Celebrate victory over addiction

Disney’s Animal Kingdom yesterday.

Cheryl went to the gym at 7:15 AM before heading off to work at Walt Disney World yesterday.

Our son slept-in like a college freshman on Christmas break.

i wanted a big cardio activity.

It was 7:45 AM.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom (DAK) was the only Park open to Cast on New Year’s Eve, so off i went and 13 miles later…DAK.

PS. In 2001, on December 31, i stayed sober on New Year’s Eve for the first time since 1975.

The three things in speaking work here too

Disney’s Epcot Mexico pavilion merchandise table.

The three audience objectives i use in keynote speeches work here too.

  • Have fun
  • .think .differently
  • Lean into discomfort

As you reflect on what’s at the core of your spiritual and emotional beliefs, do these three things and you will find greater clarity and more joy.

This is not a life-sentence by being highly structured

sanibel sunrise
In the midst of an amazing Sanibel Island sunrise yesterday…

 

sanibel rainbow
…i remembered to do a 180-degree turnaround. As i watched and photographed the rainbow, i saw a man with a big camera step onto the beach and walk toward me. He was so captivated by the firey-red glow of sunrise behind me, the rainbow evaded him.

 

Being focused and disciplined with our habits and rituals doesn’t sentence us to a life lacking in spontaneity and fun.

Quite the opposite.

We are able to take what unexpectedly crosses our path and use healthy improvisation to do something we’ve never (or rarely) done before.

This is exciting, fun, and often provides joy where and when we didn’t expect.

What many never experience and therefore can’t correlate is that wellness attracts, facilitates and enhances spontaneity.

Who knew?

Only preach what you practice

Google maps
Just a moment in time yesterday. Almost there.

 

Universal Studios signage
Knowing how i got here and why i was here – surreal.

 

Disney Keynote Speakers
The best way to travel with two backpacks.

 

bicycle locked to bamboo pole
First time securing a bicycle to a bamboo pole. Couldn’t find a bike rack to save my life.

 

Disney Keynote Speakers
Wasn’t expecting this, but wasn’t surprised either – as soon as i walked inside.

 

apple watch fitness app
For posterity.

 

random photo
First time showing up for a speech in cutoff jeans and a sweat-soaked tee-shirt.

 

Only preach what you practice.

Not gonna lie, there was a moment of nervous uncertainty when the client and i met for the first time yesterday morning.

So many firsts (risks).

Many of us are hard to impress.

But what went down yesterday…i impressed myself.

Pretty rare.

And cool.
