulfill what you need. Only your mind can discern what makes sense. Only your body can do the work required for whatever you decide. Only your work ethic will keep you motivated when the going gets tough. Only your home will provide daily respite and refreshment from your waking hours.

What does humanity gain by not changing?

Disney Keynote Speakers
University of Iowa, a few years ago. Invited back again and again because of the ability to help them .think .differently

Most people need love and acceptance a lot more than they need advice. – Bob Goff

Read this on LinkedIn yesterday.

It stopped me.

i thought for a few minutes and then had to type this train of thought…

i agree with Bob.

But betting i differ on where “most people” would find enough generous love and acceptance.

In the mirror.

Love and acceptance is an inside job.

The Internet (or a library) offers unlimited learning. Somewhere along human evolution, we’ve neglected teaching our youth the power of the growth mindset and personal accountability for our mind, body, spirit, work, and home.

We shun this opportunity during public and private education.

And thus send generation after generation into adulthood, and parenting, only to perpetuate our current reality.

We may assume that we, ourselves, have also been sent into adulthood unprepared, because our parents were sent out unprepared.

As a misfit, i’m simply a dad that recognizes the much is and decided to break the chain.

In a perfect world, Son, you will be much better at this than i have been.
