Choose the Impossible Mission

I have been writing my book, the Vitality Zone, now every single day for two years. George Orwell called writing a book “a horrible exhausting struggle”.   I respectfully disagree. It has been one of the greatest challenges of my life to write this book but has also been pure joy.  While working on the book I discovered something about vitality.

I discovered vitality is a skill. It isn’t something your doctor or your government can give you. It is something you earn by working hard on identifying your purpose, sparking hope, thinking with time in mind, considering sleep a superpower, focusing on fitness, toning your toughness, cultivating closeness and serving people whenever possible. 

The Vitality Zone has led me to interview dozens of interesting people. I have been blessed to listen to their stories of struggle and vitality. I have focused my elite medical and research training on identifying meaningful, actionable ways to enhance one’s vitality. Writing the book also led me to teaching a course at Stanford called: Vitality Essentials: How to Lead Your Best Possible Life. After two years, I am closing in on a coherent rough draft of the book. 

I don’t know when it will be published but I do know I have spent my time well. Working on the Vitality Zone has been an intrinsically valuable exercise. My vitality has soared, as I have been writing and revising it. My goal now is to finish it in a form that will enhance the vitality of anyone that reads it. Two years ago, this was an impossible mission. Soon, I hope it will be reality.

What is your impossible mission? What is intrinsically valuable to you? What would you do if you dared greatly?  Please post below and share with your network.
