Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
(photo: Went from wanting to quit to running for an hour. Crazy. Transformational. Again.)
Wanted to begin the last run by walking a half mile first. But mustered a slow jog from the end of the driveway.
Really wasn’t feeling it.
At all.
And somewhere – about 30 minutes in – it started getting good.
Effortless.
Enjoyable.
Let’s-keep-going good.
(motivation is fuel)
Find a million ways.

Gets old doesn’t it?
This continuous focus on excellence.
Without some form of external recognition it’s challenging to find meaning in doing it invisibly.
This applies to most everything in life, not just physical wellness.

Running is a gift.
Motivation is a gift.
Batteries not included.

Applying Disney creativity and innovation to running since 1999. What does that mean?
It means the more years you run, the more temptations you face to quit because of boredom, injuries, time, excuses, etc.
Disney’s creativity and innovation principles are world famous, but not for the reasons outsiders believe.
Walt became famous for creativity because he was constantly battling stiff competition, harsh economic conditions, and a distracted public that had better things to do with their discretionary income.
Disney’s goal is to not only survive as a business, but to thrive. And in fact, to become the most admired Company in the world.
The admirable goal at Mid Life Celebration is to become an example and not a warning.

It’s all about the why, not the what.
The photo caption is hinting at one thing and one thing only. We must find a million ways to stay motivated.
Period.
What we do and how we do it is not nearly as critical to simply making sure we consistently do something. For our entire life.
