Expectations gap and unhappiness

Expectations gap and unhappiness.

i said:

  1. Reality
  2. Others
  3. Past

The TED Talk calls these:

  1. Imagination
  2. Those around us
  3. Past

 

Note: i wonder if number two is the reason aging in a non-vibrant way is commonplace – we just expect that it’s unavoidable.

The Omni Hotel fitness center is way above average

At 43-degrees when i took this, it was not a good time to be swimming, however, the hot tub looked inviting.

 

The Omni Hotel fitness center is way above average.

A missed opportunity this trip.

But i only discovered this as i was leaving for the airport.

Role models can be tricky

the energy project
Referral from a client call yesterday.

 

Role models can be tricky.

Especially when they are media stars (take Steve Jobs for example).

All we see is the A-reel highlights.

Thinking this role model’s life is filled with the things we don’t have can be insidiously dangerous. The list of things that get in my way but not Steve’s way…

  • Not enough time.
  • Conflicting priorities.
  • Pressures from everywhere.
  • Not enough resources.
  • Few, if any, faults.
  • Plenty of courage and creativity.

Seriously?

“Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.”

healthy lunch
After a great workout, and before a client visit at Epcot, a power lunch.

 

A friend at the gym asked, “Did you bike today?”

“Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.”

i’ve told him this before, and don’t expect him to remember nor care.

“About an hour to the gym and an hour home.”

Ike stated (not in the form of a question), “So you can eat anything you want.”

Smiling, i spontaneously replied, “Yes, but i only eat the good stuff. Food is fuel.”

He never saw that coming.

Most don’t.

To exercise so you can splurge with unhealthy food choices and quantities?

Seriously?

Yeah, i used to think that way.

For decades.

15 x 12 x 10 ought to do it

UPS box
Sending my business clothes to the client so i can travel light.

 

Client wants me to adhere to their grooming guidelines at their special facility.

Being vibrantly healthy allowed me to resist the frustration i initially felt.

“If Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg were doing the keynote instead of me, would you tell them they couldn’t wear nice jeans and running shoes?”

i guessed a 15 x 12 x 10 would hold what i needed to send.

Perfect.

Shipped it yesterday.

Not only am i flying with only a small backpack, but the backpack is much smaller than the typical Swiss Gear small backpack.

Lightness brings a freedom and joy that extra weight never offers.
