Message from Walt Disney
WELCOME TO THIS MAGIC MONDAY MOMENT
Kicking off your week with some thoughts around a favorite Disney quote (because in my world - Disney is life!).
original message date: 10/04/21
Happy Monday!
In my individual coaching and team workshops – we talk a lot about goal setting and the magic of cultivating a future focus. In this sense, there is no one that I draw more inspiration from than Walt Disney.
In honor of Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary on October 1st – I could not think of a better quote than this one from Walt himself:
Walt Disney’s entire life story is nothing short of remarkable. But it was his vision, determination, and unwavering focus on what he was passionate about that I find most inspiring.
He had a lot of dreams. Of course, along the way, he encountered plenty of setbacks and barriers (such as bankruptcy, losing the rights to his first character – Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, several rejections, a strike and the list goes on…).
But he believed so wholeheartedly in bringing families together and providing joy to the world through storytelling, animation, movies, theme parks and more - that giving up when something got in the way was not an option. Learning, course-correcting, persevering and believing was his only way.
Practicing courage was the key to Walt’s dreams coming true.
This lesson is one that we all can adopt - our dreams can come true too.
Walt passed away before seeing his vision of Walt Disney World come to fruition. But I’m pretty sure he’d be pleased with the results as we celebrate the 50th.
This is all thanks to his ability to dream, believe and be courageous.
Are you in?
Write down one of your dreams. Next, write down all of the things that are getting in your way of pursuing it. Ask yourself if you have the courage to overcome them. If not – why? If yes – it's time to get to work. Can’t wait to see the results!
Wishing you a wonderful week. You've got this!
