Ever Think Like This? – Page 13 – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

Two ingredients that can morph into adrenaline

Disney conference speaker jeff noel — First one in the room, up behind the stage. Difficult to perceive, but the stage is two feet higher than floor.

Grateful for a few hours sleep, even if it was not nearly enough.

This happens sometimes.

This is where being well prepared and excited morphs into adrenaline.

Adrenaline is nature’s way to provide energy when and where needed.

We wouldn’t miss our medication

Universal Studios 2016 construction — Ran through Universal Studios after meeting Lee Cockerell at Starbucks.

We wouldn’t miss our medication, probably because it’s easy to swallow a pill.

Not until we see exercise as our (preventative) medication will we have the same sense of obligation.

A run and a gym visit.

The Doc has prescribed the strongest dose allowed by the FDA.

Don’t let can’t stop you from can

Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from what you can do.

i can’t run eight miles this morning, but i can run some.

Who wants to?

Map My Run screen shot — Yesterday’s New Year’s Day run in 36 degree temps, plus wind chill.

College Track — Two Colleges near the Nursing home.

Nursing home shared resident room. — Shared Nursing home room. The TV remotes are one of their most important tools.

Nursing Home room — The emotions and thoughts from sitting here run from joy to sadness, from gratitude to confusion.

Did i want to run in 36 degree weather yesterday?

Could i have spent those 90 minutes in a more comfortable situation?

Who wants to watch TV all day, everyday?

Being around people 20 to 40 years older than you – if you pay close attention and aren’t medicated, distracted, or entertained – you become keenly aware that vibrant health is something to fight like hell for.

Life is fair

Bird on a wire — Less than half a mile into yesterday’s run to Disney.

Life is fair.

Many believe life is unfair.

The fairness stems from the fact that it’s ~~brutally~~ unfair to everyone.

Just minutes into yesterday’s run to Magic Kingdom, the reality of this photo stopped me.

The small bird (Mockingbird) on the left down wire (barely noticeable) and the large bird on the right (Hawk) are at a standoff.

The Hawk wants what’s in the Mockingbird’s nest. The ridiculously smaller and weaker Mockingbird has but one choice and that is to muster the strength to defend it’s nest with it’s life.

The odds are stacked against us that we might dedicate a lifetime to doing the hard, tedious work required to exercise regularly, consume a healthy diet, and get adequate rest.
