Your emotions map

Mountain lake beach
One of my favorite beaches. Best stone skipping beach in the world.
Pile of small flat stones
Perhaps millions of small flat stones on a 400-meter-long beach.

Your emotions are your map. Your actions are your legacy.

Feeling without growing is an incomplete way to live.

You are free to stress or surrender.

dad

Habits are what we think and do without thinking.

Balancing stress against surrender should be overwhelming, 0% vs 100%.

In my life i have harbored stress and anxiety from unspoken expectations.

In my life i have surrendered to expectations being a shared adult responsibility.

i’ve spent several decades discerning what i can control and what i can’t.

Living in peace with my growth and matured beliefs.

Bluey will make his Goucher debut soon.

i love being at peace putting my wife and son first.

dad

First third of my life focused on me growing and having fun. Mostly a self-centered life. Most teens and college students are naturals at this.

The second third-and-a-half (40 years+-), entirely focused on career and serving others. Habitual, lifetime sacrifices because of Disney’s “We work while others play.”

Cheryl and i committed ourselves to subscribing to this philosophy.

It’s the Disney Way!

Now, in the small fraction of my life, since Covid and as a college student’s parent, life has transformed.

Subscribed to doing whatever i want, whenever i want.

Radically different life filters now.

This change is a confluence of events.

A ticking clock and a desire to “balance my books”.

Feed what needs feeding

Homemade pizza
Last night. Feeding our bodies.

In my giving, i receive. Same with you.

dad

Feeding my soul emanates from serving.

Feeding my body emanates from our kitchen.

Daily writing has honed my desire, and ability, to feed my mind, body, spirit, work, and home.

In the 15 years of daily giving (writing) of my (precious) time, i receive.

Do the reps is ringing in my ears and heart right now.

Peace be with you.

I before E

Bob Iger and Michael Eisner

i had the distinct privilege to work under Michael for 21 years and Bob for nine.

dad

In 1982 Ron Miller, Walt Disney‘s son-in-law, was our CEO. i wasn’t thinking about leadership in 1982 let alone ever coming back to Disney after my stint was done.

Two of the world’s most visionary leaders who led with the DNA of Walt Disney.

And then there’s me. At the bottom.

Bringing the Magic to life. Every day. All day.

It ain’t the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

Can i get an “amen” from all my fellow Cast Members?
