In 2010, I ran the Leadville 100, finishing in just under 25 hours (24:42:40.9 to be precise). This was a multi-year journey that started in 2006 when I decided to take up the challenge of finishing a 100-mile running race. Some might say that this goal was fairly misguided.

Last year, I started a new challenge: to select one new habit to form every quarter. I’ve found that it takes 90 days of concerted attention to form a new habit, and I have had pretty solid success with this practice.

Are you playing to win, or to “not lose”? That was part of a recent conversation with Jeff Kinsey (seems like we ALWAYS have fun, deep discussions – LOVE that about my relationship with Jeff!). There’s certainly a difference between going for it and playing defense. Sure, the outcomes may be the same, but the approach is WAY … Continued
Have you ever considered that you can never be “here” again? We are all, collectively and individually… hurtling through space. And we will never be “here” again.
