Ownership determines motivation, body

Mickey Mouse note paper with handwritten note
This could easily morph to: “jeff, thank you for never giving up, even when it would be easier to quit. #motivation #ownership #nearing70

Motivation’s secret is ownership.

Therefore, the greater the ownership, the greater the motivation.

i’ve learned that what really counts is what i learn after i think i know it all.

Take my exercise habits.

Injury prevention used to be a rare thought.

Why?

i was strong, resilient, confident.

What i learned the hard way is the mind stays young, the body does not.

And as i approach 70, it gets even more unknown.

Cool.

Ps. Love learning. Always have. Love motivating myself too. Always have.

To each their own, body

To each their own.

Live and let live.

Live and learn.

Dear Son, our life equals our habits.

Live and let live.

Kinda like accepting.

People will live differently than you.

People will live healthier than you.

People will live less healthy than you.

People will like how you pursue physical vibrancy.

People will dislike how you pursue physical vibrancy.

Through it all, remember this mantra…

Live and let live.

Insight: This is what you want others to do for you as well.

Live and learn, body

boy on pogo stick
Learned a lot from falling off the pogo stick. Mostly, what to do more of and what to do less of.

Live and learn.

Wisdom comes from experience and experience comes from making mistakes.

Let’s make “SYDK” a category, body

Dear Son, the blog category ‘dear son’ is on all five blog websites.

What you probably don’t know is that everything i write could start with, “Dear Son,”.

Everything.

Small example…

Dear Son, you don’t remember me being unfit. What really happened though is after you were born i committed to getting and staying physically vibrant. The commitment’s ‘streak’ is closer to 30 years than 20.

And it was especially challenging in the moments and the years when i was tempted to pause, or worse, quit.

But…

Never paused.

Never quit.

From this was born, “Find a million ways to stay motivated.”
