You Can Do It

There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 80-million blogs on the Internet, and growing daily.

There are 221-million results if you Google “Health Blogs”.

What are all these health-blog people trying to say? Please let me summarize for you:

Dream Big
Get There
Stay There

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

PS. Do your excuses make you stop or make you sick? Mine made me sick. Sick to think that I’m the only one responsible for my actions and I wasn’t doing anything about it, except making excuses.

Excuses be damned.

Merry Christmas from Lane 8

And on this day was born a child. In a manger, at the stable. No room at the Inn. And they called him Emmanuel.

Impossible?

Perhaps nothing is impossible. Perhaps impossible is nothing.

Lane 8 is a simple website and blog. Even the first Lane 8 business card was handmade, in five minutes. And 5,000 were printed and taken to Finland.

August, 2009, in Lahti, Finland, the Master’s Track & Field World Championships drew 5,300 athletes from 80 Countries, with the same Olympic spirit as the official Olympic Games.

Many of the Master’s athletes celebrate Christmas, and that little boy everyone calls Emmanuel.

Lane 8 is simply a humble beginning. Not at all unlike a child born in a stable.

People Like Being Unhealthy

People Like Being Unhealthy. In fact, you probably like being unhealthy. And odds are you know a lot of people who also like to be unhealthy.

Right?

Absolutely. Why? I have no idea. None.

But I have a hunch, but it’s only a hunch. Know what it is?

People must love it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so unhealthy. Seriously.

If it’s not true, then go ahead and convince me this is incorrect. Go ahead please.

Hey, the whole point of Lane 8 is to challenge you (and me) to set awesome health goals, go after them, reach them, and then maintain our health goals for the rest of our lives.

This requires DAILY effort. Which is why I write this Lane 8 blog every single day. Got it? Every single day is our great opportunity to focus on our health.

It is not easy. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. But it is always worthwhile. Figure it out or live with regret. There are no other choices.
