Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 130
Title: Outstanding Feats Accomplished in Under a
Year - You Too Can
There are days when I feel
incredibly productive, and others when I do not even get off the couch.
Can you relate?
On those couch days, I
enjoy marveling at the accomplishments of others.
Imagine what you could
achieve by stringing together a few of those productive days…or even 365 of
them!
Here are a few incredible,
inspiring, productive things your fellow humans have done in a year.
Let the motivation begin!
1. Stroll the Continent
There are a number of
people who have either run or walked across the United States in less than a
year's time.
Many embark on such an
adventure to raise awareness of certain medical or social causes.
Take Louis Michael
Figueroa, for example. He was only 16 when he ran from New Brunswick, NJ to San
Francisco, CA as a promise to a friend who was dying of bone cancer.
Figueroa became the
youngest person to make the trek — in just 60 days.
It makes that
recommended 10,000 steps a dayseem like not such a big deal. (See

2. Sail the World
Here's another distance
feat: Francis Joyon sailed around the world solo in 57 days, 13 hours,
34 minutes, and six seconds back in 2008.
To put that in
perspective, he made that wicked fast time journeying nearly 21,600 nautical
miles. In less than two months.
Alone at sea.
Whoa.
3. Pay Off Debt
I am majorly inspired by
the story of Jackie (The Paleo Mama) and her husband. The duo were able to
pay off more than $27,000 in debt over the course of just six months using the
Ramsey Method and some smart planning.
Along with taking a hard
look at their budget and bills, the family made some big modifications to their
lifestyle as a whole, including selling one of their cars, buying most things
second hand, canceling cable and expensive smart phones, and using a cash
system for most purchases.
4. Raise Millions
We've all heard of
crowdsourced fundraising campaigns, and some are certainly more successful than
others.
Take the GoFundMe campaign
for Eliza O'Neill, a beautiful four-year-old girl with a
degenerative brain disease called Sanfilippo syndrome.
The amazing story, as told
by photographer/videographer Benjamin Von Wong, raised more than $2 million in
less than a year.
This money will all go
toward a clinical trial to find a cure.
5. Plant a Forest
In September 2010, a
Pakistani soldier named Muhammed Yousuf Jamil planted 20,101 trees in just 18 hours and 40
minutes.
As you can imagine, this
accomplishment set a new world record in the Guinness book.
For those of you curious
about the math, that's a whopping 18 trees per minute.
The previous record? An
impressive 15,170 trees, held by Canadian Ken Chaplin back in 2001.
6. Lose All Fear
I first heard the term
"rejection therapy" a few months ago on Invisibilia, but concept has stuck with me.
Jia Jiang claims
he completely broke through his fears of rejection through requesting crazy
things from strangers for 100 days straight — so, less than a year.
He is now featured on
everything from Ted Talks to The Huffington Post to Forbes for this unusual,
effective method of self-rehabilitation.
7. Read Books
Many of us set some
reading goals for the new year, but I've never heard one quite like Nina
Sankovitch's.
She read a book per day for an entire year after her
oldest sister died of cancer in 2005.
That's 365 books by 365
different authors in 365 days. Sankovitch chronicled this chapter in her life
by writing a memoir called "Tolstoy and the Purple Chair."
