#Attitude

i am taught attitude about personal organization and simplicity by others who become great examples or stern warnings.

This is also how we teach others who are watching us.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

This website is about our home health. To leave this site to read today’s post on my mental attitude website, click here.

 

So it’s like this…

Fed Ex delivery location
Fed Ex left the package on the chair rather the nearby covered front porch.

So it’s like this…

What if…

Fed Ex delivers a package in a cardboard box and leaves it in the driveway. No big deal right?

What if it rains, what if the residents are away for a few days? What if…

What if the driver would have walked a few more feet and placed it by the front door, under the covered porch?

In an earlier post today about everything happens for a reason the lesson is clear:

This is a first world problem. Maybe the driver is going through some sort of personal hell. If it would have been damaged or stolen, it is replaceable. Let go of how it was handled compared to how you thought it should have gone down.

i learned to grow my patience with imperfection.

Because it’s what i hope other’s will do with my imperfections.

This is one of five daily posts i write. Today’s other four posts are hiding something.

The issues and challenges that occur daily, endlessly.

Teaching a 14-year old to wire his brain to make every problem an opportunity or a challenge. And that bad things happen to everyone, all the time.

Our only chance of thriving is to fight like hell.

To get and stay in fighting shape: mentally, physically, spiritually, career-wise, and at our home base.

There are many adults who never tasted this enough

Orlando Based Keynote Speaker jeff noel

Who taught you about personal responsibility when you where young?

And what are you passing on to the school-aged children in your life?

  • Summer homework done in advance.
  • School supplies taken care of in advance.

Teaching the upside of being done ahead of deadlines doesn’t happen until afterwards, say the first day or first week of school.

There are many adults who never tasted this enough to make it their default menu – ahead of time.

I Went One Step Further With Yesterday’s Lesson, Because That’s What Walt Disney Has Ingrained In Me

Quality & attention to small, almost unnoticeable details is Walt Disney's signature

When we were done with his lesson, the learning could have stopped. But Walt Disney taught me to always try to give a little more than anyone expects. So in a brief story (Walt Disney’s teaching tool of choice) I explained to our son I wished I had been taught earlier in life how to use my own words – to not doubt that my explanation would be as good as anyone else’s.
