Happy New Year!
We get to start all over again to not just have a good year, but to continue the journey for our personal development and to make good, solid decisions for growing our future. I'm starting by being very thankful that over 44 years ago I heard an idea and decided to learn if it was really true. That day literally changed our lives and it has been an incredible ride.
Last night was New Year's Eve around the world. Faye and I went and had a early dinner here in Scottsdale. I took a note pad along so we could talk about what we wanted to think about doing this new year. We talked about various things and made a list of projects and/or goals we will address this year. We decided on eight things we will want to focus on. Some very simple and others will take more effort and focus.
After dinner we went to an early movie, Saving Mr. Banks with Tom Hanks. The following is what I found online that briefly describes the movie.....
Spurred on by a promise he made to his daughters, Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) embarks on what would become a 20-year quest to obtain the movie rights to Mary Poppins. The author, P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson), proves to be an uncompromising curmudgeon who has no intention of letting her beloved characters become mangled in the Hollywood machine. However, when the books stop selling and she finds herself in need of money, Travers reluctantly agrees to listen to Disney's proposition.
A great story. A story about a dream, problems to overcome, obstacles, barriers for making progress, setbacks, and what it took for achieving a major goal. This is a very moving story and worth your time and money to make a point to see it. All I will say is at the end of the movie no one left their seat. A very moving story. If you like feeling inspired and walking out feeling very glad you went....this is a movie for you.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
