From today 5 little habits post: Good news: "People who have a strong sense of purpose and meaning in their lives have a markedly lower risk of death than those who don't." Is this statement accurate (possibly only at 1:00 am in the morning!)
Thank you Bill for your continued hard work and discipline. I know that I have better morning when your work and that of those on your team is part of it. :)
Great read! These five habits go right along with the spirit of setting goals for the new year and putting things into perspective. The order of importance of each habit helps prioritize time and effort of doing them.
Having spent my whole career as either an entrepreneur or as THE admin and accounting “& everything else” person supporting a small business owner this article really resonates. Pick three and eliminate stress! Hahaha….. right there with you, Bill!
Also , this quote kills me (pun intended) and made me start laughing all over again:
"People who have a strong sense of purpose and meaning in their lives have a markedly lower risk of death than those who don't."
The part about purpose and meaning making life good? - yessir agree fully. But “lower risk of death”? Hahaha! See the other day’s newsletter referencing Steve Job’s graduation speech. We share a 100% probability of death, regardless of how meaningful our lives are …there is no getting out of this alive. I love to make the most of it while I’m here though- life gets a “highly recommend” from me! As do this week’s newsletters! Nice to have you back from low power mode, Bill!
All terrific ideas Bill. As much some of these take time away from work, living a little healthier each day and living longer (not just living longer in years, but being healthier while you do it!) I’d worth it. No one ever died and had his friends say, “wow, he really worked hard” as a compliment.
While these suggestions are probably pretty great, at age 76 I’m really not too worried about doing much more than staring at my exercise bike and walking the dog 3 times around the block but only if the wind isn’t trying to take my head off.
Anyway, if I live too long I may outlive my money which would disappoint Amazon immensely. Guess my timing had better be pretty precise for the two events, money and death, to happen around the same time.
Bill, is it a good assumption that fitness includes physical, mental and spiritual? I believe we tend to focus on our physical and forget about our whole being. Your thoughts are appreciated as well as my fellow readers. Dola
Running, even 5 to 10 min/day and at slow speeds <6 miles/h, is associated with markedly reduced risks of death from all causes and cardiovascular disease.

If your family are your friends and your friends are your family and your work is your fitness that will help condense things a bit..
Fun is the fountain.
Carry on!
Thank you!

Well dang. If you had only seen it sooner I could’ve been the coach of the Belgian football team Bill!
Ted Lasso has nothing on me! 😊

Won’t life be exciting now??
work- fitness- sleep
the rest will "work" itself out
