My final day of a 28-year run

My final day of a 28-year run concluded on this day (December 30) in 2001.

Backstory…

In 1974, barely 15, had my first taste of cheap wine one Summer night before going to the Spring Grove – Jefferson Carnival. Drank enough (which wasn’t much) to be seriously buzzed.

By 1976, i was drinking on weekends between football and track seasons, as well as all Summer long.

In 1977 i entered College and i would say this marked the beginning of a daily habit that would span 24 years – literally not missing a day.

Our attitude, negative or positive, is an addiction

addiction definition
Reminder.

 

Do you feed your positive attitude as much as you feed your stomach?

Is your positive attitude on a diet?

Malnourished?

Do you starve yourself?

Or would others say you are a (positive attitude) role-model for “healthy eating”.

Do you read personal development books and articles frequently?

Why, or, why not?

If it’s why not, how long has it been since you used to read developmental books?

And if you read professional development all the time, can you imagine where you’d still be if you had never been focused on learning and improving?

The most powerful wisdom proposal i’ve seen in years

radical Health wisdom
This is most powerful insight i’ve seen in years. Hat tip to Lori Campbell’s LinkedIn photo.

 

Great parents use common sense, paradox, and questions to develop their children.

If every person who considered themselves unhealthy was asked the question below, how do you think they’d respond?

What would happen to your health if you made a radical depart from your current lifestyle and made radically positive lifestyle changes, and stuck with it for the rest of your life?

Ten Years Ago Today, jeff noel Began A Monumental, Life Changing Resolution

He has no clue there was ever an issue. None.

jeff noel didn’t stop drinking on New Year’s Day like most people who start monumental promises to change their lives. After all, you can’t stop on December 31, New Year’s Eve, why that’s the world’s biggest party night ever! Agreed?

What takes guts is to have your last drinking day be December 30, and go through New Year’s Eve without a drink. Hell yeah that’s what I did. A decade ago.
