Recently I took a survey geared towards estimated how long you will live. Apparently, people specialize in this line of research. One of the multiple choice questions really seemed significant: How many new relationships have you made this year that you interact with at least once a week? a.) zero, b.) 1 - 2, c.) 3 - 6 or d.) 7 or more. I chose d.) since I've been here at MeYou Health for a bit over 6 months now. I'm back to working every day for the same company, complete with a daily commute by foot, train and subway. Designing web products and iPhone apps that foster fun and healthy behavior change continues to be a dream come true. I'm extremely fortunate.
There is something about making many new relationships at the same time that fosters so much wonderful growth, strengthening and understanding .. of the amazing people around you, of the dear people that are already in your life (that we tend to take for granted!) and most surprising, of yourself. You really understand who you are (and what you are capable of) when you start working deeply with a whole new crew of talented and passionate people. I've also found that interacting with people every day in our Daily Challenge product has been a powerful and enjoyable way to maintain my well-being. Again, the people that I interact with make all the difference.
Oh and that age survey?
It said I should live to 100!
But that is mostly because my grandfather lived to his 90s. Apparently, I've hit the genetic jackpot, since having relatives live to near 100 is the best signifier that you could do the same.
