Vibrancy comes down to one of two lifelong habits

Windermere Runners Club 2016
Between Middle & High School, roughly 700 students. About 20 show up for Summer running.

 

Vibrancy comes down to one of two lifelong habits:

  1. Prioritizing our schedule.
  2. Scheduling our priorities.

This is true in our personal life as well as professionally.

The first habit happens by default, the second, by design.

Think about it.

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.

The distinct outcome in the difference between the habits we nurture or don’t nurture – the contrast between surviving the daily grind or thriving in spite of it.

How much time do we have?

The photo and today’s blog topic seem mismatched. Kinda like the way we begin our day – thinking about death or thinking about life. Check the deaths or check the births?

 

How much time do we have?

A 93-year old just placed the newspaper back on the pile and i asked, “So what’s new since yesterday?”

She said, “I just skimmed it, I only read the deaths.”

Wow.

What a profound moment.

Begs the question, “Why was that the priority?”

For me, is it finally carving out time to write those (seven) Disney books i said i would write?

i remember being grossly inadequate with this simple task

Orlando sunrise
Yesterday, like every other morning.

 

One simple way to celebrate midlife is to watch as many sunrises and sunsets as possible.

When i’m not traveling, i don’t miss a single sunrise.

Writing for two hours every morning has enabled this phenomenon.

In two short weeks, year seven comes to an end.

Insight: Impossible only is until it isn’t.

Habits are what we think and do without thinking.

 

Habits are our default mode. No thinking required. It’s built in.

Of course i take a photo of where i parked. i also always park in the last spot in the row.

So the “insurance policy” is that if i can’t find the photo, all i have to do is walk the back of the parking lot.
