Had the guts but didn’t have the time

Top Disney Leadership Speaker — Yesterday’s date is in the upper right. i love when there is tangible proof of the facts.

Calling an audible. This blog is about our physical health, but i’m using this space today to continue a business story from yesterday.

Will i have the guts to use this example?

That’s what i asked yesterday. Yes, i was prepared to use it. But no, i didn’t.

Here’s why.

Time.

There wasn’t enough time.

Why?

Because something unpredictable happened, and since the client and i were clear on the vision (end goal), i flexed to take maximum advantage of the unplanned opportunity.

We stumbled upon something that really resonated with the client and it happened 75% of the way through our agenda. It was glorious. Not only because we discovered it, but because we agreed to sacrifice the remaining planned agenda to take advantage of the amazing, unplanned opportunity.

Note: i did not intentionally take the Apple Watch photo above. Somehow, it happened though, right as we had solidified unity on a tangible group goal – a clear, concise, and compelling roadmap for leadership alignment.

The goal of running

The goal of running is to see what we are humanly capable of.

And to use our body in a way that goes back to the origin of mankind.

Running is how we escaped danger.

Running is how we caught food.

Modern day running is how we found joy on the playground.

Remember?

Yesterday’s track workout:

2-mile slow jog warm up
5 x 400: 98, 95, 88, 91, 89 (recovery = 400/4min walk)
800 walk/8min walk between sets)
5 x 800: 4:00, 3:41, 3:33, 3:21, 3:11 (recovery = 400/4min walk)
2 mile cool down
1 hour core and strength workout at Golds

Felt some mild shine pain during 400’s and decided to slow the pace and increase the distance, hence the 800’s.

Intentionally not doing it on the weekends

(photo:Row 58 in Disney’s Animal Kingdom parking lot… not everyone lives to see 58. And of those who live that long, how many weekends in a row have they avoided exercise?)

Fourth weekend in a row intentionally not exercising. No running. No Gold’s Gym.

Doing nothing has never felt so amazing.

Insight: Our wellness plans ebb and flow. But only if we refuse to quit.

This is where determination becomes an invaluable asset

(photo: Local Orlando residents can enjoy a bike ride to Walt Disney World Resort – but most don’t)

What do we do when unexpected obstacles pile up one on top of the other?

Quit.

Generally.

This is where determination becomes an invaluable asset.

After a 10-day layoff, this morning will be the third day back at running – almost like starting over.

Who cares. Just keep moving.

The single biggest adversary for not having physical vibrancy

Teenager in Disney monorail — We are writing our future legacy today

The single biggest adversary for not having physical vibrancy?

What is the overarching key motivator for you to not only get healthy, but to stay healthy for a lifetime?

A quick, ready answer is what we are looking for, not a specific answer, simply one that rolls off the tip of our tongue and sounds completely believable and inspiring.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the single biggest adversary – stuttering with our answer.

MLC’s answer you ask?

To be an example, not a warning.
