May the Force be strong with you

May the force (indomitable will) be with us for our entire life.

From LinkedIn last week.

 

Habits determine our destiny.

It’s that (profoundly) simple.

Bonus: Our determination creates our habits.

i think it’s obvious, but if it’s not, the “me” that beats (in the second photo) you is the devil-side of your conscience.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Look in your pantry

Everyone was unhurt.

 

Eating late and eating sugar-laden foods are symptoms of a lack of hope some deeper disharmony.

Look in your pantry.

What are the predominant food choices and quantities, particularly the snack-type items?

The decision for our food choices starts long before we open our pantry door.

Ever ask yourself, “Why do i pick these, and why so many of them?”

What does this say about my commitment to aging well?

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.

We broke a high temperature record for November 9. In 1911 the record high was recorded at 90.  Yesterday we hit 91.

The critical success factor for thriving is to stop making excuses about things no one can control. (Tweet that)

Like yesterday, the record high temperature.

Stay hydrated, run without the sun, and find a million creative ways to stay motivated.
