Five midlife reasons to love Disneyland – one themed reason on each blog:

5. Living the lessons practiced by Walt Disney himself (hq)

Quality will out. – Walt Disney

Become the most admired company in the world. – Bob Iger

Live this way, first and foremost.

Teach this irrepressible focus and discipline to others.

The planning, packing, traveling, living – all this is done by over focusing on things other business travelers either under focus on or completely ignore.

Organize our leadership priorities or suffer the consequences

Organize our leadership priorities or suffer the consequences of not being crystal clear and consistent:

  1. Honesty
  2. Behave admirably
  3. Self control
  4. Personal responsibility

With the goals as follows:

  1. Peace and contentment
  2. Confidence

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Knowing it and not doing it means we do not yet know.

Ever been drunk on life?

Raccoon in homeowner trap
It’s a trap to believe that someday later, we can really, deeply explore our convictions.

 

Ever been drunk on life?

So intoxicated that there would be someone who loves you so much that they would willingly give their life for yours?

Christian or non-Christian, doesn’t matter.

It certainly does not.

What does matter is that we are filled with our conviction.

Something about a loving Father that is so crazy in love with people that he would be willing to sacrifice His Son.

For some it’s simply a story.

For others it’s the only story that matters.

We know this.

What if our boss had to work two days a week in far less optimal conditions, every single week?

 

Getting ready to leave in a day for an eight day California trip.

Third trip in as many weeks.

Knowing there are only 24 hours at home between each trip really focuses the planning to survive and balance.

Insane what focus and discipline can accomplish when we refuse to quit.
