Help Change The World With Your Vote! Read to the End to see How this Impacts The Planet!
Right now I have a lot of Emotions Running through me.
Which is Ironic because yesterday was Global Running Day!
It was also World Environment Day, which had me thinking a lot about Impact...
This year's World Environment Day had a slogan for the year.
Our land. Our Future. We Are #GenerationRestoration
Our Future is tied to our Land, and to Us taking Restorative and Regenerative Efforts.
Looking at the Future, it will take Significant Efforts to make the Positive Change that is Needed -
BUT
I also know for a Fact that "Significant" Efforts Always Come From Small Efforts.
The Little Things We Do, Every Day, Add Up.
However, what "Appears" to be Addition, actually Becomes Exponential.
Whether it is Regenerating Yourself, or the World, this is how Life Works.
How do I Know that?
I Experienced a Tiny Taste of it Yesterday.
See, as a Part of Global Running Day, I decided I would do a 5k at my Full Current Capabilities.
To give you Context, my History with Running has been Extensive.
I first began running in Middle School doing Track.
When I got to High School, I ended up doing Cross Country.
In my Sophmore Year of Running, I was told that I had Osgood-Schlatter "Disease".
If you don't know what that is, it sounds much scarier than it is in Reality.
It is an overuse condition or injury of the knee that ends up becoming a painful bump and swelling on the shinbone below the knee.
That bump on the knee never ends up going away - to this day I still have it.
However, I was undeterred... or maybe just extremely Stubborn.
So I continued my Cross Country Career, and eventually I became a Varsity Runner.
At my height, I could run Sub-6 Minute Miles Consistently.
But after High School, I decided to Focus on NCAA D3 Lacrosse.
Really, I've never gotten back to my Running Peak in High School.
Then, a few years ago, I began training for Obstacle Course Racing because I fell in love with them.
I did do "some" Running Training, but I put most of my Effort into Strength Training as that was my Weakness.
Overall, I was Improving...
Until...
October 23rd, 2022.
I decided to do my Second Spartan Ultra, an Obstacle Course Race consisting of a 50k+ Run (or 31+ Miles) with 60+ Obstacles.
It was a rough race for me where I ended up injuring both my Shoulder and my Knee.
I Did Finish, but it was Ugly.
Since then, I have been taking a lot of time to Restore my Body.
A lot of Little Efforts.
A lot of Facing My Ego.
A lot of Forcing Myself to Accept Recovery.
Really, that has been a large part of my Fitness Since.
Then, yesterday came.
I decided, let's go All Out for a 5k.
Let's see how far the Recovery has Come.
If I Feel Hurt, I Can Always Slow Down.
I took off...
First Mile - 6:58
I couldn't believe it.
I hadn't run that fast since my Junior Year of High School Varsity Cross Country over a Decade Ago.
I can't see how my Training has led to This...
Surely I was about to Fall Off...
Second Mile - 7:25
No way...
That isn't possible...
I was expecting 9+ Minute Miles...
Surely I'm about to Crash...
Third Mile - 7:44
5k (3.1 Miles) Finish - 22:54
How did I do that?
That was the question that kept going through my head.
Could I not only have Recovered Fully, without "Any" Pain?
But also Improve "More", to the Same Level as I was in High School?
Is that Possible?
Then I thought about it.
Fundamentals.
When you make Small Efforts, Consistently, they have Gigantic Impacts.
I have been locked into the Fundamentals as a part of my Recovery Plan.
Form, Correct Foot Placement, Strengthening the Right Muscles, and Proper Landing Mechanics.
All part of my Recovery and Regenerative Efforts for my Body.
I looked at my VO2 Max (A Measure of Physical Health).
54 According to My Garmin, Estimated Using The Cooper Institute Measurements.
That puts me at a "Superior" Rating, Top 5% for my Age (30) and Gender (Male), with a Fitness Age of 23.5.
Fundamentals.
Training my Breathing to Become More Efficient, Nutrition to Improve My Energy Creation and Usage, Reducing Stressors to Improve Recovery, and Developing My Maximum Aerobic Function.
All part of my Recovery and Regenerative Efforts for my Body.
Small Efforts, when Combined, Create Exponential Results.
This brought me back to both the Mr. Health and Fitness 2024 Competition, as well as Generation Restoration.
I have talked about my Plans if I win the Mr. Health and Fitness 2024 Competition, and how I will use all of the Prize to do a Minimum of:
-
10,000 m2 of Habitats Protected for Critically Endangered Species
-
56,000 Plastic Bottles Removed from Our Oceans
-
500,000 m2 of Coral Reef Restoration
-
1,000,000 Miles of Car Emissions Removed
All to Show that when We Work Together, We "Can" Change The World.
I then Further Declared that Win or Lose, I will Match All Hero Votes (Optional Paid Votes) in a Donation to the B+ Foundation Helping Children Facing Cancer.
To me, this is Important both because Children "Are" Our Future, and because my Friend and Brother Scott passed from Inoperable Brain Cancer.
So far, there have been $300 of Hero Votes Made (Thank you Dina, Richard, Tracie, Israel, Dario, Tina, Patty, Nicole, and Rebecca - You are all my Heroes!)
This means that I will Match $300 to the B+ Foundation.
But What If We Could Do More?
What If We Could Amplify the Radical Generosity?
Plus, what if this Amplification "Also" Benefitted the Planet?
We could Truly Become Generation Restoration!
So, I'm going to Add 2 More Things to my Commitments for an "Amplified Radical Generosity Guarantee".
I realized that not everyone can do Hero Votes at this moment, so I wanted to give a Benefit to Anyone who helps with the Mission to Change The World.
All you have to do is Share the Message (Articles and/or the Vote Page) and either Tag Me on Social Media or Email Me (Cody@TheLeadership.Guide) if you do it through Different Means, such as writing an Article.
Every time you Share, I will create a Special, 1-Time Use Coupon Code to Change The World Fitness with NO Expiration Date.
This Helps the Planet because "Every" Product is either made from Recycled Materials or is Eco-Conscious, "Plus" a Portion of All Sales goes toward Regenerative Projects.
The Coupon will reduce the Company's Profit, but Not the Amount Given To the Regenerative Projects.
Plus, we are Preparing MORE Product Launches in the Near Future, so you can Save that Coupon for New Releases!
OR, If you want, you can Give the Coupon to Others.
It is 1-Time Use, but You can choose to Give to Another.
Science has shown that when we Give to Others, it Improves Our Lives "More" than Who We Give To.
Plus - I will give you a Coupon for "Every" Time You Share until I either Win or Lose the Competition.
If you Made 100 Posts, I would give you 100 Coupons to do with as you would like.
I am Not going to Limit the amount of Impact You would like to make.
Then, for my Second Amplified Radical Generosity Guarantee, from this point forward, I am going to do "Another" Match for All Hero Votes toward Regenerative Projects.
This means that if you gave $1 to a Hero Vote, I would "Also" Give $1 to the B+ Foundation and "Another" $1 to a Regenerative Project.
This means Your Impact will be Tripled!
To me, This is what it Means to be Generation Restoration.
All of Us, Working Together, Taking Small Actions, and Creating Exponential Results!
Then, if We Win, we Significantly Multiply our Impact!
As it has been said, All Flourishing Is Mutual.
If we are going to Change The World, We Must All Flourish Together.
At the End of the Day, this is Not About "Winning" a Contest.
This is about Proving that when We work Together, We Can Improve The World!
This is about Looking at What is within "Our" Power and Using It To Multiply Success to Improve The Future.
