Do we need to push harder and more creatively?

Disney World's Textile Services Hotel laundry plant
Arguably one of the most mission critical operations at Walt Disney World, the Resort Hotel laundry plant.

 

Do we need to push harder and more creatively?

Sent a local executive an email yesterday (Saturday) with a sole purpose – to gently “push” him to reconsider his postponement of a two-day leadership engagement.

Waiting until the new year “when current workload should subside” would be better, right?

Just like the current work load was unexpected, this is likely to keep happening and January could get pushed back to Spring. And so it goes.

By the way i respect what he did.

But here’s the underlying life truth, there’s rarely a better time than now.

What about Family members, people we love and cherish, should we push them or do we hope that after decades of physical neglect they’ll magically find the time?

What lights your fire to stay well?

Residential life near Walt Disney World
Left the house on bikes at 6:45am. Rode to local lake with large sidewalk, mostly shaded. Completed our Wednesday run which was cut short due to heat.

 

Residential life near Walt Disney World
After some morning chores, preparing a “cooking fire”. It was so hot, even at 10am, but this chore was in the shade and a nice breeze was blowing.

 

Residential life near Walt Disney World
Helicopters few back and forth (over our home) all day. By late afternoon, the two-year old’s body was recovered. So sad.

On the same night, nature also claimed the life of one of the adolescent Sand Hill Cranes. Photo from our mailbox looking back toward the house.

What lights your fire to stay well?

Hope your answer was easy.

For me, it’s to be an example.

Because not being an example defaults me into being a warning.

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

Who finds it difficult to envision themselves as a 16-year old, active, enthused, hopeful?

Who finds it difficult in making that fantasy a reality?

These three may be the next generation motivators

Florida Sand Hill Cranes
They were coming in and i was running out.

 

Florida Sand Hill Cranes
Yesterday in the neighborhood.

 

Farm animals near Disney University
It’s rare to see them all in this location.

 

Donkeys near Disney University
Near Disney University, about halfway through an easy five-miler.

 

These three may be the next generation motivators:

  1. Shot  Put
  2. Discus
  3. Javelin

Running is not part of the formula for these events.

Yesterday’s slow and short five-miler had the under-pinnings of a nagging right calf issue that may make it impractical to focus on running competitively this year.
