Disney Customer Service Speaker

Disney Customer Service Speaker
Always run into some folks i know.

 

Do you know what my hope is for you in 11th grade?

That you discern what wellness means and how aging and wellness are not mutually exclusive.

Malcolm X quote
The other day in a University hallway. This thought can easily be applied to personal wellness.

 

i used to feel guilty because i rarely exercised.

Then i realized i had to decide how i was going to deal with the guilt.

i used to feel guilty because by not being committed to personal wellness, i was, in fact, committing to the opposite.

Then i realized i had no solid role models for vibrant health.

i used to get stressed wondering what aging would be like as a sedentary person.

The future i observed was the lives of people close to me and older than me.

Then i realized that most of what i saw (and continue to see) was status quo, excuse-laden, dysfunctional, and victim-based.

Now my wellness motivation centers on being a role model for our Son.

bicycling on Bucknell campus
Saw lots of bikes considering it’s Summer. Freshman aren’t allowed to have a car.

 

Wishing you vibrant health today.

Would that make today a little bit better for you?

Unprecedented success often includes unexpected losses

A comfortable lead going into 2nd leg.

 

2017 Track & Field World Championships
Team USA Men have won seven consecutive 4 x 400 relay world championships. Yesterday in London, the string was broken. Trinidad and Tobago (right edge) won with USA crossing the line in second.

What does unprecedented success look like?

Perhaps it is reaching a vibrant level of physical wellness and then maintaining (and enhancing) it for the rest of your life.

Looking forward to our walk on Market Street and around campus in an hour.
