Aim for the vibrant 70-year old version of yourself.

Why wouldn’t anyone?
Remember, the long way is the short cut.

Can you see you at 70?

Learn, grow, teach, physically
You are the CEO of You, Inc.

Physical vibrancy requires a pro-level growth mindset which insists you have the highest well-being expectations for yourself. You are committed to only seeing possibility and opportunity.
Movement is fuel, food is fuel, and rest is fuel.
So is motivation.
Achievable goals have no power to stir the human soul.

Medical provider thesis
When it comes to physical vibrancy, no one my age (or perhaps any age) cares more, thinks deeper, works harder or reaches higher.
dad
Two days ago i wondered if it was possible to summarize to any/every medical professional i encounter, my physical health “differences” compared to how nearly every “senior” adult approaches their health.
Context for why this is critical for my health…
Want to mitigate being placed in a low results, low action, low motivation category. You know, being profiled as an old person who just needs to accept the aging process.
Bottomline, i do not fit, and refuse to fit the senior mold.
i’ve lived unintentionally and intentionally over 60+ years. An intentional “highest” bar is an easy choice for me. Hope it is for you too, if you so desire.

i will never
i will never ask anyone something i haven’t already asked myself.

Q. How focused are you on your personal vibrancy excellence?
A. None of your business. (My estimated human response, whether stated or thought).
Insight: i know no one who thinks deeper, reaches higher, works harder, or cares more about personal vibrancy. i may have friends who do but it isn’t obvious. If it was i would ask their advice on all five big choices. It would be so amazing to have a fellow heretic in “life’s laboratory”.
Rising my life’s five bars to the highest level lights my fire. Personal vibrancy is the excellent interconnection between all five of life’s big choices.
Note: Had i never become a teacher (age 40) i am certain none of this high bar stuff would have reached a lifelong heretical level.
Bonus note: If there was a fellow vibrancy heretic in my life, it could potentially be a curse as much as it seems like it would be a blessing. It’s not lost on me that i might hate what i see in the other. Finally, if i wasn’t a teacher (to myself and family) i am certain i would never talk about it let alone write and publish about it.
Humility is critical in my life.
So is teaching.
Teaching is a sacred privilege and obligation.
And .thinking .differently is a superpower.
So proclaiming what i think and do (and don’t do) is a sacred privilege and obligation.

Taking flight
Give them roots and give them wings. This is every committed teacher’s vision.
dad
A question i didn’t ask but just thought of now while we taxi to the Atlanta runway is:
You say your CEO job is to control the speed of the organization. Do you mean the speed with which traditional checklists are completed, or do you mean the speed at which your organization innovates?
- Top 3 priorities activity Direct report/Leader
- Do you believe in work life balance?
- What’s your before and after work routine?
- What are your personal priorities?
- Who was your best leader and why?
Note: This post’s title (Take flight) is inspired by today’s one-week post cataract surgery followup exam. Hoping to ‘take flight’ with my eye’s healing progress.
