Dear hope

Starting to find my rhythm with this first Disney Leadership book.

 

Dear hope,

How is it possible to improve without hope?

Any type of health improvements require time and effort.

And often, a lot of time and a lot of effort.

So much so that few of us can stand the wait.

So we give up.

Dear memories,

Finishing 3rd from last may not be something anyone wants to remember, but please consider this – the guy who finished last had more people cheering louder than any other runner.

Why?

Because of all the runners, he had the most reasons to quit, but he didn’t.

Two weeks ago, that was you, even though you walked the last 400 meters.

Dear memories, you provide all of us with personal inspiration when we are able to look back at our “failures” and realize they were anything but.

Ta-da!

 

Dear doubt,

You remind me of a snake-oil salesman from days of old.

Dear inspiration

Florida paper wasps
Somehow while running, two paper wasps on the ground caught my eye.

 

Florida paper wasps
So i knelt down and watched.

 

Florida paper wasps
Were they fighting or mating?

 

Florida paper wasps
It looked like a fight.

 

Florida paper wasps
The reason for (possibly) fighting perplexed me.

 

Florida paper wasps
And 15 seconds later, they flew off separately. A Google search for fighting was unsuccessful at identifying this behavior.

 

Dear inspiration,

Thank you for inspiring people like Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, Rosa Parks, and Mother Teresa.

Inspiration is the real work of leaders.

Dear laughter

Disney's Not So Scary Halloween Party 2016
Aha, costums can make us look healthy. Last night at Magic Kingdom on my way to Day 5’s writing spot.

 

Dear laughter,

It’s funny how i look back and never thought my hair would turn gray. Never thought running a sub-six minute mile would ever feel like an accomplishment.

Never thought that health really is wealth.

Funny how ignorant i was and never knew.

Ps. What’s funny now is how i can see my only option is to laugh at the devil’s incessant daily temptations to not take exercising so seriously.
