Disney Employee Engagement Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Retired Disney Institute Keynote Speaker and Prolific Blogger. Five daily, differently-themed personal blogs (about life's 5 big choices) on five interconnected sites.
Yeah, roughly 3,103 days of, “One day at a time”.
Three thousand days and nights.
Plus one hundred three more.
You know, more or less.
Somebody want to do the math? I picked the biggest drinking night in the entire world to quit (for the third time) – December 31, 2001.
This means December 30 was the final night.
I guess it had been nearly three decades.
December 31, 2001 was very surreal….
Apparently, and collectively as a Nation, we don’t want it bad enough.
We want it to be easy.
We want it to be quick.
We want it to not interfere with our routine.
We want it to taste good.
We want it to be pain-free.
And over 2/3 of our population is in desperate need.
The only time we can get people to run is when we ask, “How bad do you want it?”
The more you write, the more you discover.
The more you discover, the more you want to know.
The more you want to know, the more you seek.
The farther you seek, the more you know.
The more that you know, the more you write.
Same for running and health.

It’s a fairly common stereotype, or paradigm, to think that 51 year olds are not even close to being in great physical condition.
Mostly it’s true. And it’s true because not many 51 year olds are in great physical condition, which only fuels the ridiculous paradigm.
We need role models, but not role models who can talk about it. We need role models who can lead the way – by doing it. And the only way we can know they can do it, is if they do.
I guess Barak Obama is a show off for being the first black president, or Jesus for dying on the cross, or Mother Teresa, Oprah, Steve Jobs…
