I’m aiming to be 110 years old

I’m aiming to be 110 years old

Not just that.

But skiing with my great grand kids.

Or surfing 🏄🏻‍♀️ we’ll see what global warming has to say about that.

Not just that.

I aim to have the mental focus to write, think, coach, learn and play.

I’ve thought a lot about what’s required to achieve that and I believe the primary ingredients are

courage and truth.

And the compass 🧭 that guides the direction is freedom.

Let me explain.

Honestly, tell someone you plan to live to 110 and have fun doing it and that alone to quite triggering.

It takes courage to look at your current health, stress, actions and choices and tell the truth about where that’s taking you.

You have to truthfully answer the question,

Will this body last another 60-70 years given it’s current aliments, mobility, excess fat, muscle mass, strength?

Will this mind last another 60-70 years given it’s current stress, sleep, memory, clarity, reactivity?

And depending upon your answers you have to find the courage to make the necessary changes in amongst the complexity of your current lifestyle and relationships.

My compass as I mentioned is freedom,

Do I have the energy and clarity to live without the need for stimulants or and other habits?

Can I still move as I did when I was 10 or have I lost freedom of movement?

Do I still have the freedom to be fully myself in my relationships?

Do I have freedom of emotion, time, location, purpose, money?

Courage, truth and freedom are powerful guides for me.

What guides you and more importantly are you happy with where it’s taking you?
