Die defending it?

Church Missal
Yesterday.

 

We spend so much time finding reasons to prove our opinions and disprove conflicting opinions.

Why?

Human nature?

What if we just lived our life in such a way that it inspired us to live so authentically in what we believe that we would die to defend it?

With nothing worth defending, what is there worth living for?

With nothing worth living for, what’s the point?

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.

Life is hard.

Our major responsibility is to show how it’s possible to thrive in spite of this harsh reality.

Is there an echo in here?

Is there an echo in here?

Not running from something. Running to something.

Been running very, very intentionally and with great focus and discipline for six solid years.

Every dang day.

The beauty in this is that the emotional side of this decision is grand and noble and it was made from the best of places with the best of intentions.

This is not the typical.

And to be crystal clear, not typical is par for the course. Not for everyone, only for a few.

Do what you say you’re gonna do.

And don’t tell anyone until it’s done.
