Such a beautiful tree. Basking in early Autumn sun. Heaven’s Peak, as grand as it is, is almost invisible. The tree takes our focus off of what appears inconsequential in the distance – perhaps only a dark sky.
You cannot build a reputation based on what you’re gonna do.
Grand intentions, with inadequate action, is what turns people sour on life: belief, faith, commitment, and purpose.
Why?
Because intent is not action.
Act.
Like you mean it.
And i know you mean it.
How?
You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t.

Top right is a direct quote from Pastor Chuck. i added the “hyper local” note.
Pastor Chuck said, “Plan A is the local Church. There is no plan B.”
i go one step further to say that Plan A is hyper-local, the people you live next to and the families you drive by before turning down your street.
.think .differently
Being different is better than being better.
Note: On yesterday’s walk to the 9:30AM service, stopped to talk to Mike, who’s home is separated from Lakeside Church only by the Church’s chain-link fence. Anyway, after talking with Mike, asked if i could give him a hug. He accepted. Church is every step. Had to jog the next half-mile to the Church to make up for the time spent talking with Mike. Totally not an inconvenience.

From the same Sanibel Island gift shop…different day and year – insanely random. The context here is that you never have to talk about your “workouts”. Your strength, flexibility, endurance, smile…they all kinda snitch on you about your workouts.
Tell a great story today, no words.

Intermission at the Walt Disney theater. Photo taken from the edge of the stage. The performers must perform even if they’re not feeling well.
Separating onstage from backstage is a key component of the Disney Magic.
Onstage is defined as anywhere that a Cast Member can see strollers and babies. Backstage is anywhere that you can’t.
On stage is not only a physical place, it’s also a psychological place, and you must act like there’s nowhere else you’d rather be even if that’s not true.
As an adult, especially if you are a parent, you do this all the time when you’re around young people.
‘Tis the season to be onstage – all day, everyday.
Are you organized with your structure and processes to live like this? What if you were? Why aren’t you? Or, how does this sound, how does it feel to know that you’ve overcome the way you used to be? Remembering how it felt impossible and comparing that to how it feels now, what advice would you have for others who are feeling that it’s impossible now?

Listened yesterday morning May 8 walking to the gym. And again this morning (photo here at 6:38am) with our Son.
We made it under 15 minutes. This makes me smile.
Listened a second time this morning.
If Disney Ran Your Life official podcast release is coming in June 2019.
When today’s posts go live, this will be old news; however, the excitement in the moment right now (May 9) is exceptional.
Sent this to Jody yesterday, May 8.
Jody will be in Orlando soon and we will record a couple “official” episodes at Walt Disney World.
Try to imagine the mindset of someone willing to do (and pay for) 22 practice episodes.
Imagine also, if possible, someone who brings their podcast host from Seattle to Kuwait to record the first “Official” episode of If Disney Ran Your Life.
Dream, Create, Inspire.
Means nothing without action.
Son, you will be gifted with countless opportunities to grow. Many of them will be obvious right fits. Many will not.
