Make no small plans, for they have no power to stir your soul.
The most contagious thing in the world is enthusiasm.
Know what the second most contagious thing in the world is?
The lack of enthusiasm.

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.
Most risks are out of necessity – we often forget this business reality – competition is fierce.
Taking risks is risky, so is playing it safe.
Here’s the analogy…
A person wants to significantly improve their health.
They visit several local gyms and personal trainer choices and make a decision on which will help them loose weight the fastest.
Their flawed goal is weight loss.
Wait, what?
Exactly.
Decades ago, i thought weight loss was the goal.
Now i’m convinced it’s not.
Permanent weight loss (like all wellness topics) is the result of deeper issues, the first of which is time management and prioritization. The absence of these left me lacking self-confidence and relying on excuses to feel better about my chronic personal neglect.
Until those issues are addressed and overcome, the weight will come back soon enough because the root causes, the foundational thinking and doing, were never modified to support a lifetime of healthy living.
You see, the path to weight loss isn’t in focusing on it.
The path to weight loss is simple:
Cardio-based regular exercise
Balanced nutrition
Adequate rest
Clear, concise, compelling wellness goal
Once this baseline is in place, add:
Strength training (anaerobic-based)
Flexibility
Core
Seven fundamentals.
That will bring about and sustain a healthy body weight.
A healthy body weight facilitates dramatically improved health metrics like BMI, blood pressure, resting heart rate, cholesterol, triglycerides, range of motion, increased strength – all of which dramatically impact our mental, spiritual, work and home life.

The “Magic” is our ability to keep the reality of the hard work invisible.
It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.
A recent Disney Talent Management article from July (no longer available on this site) illustrates many things which aren’t specifically called out, including:
Everything takes longer than hoped
Collaboration is key
Creativity is key
Vision is key
Transformation is key
Lots of keys to the Kingdom.
Focus and discipline.
Let me try to hammer home the point.
It’s as absurd as when non-athletic people say this when talking about athletic people, “They don’t need to worry about dieting.”
Having run consistently for the past 17 years, since turning 40, i can tell you that there isn’t a single day that i don’t:
Weigh myself
Consciously evaluate every food choice i make on a daily basis
Feel frustrated at how easily i gain weight
Secretly wish i didn’t have to work so hard just to maintain my weight
You had no idea right?
