Aging is cool, body

personal vibrancy quote from Disney's Jeff Noel
Not only for being organized and fit, but for being emotionally peaceful, mentally optimistic, and feeling like an artist at work.
Huntsman Senior Games 2011
Let age be a number others worry about. This is from the Huntsman Senior Games in 2011. Utah. Chapin, not yet a teenager, accompanied me. i competed in the 800 & 1,500. Placed in top three in both 50-54 age-group races.

Is aging gracefully easy? It depends.

Aging.

Advantage or disadvantage?

Like every question, whether in a Disney Institute classroom, or simply in your own head…

It depends.

It ALWAYS depends.

Yes, i know i’m shouting.

And you also know i lower case every “i” that i type, since forever ago. Not sure of when it started but it’s probably 15-20 years ago.

Ownership determines motivation, body

Mickey Mouse note paper with handwritten note
This could easily morph to: “jeff, thank you for never giving up, even when it would be easier to quit. #motivation #ownership #nearing70

Motivation’s secret is ownership.

Therefore, the greater the ownership, the greater the motivation.

i’ve learned that what really counts is what i learn after i think i know it all.

Take my exercise habits.

Injury prevention used to be a rare thought.

Why?

i was strong, resilient, confident.

What i learned the hard way is the mind stays young, the body does not.

And as i approach 70, it gets even more unknown.

Cool.

Ps. Love learning. Always have. Love motivating myself too. Always have.

To each their own, body

To each their own.

Live and let live.

Live and learn.

Dear Son, our life equals our habits.

Live and let live, body

Biking on Sanibel Island
Biking back to the beach cottage pre-Covid-19. The beach cottage was destroyed September 28, 2022 by Hurricane Ian.

Live and let live.

Kinda like accepting.

People will live differently than you.

People will live healthier than you.

People will live less healthy than you.

People will like how you pursue physical vibrancy.

People will dislike how you pursue physical vibrancy.

Through it all, remember this mantra…

Live and let live.

Insight: This is what you want others to do for you as well.
