Looking ahead, looking back – simultaneously

 

Yesterday came and went in the blink of an eye. Like they all do.

The paradox of writing 100 days ahead?

Seeing the momentous once-in-a-life occasions mixed with the yearly seasonal milestones:

  • Tomorrow is the Summer Solstice (again) – June 21.
  • Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of beginning a full time Disney Career – September 27.

Digging the ability to look back, look forward – and enjoy them both right here, right now.

January 25, 1982 and September 27, 1984 are both listed as ‘hire dates’.

The second date is used to track ‘full-time longevity’.

In six weeks, the service pin changes to 30.

As our biological clocks tick by, we have the prerogative to relish the moments. To bask in the sum of our career contribution.

Or not.

It’s a choice.

Only one person focuses on it.

The CEO.

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.
