The privilege of making mistakes, spirit

Disney Keynote Speaker
The beauty of a creative, and insignificant, photo shoot is the risk taking. From a long-ago Disney Cruise, in the upper deck “Walt-themed’ bar. Brought dozens of small plastic Disney Character figurines,

Is it a human privilege to make mistakes?

i think it is.

The privilege of making mistakes is only for people who act.

Why?

Intentional action leads to outcomes.

Outcomes lead to learning.

Learning leads to growth.

Growth is the essence of life.

Bottomline, whatever you spiritually believe, believe 100%. Not 80%, not even 99%.

Why? Isn’t 99% an A+?

You tell me…

All in.

Because if you’re not all in (100% is the only ‘all-in’ number), you are not all in. Period. Hard stop.

Need more convincing? Think about any life circumstance where one, only one, incident is criminal.

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.

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.
