Do you have a normal stress level for an average day?

Do you have a normal stress level for an average day?

Most days i manage stress with peace, serenity, and focus.

The past 24 hours have felt like an ambush.

i used to live like that every single day in Disney Resort Operations.

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.

How much risk?

Business traveler wallet
Flashback to my last year at Disney Institute 2013. i no longer use coffee or a WDW Corporate Credit Card, and life is ah-mazing.

 

How much risk?

From one (a little) to 10 (bet everything), how much are you willing to put at stake to make the change you seek?

 

You know how much courage it would take for a military leader, say 1000 years ago, to invade a foreign land by ship, and to order the last row boat to burn the ships before rowing to shore? That’s a true succeed or die situation. So, i’ve burned the ships.

You’ll never get in trouble if you make this kind of mistake

Catholic Lectors
Have never heard a Lector do this – reading something recommended from Lectorprep.org.

 

You’ll never get in trouble for making a mistake while trying to do the right thing.

It was that way at Disney, if you had a great leader. Not sure how it plays out in the Catholic Church.

Note: i did as the note above suggests. Hours later, an email asking me to not do it again. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

PS. Several Parishioners told me immediately after Mass that the context was important and that it helped them understand the reading.

Had i not tested my hypothesis after 13 years…

Allergy prescription
Upper right shows yesterday’s date.

 

Forgive yourself and move on.

And remember that failure is important.

Had i not tested my hypothesis that after 13 years of monthly allergy injections (one in each arm) i could live without the injections, i would have never discovered that i can’t.
