Ride Forrest, ride

Balance — Riding through Hyatt Grand Cypress Golf Course yesterday at sunrise.

Ride Forrest, ride.

The classic scene (51 seconds) from Forrest Gump is here.

One week of no bicycling made yesterday morning’s 25-mile roundtrip ride to Gold’s Gym and back extra special.

Ride jeff, ride.

It’s the little things.

Today is not a good day to put your dreams on hold…

The long way is the short cut.

Here’s to you taking another step forward today.

Go for a walk today, it does a body (and mind, and spirit) good.

Easily a three-hour “pill”

Leadership insight — Be the kind of leader you’d want yourself to follow.

Take your medication consistently to gain maximum benefits.

What if our pill was time-consuming to take?

Are we only willing to take care of our health if it’s easy, say swallowing a pill?

A good portion of every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is spent running 8-12 miles, and later in the day, driving 40 minutes roundtrip for an 80-minute Golds Gym workout.

It ain’t the Magic that makes it work, it’s the hard work that makes it look easy.

Two miles is better than nothing

Best Disney Leadership Conference Speakers — “What is your strength?”

Two miles is better than nothing. It surely is. So yesterday at 5:30am, i took what i could get.

What we lack in distance, we make up by feeding our resolve to never quit.

Note: Speakers are generally the first to arrive and the last to leave. Long days (and early morning start times) are not conducive to exercise.

Desire is never in doubt, and it is never enough

New Year’s resolutions fail because of one insidiously overlooked reason. We think we can wave a magic wand and become the thing we want to become by flicking the proverbial switch.

One single day (January 1) on a calendar is the proverbial switch. New year, new me. Right?

It’s foolish to take stock in desire, without taking stock in commitment.

Desire isn’t the issue, commitment is.

Until we accept this brutal reality – that we aren’t truly committed – we will continue the self-fulfilling prophecy that New Year’s resolutions don’t work.

Note: If we are truly committed, we will not rest until we accomplish what we set out to accomplish. Commitment comes with the clause known as “lifetime guarantee”.
