Better to set and fail than not set and fail

Hyatt Grand Hotel Bogota — Inside the Hyatt.

“Setting challenges is part of me, it’s part of my DNA,” Dave McGillivray says. “I can be okay with missing my goals. To me that’s not a failure. But not setting goals, that does seem like more of a failure.”

The article is about a 64-year old guy who’s recently had triple bypass heart surgery.

Reread his quote three sentences above.

Then think about your own life.

The invisible gap between all accomplishment

sleep app — Last night the goal was 8 hours, like it is every night.

The invisible gap between all accomplishment.

i see it in my own life, professionally and personally.

You see it in yours too.

What?

Ok, you’re right, you can’t see it.

Sorry.

My bad.

It’s simply this…

The gap is the difference between what we are willing to do to get the things we say we want.

If you aren’t willing, it ain’t ever gonna happen.

Do the math.

Go forward, determined and enthusiastic.

Or turn around and go home, turn on your device of choice, and medicate your wounds.

The other option is to lower the bar for your life’s dreams.

It’s a simple concept.

Not easy.

But certainly simple.

i wish you amazing success wherever you set your bar.

How long does a typical American career last?

Disney Institute top speakers — From our Disney Institute Participant Guide book. Imagine a person entrusted to teach eager students how to reach for the stars. Imagine if the instructors didn’t actually practice what they preached. i couldn’t live with this thought. Years ago i committed to only preaching what i practice.

How long does a typical American career last?

Ten, 20, 30, 40+ years?

How long does a typical American invest in staying physically active?

i’m reminded that it took me 40 years before i committed to “never turning away” from getting and staying physically active.

Think lifetime gym class where you’re the teacher and the student.

And here we are, roughly 100 days from my 59th birthday.

At 58, i’ve reached a level of physical vibrancy i never knew was possible, let alone possible for a “senior citizen”.

And to think, there are people my age who haven’t yet started.

Go.
