Motivation is like a fire

7-second video: Nothing but ash. Fire has been out for hours.

Motivation is like a fire. You have to continuously add fuel or it will go out.

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.

Heading to Walt Disney World soon

17-second video: Shot from iPhone. Stabilization doing it’s job.

Being busy mentally growing is also being busy mentally dying. Growth mindset or closed mindset.

i am not afraid to fail

26-second video: Something about vlogging has my attention. Perhaps it’s the challenge of communicating in one-take, without rehearsal or plan, as effectively as writing. There’s even a glimpse of vlogging being better than the written word. Time will tell. Most importantly, i am not afraid to fail.

i wanted to write you a shorter blog post but didn’t have time.
