Some favorite questions:

To the people you love, do you consider yourself an example or a warning?

If not now, when? If not ever, why?

Can you see you at 70?

Mountains or home, i must move like i mean it, fuel like i mean it, and rest like i mean it.

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

dad

Why wouldn’t anyone?

Remember, the long way is the short cut.

Avocado bud
Used this photo yesterday and after seeing it at least a dozen times i finally noticed what i never saw before. Plain as day the avocado bud’s shadow is on a leaf to it’s left. Plain as day. We are not programmed to focus on shadows. Change what you see and what you see changes.

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

Small avocado bud
Working diligently to make most snacks superfoods. This is on top of making meals that center around superfoods. Photo: Our first avocado bud. We planted the small tree a year ago.

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.

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.
