My family spent last week in Orlando, FL. We spent 3 days at Disney theme parks. I found great inspiration there. One of the live shows we saw was “Finding Nemo”. You remember that, right? Two key points:
- Just keep swimming – This is Dory’s mantra. As she is helping Nemo’s dad (Marlin) search for Nemo, they encounter numerous challenges and obstacles. Through it all, Dory reminds Marlin to just keep swimming. Many days in my business, I have to remind myself of that. There are those days when it feels like nothing is working, no progress is being made. That’s when I just keep swimming. Some days are harder than others to keep at it, but I keep on swimming.
- Let go – One of my favorite parts of the show was the turtle scene. The movie version of this is even better, but the live action turtles are a sight to behold. The wise turtles tell us that when you’re caught up in the East Australian Current, the best thing you can do is let it ride. When things are moving along, don’t fight it. Kick back and enjoy the ride.
Just keep swimming.
