The Magic of Walt Disney
“Think of the happy things. It’s the same as having wings.”
– Walt Disney
I’m reasonably sure Walt Disney never heard of The Law of Attraction, but he lived the principles brilliantly every day of his life.
Walt lived his life as a grand adventure, dreaming big dreams, with no interest in being “sensible” or playing it safe. As a farm boy growing up in Missouri, his father insisted he stop dreaming and get a “real job” in a factory. The world continues to be delighted he ignored his father’s advice and followed his heart.
As a young man he arrived in Hollywood with little more than pocket-change, the clothes on his back, and a dream. Always believing anything was possible, he focused on dreams rather than obstacles. Even when his first creation, Oswald the Rabbit, was stolen from him, he stayed true to his Dream – Believe – Dare – Do credo and soon produced that world-famous character, Mickey Mouse.
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM WALT DISNEY?
DREAM
* Live with Unfailing Optimism. In 1923, following the bankruptcy of his first business, he left Kansas City for Hollywood. Unconcerned by past failures or financial woes, Walt traveled first class.
* Unleash your Imagination. Disney and his Imagineers drew on the boundless resources of the imagination to create what had never existed before and, in the process, brought joy and inspiration to the world.
BELIEVE
* Believe Anything is Possible. As Walt is quoted as saying, “actually, it’s kind of fun to do the impossible.” Rather than seeing reality as it was, Walt saw it as it could be, as he wanted it to be.
* Stay Focused. Walt’s intense and passionate focus enabled him to turn his big, bold, beautiful dreams into even bigger, bolder, more beautiful reality.
DARE
* Take Risks. In 1937, Walt risked the studio to produce Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – the first, full-length animated film. Everyone – except Walt – expected it to be a total flop. In 1955, Disneyland (the world’s first theme park) was considered to be a colossal business gamble.
DO
* Do What You Love. According to Dick Van Dyke, Disney always greeted his work with the enthusiasm of a ten year old boy.
* “Plus” Everything You Do. Disney made people feel special by giving them more than they paid for and delivering more than they expected. With his commitment to excellence and attention to detail, he would “plus” every experience, then he would “plus the plus.”
“All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.”
– Walt Disney
WANT TO BE MORE LIKE WALT DISNEY?
Your dreams can come true too if you DREAM – BELIEVE – DARE – DO. Make a list right now.
* Start with your DREAM. What do you want? Why do you want it?
* Write out why you BELIEVE you will attain it. If you don’t completely believe it right now, write out what you would need to believe in order to realize your dream.
* DARE. What risks are you willing to take based on your rock-solid belief in your dream?
* DO. What are you willing to do to become a vibrational match to your dream? What are you willing to do to keep your thoughts positive and focused on your dream? Are you willing to listen for and take inspired action?
The thing I most loved about Disney movies as a kid was that the good guys won and everyone lived happily ever after. These themes reflected Walt’s belief in a magical world where dreams really do come true.
Walt Disney dreamed big dreams and pursued those dreams with courage, optimism and perseverance. How about you? Remember: “If you can dream it, you can do it.” – Walt Disney

What did you do on your vacation?
Elizabeth: Barry and I went camping at the island. We did some hiking and had a great campfire.
Ryan: How did you travel?
Elizabeth: We took the subway to 33rd Street, then we took the ferry to the island. It ended up taking us only an hour each way.
The first conversation had very short answers with little information. The second one asked for more detailed information and invited Elizabeth to open up more.
Close-ended questions elicit a one- or two-word answer. This type of question usually begins with words like when, where, which, who, do, and are.
It’s much better to ask open-ended questions that encourage people to generate longer and more interesting conversation. Open-ended questions usually begin with words or phrases like what, how, why, and in what way.
Examples of Close-Ended Questions and Open-Ended Questions
Close-ended question: Who are you going to vote for?
Open-ended question: Why are you voting for that candidate?
Close-ended question: What kind of a job do you have?
Open-ended question: How did you get interested in your line of work?
Close-ended question: Did you like the last speaker?
Open-ended question: What did you agree with that the last speaker said?
Close-ended question: When did you start playing baseball?
Open-ended question: What do you like best about baseball?
As the other person is talking, make appropriate comments to show that you’re listening and understand what they’re saying: “Really? Wow, that’s something!” “I didn’t know that happened.” “I’ll bet that was fun!”
If you use two these tips in your upcoming conversations, you’ll find they go more smoothly. In general, people love to talk about themselves, and by making sure the other person talks at least half the time and asking open-ended questions, most people will feel you’re a brilliant conversationalist.

2 Crucial Tips for Creating a Quality Conversation
Did you know that we’re physically and mentally healthier when we have meaningful and fulfilling relationships? People who are ill get better more quickly when they have a loving support system. People who are broken-hearted from a romantic breakup get back to normal more quickly if they have someone to talk to and pour their hearts out to. Relationships are crucial to having a balanced, happy and healthy life.
Two-Way Conversations Are Best
An important key to a successful relationship is making sure the conversations are two-way. Although some people like to have others do all the talking, this is rare. Most people find a conversation much more interesting if they do at least part of the talking. In fact, many people are sensitive that they talk about half the time. Make sure both of you are sharing in the conversation.
One great way to be certain that the other person is talking enough is to ask the other person questions. Doing this will also communicate that you’re interested in what he or she has to say. Follow up with the next logical question.
For example, you’re discussing your co-worker’s vacation. She tells you that she went to Disneyland with her children. The next logical question is, “What rides did your children go on?” and “Did you go on any rides?” You might ask, “How long did you stay?” or “We had a storm on Saturday. Did you get caught in that?”
Use Open-Ended Questions, Not Closed-Ended Questions
In order to ask questions that help the other person share information, you need to know the difference between close-ended questions and open-ended questions. What do you notice in the following two conversations?
Ryan: Did you have a good vacation?
