If you tell me, I’ll never remember

doesn’t matter if common sense has been pounded into us. what matters is using it.

 

How does a person stay motivated for an entire lifetime? It’s brutally difficult. Everyone gets this. If handed the motivational secrets on a silver platter, we’ll never remember them.

Yet, if wellness secrets are revealed to us in what looks like a potentially boring, repetitive, self-absorbed story (like yesterday) and we discover our “aha” moment, we’ll never forget.

Know what really makes a Baby Boomer feel vibrant? Not a trick question. Vibrancy.

First day of Christmas vacation, fifth straight running day (rare in the past year) yielded a 5:49 mile. Splits of 2:55/2:54. Comeback 2013, here we come.

Insight: Find a million ways to stay motivated for a lifetime. Whatever it takes.

Kiss our behind, devil

un-ladylike, unsportsman like – and so is the devil

 

Kiss our behind, devil. It’s the devil that temps us, and ultimately convinces us, to quit.

Hey devil, you lost another battle last night. Sorry. Not trying to rub it in, but I’m definitely hinting to you that you can kiss my butt and move on. You’re wasting your time here.

Ran five miles this morning (and it’s still morning as I write this). Got nine hours of sleep last night.

Life is good… when we refuse to quit and when we know what’s important in our life, and we consistently deliver on it.

Heck yeah I’m tired

Heck yeah I’m tired. Ran two miles in the dark this morning. Taught at Disney all day – burning the candle at both ends.

At least I ran. At least the client’s (President of North American division of multi-billion dollar global company) expectations were exceeded. At least I’m in bed early. And at least the brand promise didn’t get snuffed out (if I finish the other three blog posts after this one)…

Top five things I’ve ever done?

PCH
been on PCH with Cheryl, for work, with Jesus, but not with Chapin (not yet)

 

Becoming healthy as a lifestyle – rather than as a need – is probably the best thing I’ve ever done, right after these four other chronological milestones:

  1. marrying Cheryl
  2. choosing Disney for a career
  3. becoming a Dad
  4. loving Jesus more than anything
