Carol finally got the pic Tim was hoping for. Tim then got Carol into Magic Kingdom. And i walked to Disney’s Contemporary Resort and bicycled home.

Took six years to meet in person.

Tim worked at (Epcot’s) Canada in 2002.

We connected online six years ago.

He wanted to thank me in person for ‘changing his life’ personally and professionally.

Humbled.

Grateful.

Happy.

Note: We rode Haunted Mansion and Small World together.

Your opportunity to serve is right in front of you

High school orientation
Yesterday during High School Social time. One of those students is brand new to the school.

 

Your opportunity to serve is right in front of you. It’s called High School. Can’t wait to see how you embrace this. Not sure you’re even aware of the opportunity at your feet.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Unselfish desire is remarkably rare and inspiring

Definition of Ambition
Prepared notes where written specifically for our meeting.

 

In advance of the mentoring meeting, Laura asked for some questions, from me, in advance.

  • Q. What drives you?
  • Q. What do you hope to accomplish from your ambition?
  • Q. What are one to three things you’d change at Disney to make it better?

At face value, ambition has a selfish connotation.

In the photo above taken from Laura’s journal, the glaring omission is the word contribution. The earnest desire to contribute to a higher, unselfish purpose.

Laura exudes this unselfish desire.

It’s inspiring.

Wondering if Lee Cockerell sees that in me.

Never thought about it before. But i am now.
