Please, please, please, remain humble

Please, please, please, remain humble.

Being able to retire is like hitting the lottery (or so it seems from the outside).

Hitting the lottery is something to shout about.

Potentially.

Please don’t go rubbing it in people’s faces unintentionally.

It’s been six years in the making. It’s 15 days away.

When you have sown deep and wide

Praying for the deepest level of humility and grace.

There’s an upside to “you reap what you sow”when you have sown deep and wide.

There is an astonishingly overwhelming feeling of luck surrounding life’s financial choices right now.

Twenty-five years of weekly 401k contributions purchasing nothing but Disney stock.

Disney stock is up about 40% over last year’s price.

A staggering increase, but what’s easy to forget are all the years following 9/11 where the price was completely and utterly undervalued – for 13 years.

It was a great time to be buying though.

Please grant humility and grace as the days unfold.

Humbled by the spiritual aging process.

Does our spiritual and emotional well being work as an immune system?

Are we willing to live today with the same type of humility and servant hood as that of a person confined to the walls and halls of a nursing home?

Public recognition is not for everyone and even painful for some

Patience is strength.

Gratitude is strength.

Forgiveness is strength.

Had only two things to say to the wonderful folks attending the surprise celebration.

  1. I don’t know what to say.

  2. Thank you.

Most of us are in a different place than we were 15 years ago.

For a blessed number, it’s a much more servant-focused place.

A place they never saw coming.

A place they could have never foreseen.

A good and decent place.
