It’s all about “Balance”
Ponder for Today 🤔
Balance between health, wealth, lifestyle, mindfulness and community.
We believe “Goals Kept = Goals Met”
We also believe progress is a practice, not a destination
By measuring small gains consistently, you create meaningful momentum across every area of life, with “balance” and purpose, and outcomes (misogi’s) (😇 Inspired by my family accomplishing bold ambitious misogi goals)
What is a “misogi”?
* Misogi: modern, self-imposed test of extreme difficulty, inspired by yourself, where you choose one (or more) annual events so challenging it has a 50/50 chance of failure, forcing personal growth by confronting fears, expanding limits, and building resilience for the rest of the year.
This past weekend I tackled (and conquered) my first misogi of 2026′
– Running a sub 2 hour half marathon, something I neglected for more than a decade…
Currently, contemplating another marathon in just over a month, this time double the distance, running a sub 4 hour trail marathon milestone
Doing all these training challenges to prepare for four more ’26 misogi’s:
* a 50 mile marathon run in July,
* a 250 bike ride in May,
* a sub 6 hour half ironman distance in October, and lastly;
* a sub 4 hour road marathon in December
Just like the “business mindset” as it is in sport, taking on tough “misogi” challenges, whether in the board room, or out in nature, exercising flexibility, strength and tenacity takes some serious discipline, humility and a burning passion to thrive
All these goals have to be in “Balance” with your health, lifestyle, mindfulness, and community outreach…
Setting “self goals” in business, sport and life takes strength…
* sticking to these goals takes tenacity, and
* sitting in the humility of accomplishment shows
* a level of growth most humans overlook
It ‘s okay to say, I quit…
* It’s not okay to say I quit, and
* Never being inspired to tackle the challenge again
* To overcome that, one has to repeatedly prove tenacity and endurance, by humbly tackling it again and again, until you succeed
Inspiration, humility and passion come from “overcoming difficult things” and “staying the course”
* Its the only way you train your mind, body and disciplines, by
* Pushing your mind, body and attitude to solve problems
* This is a mindset, which all can conquer, it’s not just for business leaders, nor is it just for elite athletes
Never sacrifice your dreams, be they milestones, misogi’s or life passions
Its 10AM, do you know where your “misogi” is?
