Happy present moment.

Such a simple, easy thing to say.

Yet.

Yet nearly impossible for humans to live with.

Note: Gonna go on the record to say it’s absolutely impossible. Except for the few, the proud, the brave.

Day 4 CCL, home

sunset tinged clouds — From our ‘Cabin’…which is ‘home’ for the entire month of September.

Want to know if you are living your best life?

Couple of metrics come to mind immediately, intuitively:

You feel a vibrancy, an energy, a peace, that is the best version of anything you’ve ever lived. Consistently (daily).
You own every decision. No one is deciding for you.
You absolutely embrace being the CEO of You, Inc.

Day 3 CCL, home

fortune daily business updates email — Do you believe Steve Jobs told Bob Iger not to stay too long at Disney?

Over-focus on the same priorities you currently (and habitually) under-focus on or ignore.

Work is addicting.

i know.

Most leaders and owners intimately know.

Steve Jobs knew.

Steve was dying.

His friend, Bob Iger, became Pixar’s steward.

And Steve was grateful to have Bob to pass the baton to.

And as a payback, Steve gifted his trusted friend and faithful steward with brilliant wisdom.

Personal opinion: Did Bob listen? Doesn’t seem so. Bob became CEO in 2005 and was supposed to retire in 2013. Here we are in 2024 and he’s back for the ‘umpteenth’ time. As a shareholder, i love having Bob leading us. As a medicare-card carrying senior, i hope Bob and his wife Willow believe they are living their best life.
