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.

Yesterday morning. Note the time on the laptop, 8:53am.
The opportunity to hear a 70-year old Headmaster speak is rare.
To miss this opportunity to hear Dr Tom Marcy speak would be sad.
Seniors in the center, on the floor. Eleventh through 8th grade seated in the bleachers.
i left halfway through the 90-minute assembly, accomplishing what i set out to do.
It’s easy to forget how challenging it is to deliver a speech that stirs the human soul. Yesterday was a great reminder.

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 way to become a better person is to not try to become someone else. Just become a better you than you used to be – on your mission to become a category of one.
Singing competitions reveal this with beautiful accuracy. Competitions like The Voice, American Idol, and the X-Factor are not looking for someone to sing a cover-song like the original artist. The judges, the record labels, and the audience (us), really want only one thing – a stunning, unique version of the cover that blows our mind.
A song that we would buy a second copy of because it’s so different (and remarkable) from the original.
Additionally, we trust that a singer who can do this is also a singer who will do it with their own songs.
Art.
Art that inspires because it’s different.

Yesterday, running (from home) to Magic Kingdom entrance.
Aim too high or aim too low, there are always going to be critics.
Each aim comes with an outcome.
Each outcome comes with an opportunity.
Recalibration.
The one critical factor that often gets forgotten is the target we set out to achieve in the first place.
Never lose sight of what motivated you in the first place.
