Approval not required
Published: Sun, 03/03/24
We originally met in 2007.
At a podcasting convention in Ontario, CA.
Two things struck me about Kris.
One, he was wildly knowledgeable about a communication platform that most had not even heard of.
Two, he had a 'one of one' look about him. Big (all over) with a full beard down to the middle of his chest.
Over the past year his Facebook posts revealed the journey he was on, culminating in this update from December:
"As of yesterday, I’m down from a XXXL shirt and size 46 pants to a S shirt and 32 pants. Almost been 11 months since I started the diet and roughly 9 months since I added exercise. In the beginning I could barely walk up and down our driveway two times in a row."
His latest update, now sans his signature beard and looking super fit, included this bit of wisdom:
"I will say that the people on the treadmills and bikes behind me at the gym make jokes or gesture at how I get after it on the machine doing cardio, but at the end of the day my goals won’t be met by their approval."
His goals will not be met by the approval of others.
And neither will yours or mine.
The year is young.
Stay focused.
