Patience, creativity, and determination

Will the Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights resurface at a different Disney location in the future? Patience will tell.

Holiday break was not a break from running, but it was a 13-day break from the gym. The longest break i can ever recall since 1999. This week’s gym workouts were significantly less intense. Why? Because there is no need to over do it and wake up with sore muscles. Patience, creativity, and determination.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

A metaphor for our own lives, no?

Residential construction near Walt Disney World — This is near the two mailbox marker.

Yesterday was the first day of High School second semester, which included our son’s first real, personal fitness class. He has historically been non-athletic. The teacher had everyone do two laps (half mile). i had no idea this was coming.

Coincidently, the day before, our father/son run included eight mailboxes, or 800 meters. We started running eight weeks ago.

i remember telling him after we finished the half-mile jog that we ran the equivalent of two laps around a track. Have to believe that he had a confidence with him that would have not existed had we not started running 100 meters a day for a week, and then adding 100 meters more each week.

The slow and steady, almost ridiculously easy distance, and the gradual increase added up, and will continue to add up.

A metaphor for our own lives, no?

Determination is always the underdog

Disney University Walt Disney quote — My favorite water station at Walt Disney World. Love the quote…”We keep moving forward…”

Determination is always the underdog.

Dear Son, congratulations on competing your first 800-meter run last night.

Slow and steady works when we continue going slow and steady. As soon as we stop, slow and steady no longer works.

Some things in life are ridiculously obvious.

The cross i bear from a lifetime at Disney…

Lane 8 on College Track — Lane 8 is a metaphor for life. To become the slowest of the fastest.

The cross i bear from a lifetime at Disney is that i thoroughly understand how to articulate a clear, concise, and compelling personal (or corporate) health vision, but struggle with sounding like a radical, over-zealous know-it-all.

And not only do i understand the recipe, i have used it successfully so many times, it literally makes me ill that others make excuses for not following it.
