Take a hike

5-second video: Out for a walk through town. Thinking 10 miles will be awesome today.
Covid test kit
First morning in eight i’m not taking DayQuil/NiQuil. Feeling better but not normal. Ruling out Covid before going to walk-in clinic.

Today’s goals are simple:

  1. Stop at walk-in clinic
  2. Stop at bank

The bank is roughly five miles from home.

Last minute decision to try Reams Road and pass Disney University. A few days ago the road was still closed from Hurricane Ian. In the event the road is still closed to vehicles, i’ll attempt to do it on foot.

Update: Reams Road is reopened. Life is uninterrupted.

You can’t or you won’t?

29-second video: Under 30-seconds, yet still longer than the goal. The good news, i continue to try even though ‘failure’ is a constant result.
Cinderella Castle and parade floats
Yesterday was a great day at Disney’s Magic Kingdom.

Can’t and won’t are not the same thing.

i’ve learned saying i can’t is driven by a shortage of something — a shortage of desire, commitment, discomfort, etc.

Have also learned saying i won’t is rarely said because no one wants to sound unmotivated, uncommitted, lazy.

In reality, we can think positively all the time.

It’s not that we can’t think positively all the time, it’s that we won’t think positively all the time.

The reasons for substituting i can’t in place of the honest answer i won’t, are a mile long. Everyone has their perfect mental narrative for not desiring it, not committing to it, and not managing the uncomfortable inconveniences.

Mental Vlog break

16-second video: Our hometown.

Vlogging for seven consecutive days was a nice experiment. Taking a break from it today.

Why?

To regroup, and, because the head-cold is messing with me.

A week’s worth of Vlogging

19-second video: Vlogging day 7. Biking to an 8:00 AM appointment.

Vlogging has the opportunity to replace, and/or enhance written text. Kinda obvious. However, what a blogger doesn’t know about Vlogging is what their bandwidth will be for:

  • Making mistakes
  • Looking silly
  • Developing bad habits early

Expect anything that’s new to be clunky and unpolished.

To streamline and polish (anything), practice.

Mental Vlog

57-second video: Real life in real time. One take.

i’ve always said, if your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.
