How Much Is Enough? – Page 36 – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

Third time’s a charm?

Progress is simple. One foot in front of the other. Day after day.

Would be lying if the thought of another Track comeback in 2015 wasn’t a decently burning goal right now, December 17, 2014.

Will being retired and self-employed make it easier to train?

Just for the record, the past two year’s comeback attempts have been defeated due to injuries and competing priorities.

Maybe at the end of the day, the real blessing isn’t competition and results, but simply the drive to keep going year after year.

Life is hard

Didn’t exercise yesterday. Life is hard.

And glorious.

Make the most of the hand you’re dealt.

Pretty simple, right?

But simple doesn’t mean easy.

Be an example, not a warning.

If you’re reading this don’t be sad or worried

Life is hard. Everyone knows that.

When our four-year old Yellow Lab got sick this past summer and died 24 hours later, it was difficult (and still is) to tell whether it was denial or strength that prevailed afterwards.

Let’s go with strength.

And fast forward from July…

The doctor said he can’t say how much time is left.

If you’re reading this, don’t be sad or worried.

Of all the people that you know who realize that life is not a dress rehearsal and that the best way to approach life is to live like you mean it, none understand it more than the guy typing this.

Denial or strength?

Today’s physical thought continues with a spiritual thought for the day at the Next Blog

Do it because you can

(photo: Patience is strength… so is wellness)

A decent health and wellness goal is as simple as striving to live like the third little pig – build our house with stone.

Fortify our wellness with the kind of hard work that pays higher dividends.

Because we can.

When the unexpected bad things happen, we have two major choices

(photo: This is the path that takes us to the beach on Sanibel Island. Down one loved one on this morning’s walk.)

When the unexpected bad things happen, we have two major choices:

Lose control
Maintain control

Like anything else in life, the degree to which we prioritize our busy schedules is the degree to which we plan for bad things.

The time to worry about bad things is when we don’t have to.

Does it make us immune from pain.

No.

It’s still hard as hell.

Imagine if we didn’t exercise, eat right and get decent rest.
