E152: WHAT DISNEY WORLD TAUGHT ME ABOUT UNITY

We’re Not as Divided as They Want Us to Think: What Disney World Taught Me About Unity. I just got back from taking my 11-year-old nephew Malikai to Disney World for the first time, and I came home with way more than sore feet. The small moments I shared with total strangers reminded me how much we all have in common. In this episode, you’ll hear: Perception is everything. Two people can live the same reality and have completely different experiences based on how they see it. Gratitude changes the trip. I paid for this trip in cash after growing up watching my dad struggle with credit card debt, and nearly repeating that pattern myself. Know what you don’t want. Seeing what didn’t work for others can shape your life just as much as knowing what you do want. We speak the same language, even when we don’t. I shared a laugh at a water fountain with a man who didn’t speak English, and a tired smile with a mom in the bus line. Small help matters. I helped shield a dad and his sleeping toddler through a crowd of thousands, and the “thank you” in his eyes made me cry. We’re not as divided as they want us to think. Most people are good. We all want the best for our kids and a good day. Always have a meeting spot and an exit plan. Stay calm and know where to go. Your challenge: Heading into the holidays, write down the ways you connect with people who think, vote or speak differently than you, and find one way to help a neighbor. When you’re feeling alone, helping someone else is the fastest way back. ----- MY BOOK! www.swing-back.com/book WANNA CHAT OR LEARN ABOUT MY COACHING PROGRAM? - DM here: https://www.instagram.com/phylecia_kellar/
