Daisy-style mountain wildflower. Midway through today’s posts, a break from the photo ‘galleries’.

i keep my life’s most important insights simple, key, repeatable.

Peace-filled possibilities

Peace is the way.

Strive constantly to be at peace with who you are and content with what you have.

Peace-filled opportunities include gratitude, surrender, and forgiveness.

Profoundly simple

The time-tested meeting architecture on the left. Disney Institute’s additional layer, from our fanatical habit of over-focusing on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.
Handwritten notes
Sitting in the back of a Disney Institute class while my co-facilitator was leading the discussion, an idea popped in my head. If i don’t immediately write it down, it gets lost forever. Only later do i have time to evaluate if the scribbled idea has merit.
Five flip chart pages on the wall
Have never seen Disney Institute break down the five “obvious and universal business pillars”. Nor have i ever seen them (remember, i was at Disney 1982-2014) articulate 19 organizational blueprints that dovetail into the five common-sense organizational pillars.
Disney's creativity class draw Mickey Mouse result
Organizational creativity requires parameters. The paradox of “think outside the box”. Drawing Mickey Mouse nails this insight. Before i recognized the the insight from this ‘standard’ activity, none of my Disney Institute colleagues used “Draw Mickey” to hit the “think inside the box” bullseye.

Profoundly simple.

Simply profound.

With our spirit: Faith, Hope, and Love.

With our work: A clear, concise, and compelling vision.

Simplicity is the ultimate life hack

Roadside flowers are exquisite.

Simplicity is the ultimate life hack.

In the absence of a simplicity teacher before we turn 18, we are destined to never adapt or to take forever to adapt.

Our life gets too complicated and we get overwhelmed and stressed out by our inability to simplify.

Son, i’m still learning and honing – and you’ve benefitted from my consistent teaching and observation.

Remember what you observed while we worked in Glacier. One small day-hike pack for everything i need all Summer.

Write, and live, like you mean it

Wooden steps
We’ve been sleeping on the sofa bed for many weeks, with a sheet as a door. The steps got finished while we were at College.

Nice to be home.

Nice to be alive.

Nice to be able to write about both.
