How a joint new year’s resolution made two brothers better fathers, husbands, and leaders
“OK, our goal is quite simple. We promise each other to do at least one exercise activity every day. Doesn’t matter if you are sick, traveling, or tired. And to keep each other honest, we share one pic doing our activity every day.”
With the above text solidifying their commitment, brothers Stephen and Jim Gilliland embarked upon a journey of crazy workout challenges that increased in intensity as the year progressed: 10,000 push-ups each in March became 30,000 push-ups each by December. At the time, they were each searching for something more—more from their relationship as brothers and more from their middle-aged bodies. And as each month passed, they discovered the unexpected gift of what it means to live more fully as connected brothers, fathers, husbands, and successful leaders.
Join them in these minutes to discover how their 12-month journey led them to a deeper bond and to important lessons on the inner journey of life, including:
- Achieving “I will” commitments and audacious goals
- Asking for help and finding genuine connection
- Uncovering hidden emotional scars
- Recognizing limits and preparing to fail
- Embracing “should be fine” as a mantra against doubt
- Practicing empathy and reaching out in times of loss

While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember 20 years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children?

When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave - "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" - wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have... and you may find one day that you have less than you think").
