What makes it so hard to believe that health requires constant effort and effort requires commitment

Santa Claus plate with cookies — What makes it so hard to believe that health requires constant effort and effort requires commitment

The health habits we spend our lives creating ultimately can pay dividends we never knew we would need later in life. Say for example, you are in your 70’s or 80’s and you fall, have surgery, and are then instructed to go through extensive physical rehab or you will never walk again.

And if you can not walk at that age, the decline to needing 24 hour nursing care is immediate.

What are our odds of doing the challenging work after surgery if we were unwilling to do it while we were healthy?

We can overcome our fear, but only by one way

If you enlarge this photo, you will see only six people in line. There are normally hundreds (or more).

Just had this insight – the reason we are afraid to exercise regularly is because of the underlying and overwhelming notion that we have to do it every week for the rest of our lives.

Four things a book manuscript submission process can teach a person

Clarity • Simplicity • Focus • Execution

The book deal promises 100 days from manuscript submittal, a copy is in your hand.

You get one sentence (20 words max) to describe what your book is about.

Can we summarize our life’s work or our future vision in one sentence?

Have we ever tried? This brings us back to clarity, simplicity, focus, and shipping (doing what you say you are going to do).

All done with generosity and authenticity.

Here is the deal on how it works

excerpt from book back cover — Real life in real time, a photo from yesterday

Here is the deal on how it works – what it is like to write five daily, differently-themed blog posts every single day.

The clock is (always) ticking for all of us and there are constant, important things to be done. This is why some days the posts are particularly inspiring and others days not so much.

Sacrificed running yesterday for writing and book deadlines. Right now I’m hitting the ‘save this post button’ and going for a run. Car mechanic by 8:00am and it’s 30 minutes away. Will finish the other three posts later.

You know the feeling right?
