Act one day at a time

9-second video: This experience fortuitously enabled a very special Grizzly Bear experience a few days later. The pinnacle Grizzly Bear experience in my half-century of visits. Cheryl was next to me while filming this clip and during the 50-year pinnacle experience.

How hard is it to write a relatively short and simple blog post about something you’ve experienced?

Not hard.

Then why was it impossible to do it every day?

Maybe it was because you wanted to write five daily posts.

But you had an end date (100 days from the launch).

And you had a compelling reason.

Do the reps.

Practice writing.

Practice by doing it.

You don’t sign up for a 5k, do nothing, and then six months later show up to run for the first time ever.

Same with writing a book.

Note: Never saw the ‘addiction’ to writing coming. It’s been nearly 14 consecutive years without missing a single day. An unofficial world record by nearly 50% of the official world record (17,212 posts).

Karma?

What do you think?

Resolutions never work

24-second video: The Montana Rockies Eastern boundary. Behind me is The Great Plains’ Western boundary.

Resolutions never work.

i know so many people who believe New Year’s resolutions never work.

Why?

Because odds favor the saying.

If you over-focus on why they fail, you can address the real issues.

Addressing the real issues requires you to get real with yourself.

Getting real with yourself creates the space to .think .differently about when, how, and why you want to change.

When.

How.

Why?

This changes everything.

We’ll be back to normal in three weeks

people walking in the morning
Saw 9 people walking yesterday, January 3. This is nine more than i usually see on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings.

We’ll be back to normal in three weeks.

Somewhere around January 21, 2019, the four-mile roundtrip walks to and from the gym will be like they were in 2018.

 Just me.

No other walkers.

No one creates a life on what they’re gonna do.

Something about how new year’s resolutions never work, blah, blah, blah.

Please don’t bore us with what you are going to do differently

Lonesome country road in the fog
The loneliness of the daily commitment to lifetime wellness.

 

Please don’t bore us with what you are going to do differently this year.

Instead, surprise, delight, and inspire with what you’ve already done.

Hope is a great strategy, but it is a poor tactic.
