Disney’s Hollywood Studios is Magical. Galaxy’s Edge, same.
Spiritual momentum.
When you are habitually over-focused (thank you Disney and Disney Institute) you attract unique opportunities to use what everyone is given but few recognize the power and the potential.
Spiritual momentum, hyperspeed.
Note: That last sentence is an amateur attempt to incorporate Star Wars into this post. Didn’t grow up ever caring about Star Wars. At all.
That said, the Force is strong here.

Retired our old American Flag yesterday. Only afterwards did i learn the flag should have been folded properly. Additionally, it is customary to say the Pledge of Allegiance or the National Anthem.
There is no part of our journey for wasting
In our youth and even as an older adult in our immaturity, we will inevitably waste time on things that had little to zero value.
A few of these “time-wasted” experiences are helpful.
They help us see how consistently doing good and decent daily habits and rituals propel us forward.
As Bob Dylan said, “He who is not busy being born, is busy dying.”
We did not rush the American Flag burning yesterday. While it isn’t called for, i kept my right hand over my heart until there was nothing left. This was time well wasted.

The rejection stung initially, and then it hit me – this was a chance opportunity from the beginning.
Random, rare, microscopic.
While i had better than decent odds than most longshots – the Speaker’s Bureau they hired gave them their two best speaker choices – because of word-of-mouth and my pedigree, but it wasn’t enough this time.
Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.
Go.
PS. The beauty of this was it began and ended in 72 hours.

Riding home from gym yesterday. Bike parked upper right against telephone pole.
Rode past and then decided to stop and investigate.
This thing is built to avoid touch from other creatures.
What might have been gets forfeited due to indecision.
It dawned on me yesterday that Cheryl and i have made generous offers and suggestions (over time) for others to visit and stay for extended periods of time.
At one point (20 years ago +-) we had blueprints sketched out for a mother-in-law apartment on our two-acre lot.
The reality is this, we get comfortable with our surroundings – the unknown and potentially better situation bring change, but the (scary) opportunity often gets trumped by familiarity and fear.
Change is scary, which is another way of saying opportunity is scary.
Opportunity often gets trumped by familiarity and fear.
Our options when an offered opportunity isn’t embraced?
Serenity…
You can offer, suggest, and or recommend.
But you must allow the other person(s) to make their decision.
When the decision isn’t what you feel is best (long-term), you must ride it out.
And wait.
And let it go.
Over time (years or decades later) it will likely play out unfavorably.
Should you feel guilty or sorry for the other’s missed opportunity?
The awkward (and correct) answer is “no”.

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.
