Not Everything Will Taste Like Chocolate

Yesterday’s health care video was very funny, which is really sad.

It’s really sad because it’s so true.

When you look around at the people you know who get decent results from their diet and exercise, you know what their secret is?

You don’t, do you?

It’s painful to admit.

But they have learned to dramatically reduce the number of excuses they are willing to accept.

They don’t eliminate every excuse, but they certainly alleviate the vast majority of excuses.

You can too.

But first, you’ll have to eliminate the excuse that you can’t alleviate the excuses.

It may even require getting down on bended knee and surrendering the past, so that you can begin a new journey.

Today is an active day of rest physically, meaning I am consciously choosing to not run or go to the gym. I’m also taking an active rest day here, so to speak, by simply posting this short (and very funny) video about visiting the doctor:

The challenge with active rest days is that when it comes to prayer, there really is no time to rest.

6 Impossible Dreams Before Sunrise?

The Focus Is Fear Or Courage?
The Focus Is Fear Or Courage?

A couple nights ago we had “movie night” at our house and chose Disney’s “Alice In Wonderland”, with Johnny Depp.

Early in the movie, Alice is sharing with someone that her Father would dream six impossible dreams before breakfast. A typical morning for him.

Alice’s Father was a dreamer.

Are you?

What would have happened if Martin Luther King wouldn’t have been a dreamer?

Don’t listen to your lizard brain, listen to your heart.

What Would You Say?

Reach For The Stars

What would you say? Does it roll off the tip of your tongue like honeydew vine water?

Or do you hesitate?

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

(you do know that’s the tag line here at Lane 8, right?)

Heck yeah, I have no idea how I’m going to help raise money until a cure is found. It does feel impossible.

Until I remember why I’m here.

Fitness World Record

Have you ever seen a world record unfold before your very eyes?

Ever catch one on video?

Last summer, in Finland, I did both.

The “buzz” afterwards was that it was the equivalent of Roger Banister breaking (1956) the four-minute mile barrier.

Pushing the limits, even if it’s simply walking in your very first 5k, is what doing the impossible is all about. It’s about you, your goals, and going after them.
