One day it will, body

Life's 5 Big Choices - Mid Life Celebration
Life’s 5 Big Choices – BODY (upper right)

Repetition is the mother of all learning.

Mind, body, spirit, work, home…

One day it will.

What will?

One day will come.

And it reminds me of a Garth Brooks song…

If Tomorrow Never Comes.

Chapin, on this day, April 11, 2026, if tomorrow never comes, you absolutely need to know this…

i’ve dedicated my life, since you were born, to show you ‘True North’.

To me true north is personal vibrancy.

You’ll discover your own way.

Please remember that personal vibrancy is the connectedness of mind, body, spirit, work, and home.

Paperwork playoffs, body

Sanibel Island
Home away from home. And office away from office. Being able to work from anywhere is good. Photo: Sanibel Island, 2018. Not much paperwork at the beach. Overwhelmingly digital.

Have spent four decades of collecting and subsequent saving and storing three three-drawer file cabinets full of Disney paperwork.

A lifetime of hope-filled effort.

The consistent and thoughtful Disney paper-collecting is synonymous with a lifetime of regular exercise, adequate rest, and proper nutrition.

Serious, intentional, focused long-term effort creates unique genre assets.

In this case, world-class business correspondence, and, excellent physical vibrancy results.

The world-class Disney paper assets are under final scrutiny now, since commencing about 10 days ago.

Nearly two weeks of ‘final’ purging.

i’m calling it the playoffs.

For the past 10-ish days, have been working through metaphorical quarterfinals, semifinals, and now, today after i write today’s posts, start the finals.

Let’s make “SYDK” a category, body

Dear Son, the blog category ‘dear son’ is on all five blog websites.

What you probably don’t know is that everything i write could start with, “Dear Son,”.

Everything.

Small example…

Dear Son, you don’t remember me being unfit. What really happened though is after you were born i committed to getting and staying physically vibrant. The commitment’s ‘streak’ is closer to 30 years than 20.

And it was especially challenging in the moments and the years when i was tempted to pause, or worse, quit.

But…

Never paused.

Never quit.

From this was born, “Find a million ways to stay motivated.”

Shit you didn’t know, body

Our son laughing out loud, maybe 20 years ago. His face is what most adults look like when you tell them (in your 40’s, 50′, 60’s) that you’re training like an athlete.

Dear Son,

Shit you didn’t know…

How could you?

You were just a kid.

What you didn’t know is…

How being your dad inspired and guided everything i did (and why i did it)…

Like getting and staying healthy even with a new career (speaker), frequent travel, and a history of health peaks and valleys. Because when i started at Disney Institute at 40, it was the same year i received a health ‘wake-up call’.

You’ll never recall me being unfit. Why? Because i began a physical vibrancy journey that’s now 26 years old and counting.

Sell me on how, body

Photo of lane 8 at University track
Lane 8 (this blog’s URL) is about the paradox of the worst lane and a lifetime of fitness.
an internet quote about measurement
How do i measure vibrancy? With results.

Sell me on how you sit so much.

Sell me on how processed foods and sugar is a longterm asset.

Sell me on how regular movement is not feasible for you.

Sell me on how a lifetime of irregular sleep benefits you.

Sell me on how low you set your physical vibrancy standards and goals.
