A second huge milestone in 3 weeks.

It was April 2000 and a Disney Institute colleague and i were discussing how out of shape we were.

i said to Bob, “Hey, can you do one pushup?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, let’s do one pushup a day for a week and the second week do two pushups a day. And keep adding one more pushup for each week we do this.”

He was out after three weeks.

i thought i’d be lucky to last that long too.

Made it 104 weeks.

Also added turtle-pace jogging, to the neighbor’s mailbox.

Mailboxes are 100 meters apart.

Jog one “mailbox” a day for a week. Second week, two mailboxes. And so on.

So yeah, it’ll be 17 consecutive years of physical wellness.

Features and benefits, right?

Features and benefits, right?

There is a long history of following the proven formula.

What we often forget is that at one time, the current formula wasn’t the proven formula, something else was.

Few, if any, remember the old way.

Why?

Because the new way is so much better. No one would ever go back to the old way.

Who’s ready, right now, to trade in their iPhone 7 for a flip-phone?

Remember when the first flip phones were the best mobile phones the world had ever seen?

And so it goes.

The outliers already know there’s a better way. Their biggest challenge is having the guts to press on in spite of the acceptance of the current, and alluringly comfortable way of doing things.

Wishing it would have happened in the past?

First look as we drive east to Rising Sun.

 

Imagine your health being in direct relationship to your family’s health history. Now, look into the future at the you you are destined to become. What will you most likely have wished you had done, or started to do, when you are your current age (today)?
