How many years is your active streak?

Lane 8, in the finals, at the world championships. You can come in dead last and still be the 8th fastest in the world.

How many years have you been consistently exercising, eating well and resting well? 

It’s been 22 for me.

You ain’t much fun, bro

Most of the time I don’t have much fun. The rest of the time I don’t have any fun at all.

People think i love to run. If you’re lucky, half your life exercise will feel like a get-to-do and the other half will feel like a have-to-do. Aim for a minimum of 51% get to and 49% have to.

There have been months, even years, where exercise and running was 95% pure joy. And there were months, even years, where it was a slog. Embrace with gratitude that you have a body that works.

Do you play to the buzzer?

Played the sunset until the buzzer. When the pinks, oranges, and reds turned to grey, the mosquitoes were the buzzer.

Do you play to the buzzer?

The only time it makes sense to play to the buzzer is when the game is close.

But what about when the opposing team has an insurmountable lead?

Then what?

And why?

Warren Buffett wellness

Finished Bob’s Masterclass last night. Was it worth $90? For me, yes. Why? It reinforced what i already know about him.

Bob Iger used to sit on the board of ABC Capital Cities with Warren Buffett.

Bob tells the story that Warren said when you hire someone you should hire for three things:

  1. brains
  2. energy
  3. integrity

If the candidate has two out of three but lacks integrity, the first two will kill you.

Same with wellness, except the opposite.

If you lack integrity for physical vibrancy, no amount of brains nor energy will convince you to become physically vibrant.

Fitness and wellbeing is priceless

Disney motivational speaker
Common sense, and often too little in common practice.

The long way is the shortcut.

When i recommitted to not only getting back into a high level of physical well-being in 1999 at age 40, i also recommitted to staying well for the rest of my life.

Twenty years later, it is easy to see how much commitment was necessary and how the results stand like a beacon for being dedicated to honoring the temple that houses everything keeping you alive.
