Taking flight

17-second video: A three-hour delay is a blessing compared to a canceled flight and a night in an airport.

Give them roots and give them wings. This is every committed teacher’s vision.

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?

  1. Top 3 priorities activity Direct report/Leader
  2. Do you believe in work life balance?
  3. What’s your before and after work routine?
  4. What are your personal priorities?
  5. 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.

3 game changing questions

What’s your health vision? Why is it important to you? What are you willing to do to get there?

Can you do 10-20 push-ups?

Apple Watch
Yesterday, biked a 20-miler. Stopped midway to visit Magic Kingdom. Also walked 4-5 miles.

Can you do 10-20 push-ups?

How about pull ups, how many?

What about walking briskly, how many miles without stopping?

Knees locked, how close to the ground do your finger tips get?

(Knees locked, can you place your hands palm-down, flat on the ground? Yes.)

If your daily food intake where public record, do you feel like you eat with integrity?

If your sleep habits were public record, would you feel satisfied with what you and others see?

Hanging from a tree limb or other parallel bar, with knees locked and legs parallel with the ground, how long can you hold you feet out in front of you? If this was a viral video of you attempting this, how would you feel?

In none of these questions did weight come up. Not talking about weight. Weigh whatever you want…

But scoring poor to just ok in strength, stamina, core, flexibility, nutrition, rest and motivation – is it because you don’t want to be physically vibrant or because you don’t think you can?

Can’t and won’t are not the same.

It’s your life, do the reps, keep your fire burning.

It’s your biggest responsibility – self care.

Be an example, not a warning.

What’s it like to…

We watched this, and the nine overtimes, yesterday before driving to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It felt historic, and in hindsight, it was.

What’s it like…

What’s it like to…

What’s it like to start your own business?

What’s it like to have a positive attitude right now?

What’s it like to have a positive attitude every single day?

What’s it like to feel unhealthy?

What’s it like to feel vibrantly healthy?

What’s it like to have so debilitating foot pain even jogging a 12-minute mile pace.

What’s it like to stop going to the gym?

What’s it like to be a senior Olympian?

What’s it like to live with an invisible disability?
