Kodak Ignored the Digital Camera - And It Cost Them Everything

How Staying Stuck in Old Habits Keeps You in Pain and What to Do Instead

Let’s rewind to the late 1970s. A bright engineer at Kodak named Steve Sasson invented something truly wild… the digital camera.

He showed the bigwigs. They blinked. Frowned. Shrugged.

Then they shelved it.

Why? Because Kodak made their billions selling film. They couldn’t imagine a future without it.

So instead of evolving, they clung to the old model.

And the rest? You know what happened.
Kodak, a household name, went from king of the hill to a cautionary tale.

They saw the future... and ran the other way.

Now, let’s bring it closer to home.
You ever hear someone say:

“I’ll just take another pill.”
“I’m too old to change now.”
“My knees are shot, it’s just part of aging.”
“I’ve always eaten this way. I’m fine.”

That’s Kodak talk.

Clinging to the old ways while the future knocks.

And it’s not just knocking anymore, it’s kicking the door in.

Health isn’t about doing what we’ve always done.
It’s about choosing what actually works.

Your body doesn’t want more medication.

It wants movement.
It wants real food.
It wants to breathe deep and sleep well and stretch just enough to stay limber, pain-free, and strong.

And your life?
It doesn’t want to shrink.
It wants to expand.

But you can’t do that if you're clinging to the old film canister.

Change feels risky, until staying the same becomes the real risk.

So...

Don’t be Kodak.
Be curious. Be bold. Be the person who says, “What if this is the thing that changes everything?”

Today, try one new thing.

A walk. A stretch. A meat-based meal. A little sunlight on your face.
One good habit that your future self will thank you for.

📸 The digital camera didn’t kill Kodak.
Their fear of change did.

Let’s not make the same mistake when it comes to our health and happiness!
