Memory a day, spirit

Sun at the break of the horizon from Jet
One person’s sunset is another’s person’s sunrise

My big, hairy, audacious spiritual goal?

To die being at peace with who i am and content with what i have.

Memories are the oxygen for self-reflection and self-acceptance.

Is it possible to have too much of a good thing?

Time will tell.

i strive to watch every sunrise and sunset.

While not perfect, my batting average is excellent.

Here’s the thing with “how much is enough?”…

There are too many individual sunrises and sunsets to have specific memories of each one.

And here’s the insight on why this voluminous effort isn’t overdone nor hypocritical…

It’s not the hundreds of annual (out of 730 annually possible) moments. It’s doing one thing to make each morning, and evening, reflective and appreciative.

A simple, intentional habit.

It’s literally just one habit done twice a day over a lifetime.

Making two special times of each day special, sacred, important.

That’s the memory.

Attempt more, spirit

Learning stimulates knowledge.

Trying stimulates confidence.

Learning either necessitates trying, or satisfies ambition.

Be ambitious to learn.

Be fanatical to try.

Learning, without trying, fuels regret. 

Trying eliminates regrets.

Ps. Repetition is the mother of all learning.

Pss. Never get bored with the basics.

Our spirit is a key driver in creating our ’emotional environment”.

God is a word i use as a net to catch all ‘religions’, including no religion. Every human has the capacity to choose what ‘grounds them’ emotionally. Many call their choice, “God”.

The bolded top statement. Everyone at Advent Health can recite this at will.

Advent Health is the only non-Disney organization i’ve experienced where every employee knows their common purpose.

Note: My experience comes from getting to know some 2,000 various organizations, to varying degrees of depth, since 1999 when i started teaching at Disney Institute.

wedding party next to a teepee
We watched this for several hours. From the morning setup through the wedding vows.
two teepees in the mountains
The morning setup in full swing.

Mountain weather is unpredictable.

So is life.

Hone simple, powerful values, insights, and habits.

Strive to thrive no matter what the weather (or life) brings you.

The old question was “How do we reach more people?” The new question is “How do we become irreplaceable to the right people?”

Scale used to mean reaching everyone. Now it means mattering to someone.
