Resolve – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

Self-disruption

Heading to the gym at 6:15AM instead of 7:15AM. Need to make it to a WordPress meeting by 8:30AM.

Self-disruption.

What does this mean?

It means exactly what it says.

You disrupt yourself.

New Years resolutions attempt to jump-start the personal change we desire yet can’t seem to reach.

The almost predictable failure has a root cause no one is addressing. New Years resolutions overwhelmingly fail because we forget to disrupt our self-motivation.

We have to “world-class” convince ourselves that there is no turning back from our old thinking and doing.

We are talking Olympic Gold Medal motivational convincing.

The long way is the short cut.

Here we go again

Magic Kingdom entertainment guide — Upper left date stamp: Jan 1-5, 2019. Rode bike 10+ miles roundtrip yesterday (Jan 1), including a stop at the gym.

Here we go again.

What?

New Year’s Facebook posts.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

Working on week 11 of “i-quit-sugar”.

New Year’s Day (yesterday) is nothing more than a light-switch-effect moment for humans who haven’t figured out the key to personal transformation.

People think come January 1, they will magically have what it takes to begin a new habit.

i know this because of a lifetime of personal experience.

There ain’t no light-switch-effect you get to summon.

Here’s a hint (because i’ve recently revealed the #1 ingredient), motivation is #2.

Update (today, March 2): “i quit sugar” is now 19 weeks strong. Why? Guessing because it’s really important to me.

Lean doesn’t mean what it sounds like

Pastor David Uth (looks lean, eh?) last night at the 2016 Singing Trees performance.

Lean means…

simplicity
scalability
priority
freedom
joy

There were so many broken promises

Apple Watch health app — Yesterday morning’s run was 4.35 miles, and a half-mile walk cool down. Have been running 17 years now.

There used to be a time when i would make weight-loss and get healthy goals this time of year.

Ha.

Finally found the solution…

April Fool’s Day 1999, i began running one mailbox a day for a week, then added an additional mailbox distance (100 meters) with each passing week. It was one month before i jogged the equivalent of one lap around a track.

Desire is never in doubt, and it is never enough

New Year’s resolutions fail because of one insidiously overlooked reason. We think we can wave a magic wand and become the thing we want to become by flicking the proverbial switch.

One single day (January 1) on a calendar is the proverbial switch. New year, new me. Right?

It’s foolish to take stock in desire, without taking stock in commitment.

Desire isn’t the issue, commitment is.

Until we accept this brutal reality – that we aren’t truly committed – we will continue the self-fulfilling prophecy that New Year’s resolutions don’t work.

Note: If we are truly committed, we will not rest until we accomplish what we set out to accomplish. Commitment comes with the clause known as “lifetime guarantee”.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
