Success can be defined as living intentionally

Success can be defined as living intentionally. You know, thinking about what you want out of life and striving through life’s ups and downs to get it.

It also involves tremendous creativity in handling unplanned surprises, setbacks, and failures.

For instance, someone who devotes great time and attention to eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and getting adequate rest will fare much better than someone who lives it up and follows their pleasures.

Throughout life, both people will go through hell because it’s unavoidable.

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.

 

Changes in wellness, changes in attitude

Path to beach
End of run and now time for walk on beach.

 

Biking on Sanibel
Breakfast at Island Cow.

 

Changes in wellness, changes in attitude.

Totally, right?

Great wellness, great attitude.

Good wellness, good attitude.

Poor wellness, poor attitude.

Morning run before sunrise.

Bike ride to breakfast by 8am. Then bike back.

Then out to the beach for more writing.

Jimmy Buffett created something remarkable

Jimmy Buffett created something remarkable with his Margaritaville, Parrot Head brand.

Never heard a song of his that speaks to exercising and physical wellness.

i still love him though.

Why?

He speaks, to me anyway, to the parts of life that occupy space between running and gym visits.

Find a million ways to stay motivated.

PS. He is living proof the harder you work, the luckier you get. Duly noted.

What lights your fire to stay well?

Residential life near Walt Disney World
Left the house on bikes at 6:45am. Rode to local lake with large sidewalk, mostly shaded. Completed our Wednesday run which was cut short due to heat.

 

Residential life near Walt Disney World
After some morning chores, preparing a “cooking fire”. It was so hot, even at 10am, but this chore was in the shade and a nice breeze was blowing.

 

Residential life near Walt Disney World
Helicopters few back and forth (over our home) all day. By late afternoon, the two-year old’s body was recovered. So sad.

 

Residential life near Walt Disney World
On the same night, nature also claimed the life of one of the adolescent Sand Hill Cranes. Photo from our mailbox looking back toward the house.

 

Official Walt Disney World statement
Last night at 6:10pm on local Orlando ABC affiliate WFTV, channel 9.

 

What lights your fire to stay well?

Hope your answer was easy.

For me, it’s to be an example.

Because not being an example defaults me into being a warning.

Our thinking influences everything else we do

Disney leadership chain of excellence
It’s called the Disney chain of excellence. Crazy thing is…leadership drives the bottom line health.

 

Our thinking influences everything else we do.

Our mind influences our thinking, our thinking influences our choices, our choices determine whether or not we make time for regular exercise, adequate rest, and a balanced diet.

Exercise, rest, and nutrition are three (of seven) physical wellness basics.

Crazy thing is…our physical health has this massive impact on our emotional (spiritual) well being.
