Lane 8 Announcement

Change Is In The Air
Change Is In The Air

It’s Sunday morning, not quite 7:00AM as I write this Lane 8 post. Two months ago I rearranged the office layout, so now my desk is against the opposite wall – the one with the double windows.

You know what this provides, different from when it faced the wall?

It provides the most enjoyable view of every sunrise. Like now.

It was a small change, although it was a fair amount of work because the desk is very heavy.

Small changes are often more work than we think. Same with diet and exercise. Same with blogging.

If you are interested in sharing your health and wellness thoughts, feelings, successes, challenges, Lane 8 is available on Sundays.

Email [email protected] or comment below. I pray someone will find the courage to seize this unique opportunity.

PS. Sometimes small changes don’t require much effort at all.

Our differences make the world interesting, don’t they? And they also cause conflict.

We all know others who have some expertise where we don’t and vice-versa.

Sometimes we pay cash for the exchange, but mostly we just try to help each other out.

Yesterday at Gold’s Gym, a friend talked of running a 5k. It would be his first.

I’m a good runner, but more than that, I’m an expert at focus and discipline (and motivation).

Do you know what you are an expert at?

I caught myself doling out advice (after it was asked for), but then caught myself a second time – and backed up, to ask a simple question.

“Why do you want to run a 5k?”

This Time Last Year

Do you celebrate milestones from your life, other than the traditional ones?

There’s something about milestones that help us to keep moving forward, to become the type of person we dream of becoming.

What’s a personal, nontraditional milestone that you celebrate, that you’d like to share?

What’s the limit to a BIG goal?

Tiger Woods has a new, world-class goal.  Know what it is?

Can you guess?

To be the best Daddy in the Universe? He has a newborn son, and an almost two-year old daughter.

First of all, I currently hold that title, “Best Daddy in the Universe”. My human son (eight) and canine son (9) voted, and it’s official.

Guess again? Here’s what he said, and I quote it from yesterday’s USA Today front page:

“I want to become better than I was”.

This made me think, and maybe you too, “What’s my BIG goal this year, and for the next couple years?

Funny thing. I actually have an answer.

Do you? If so, great. If not, why not?

I always think, “Dream Big.  Get There.  Stay There.”

Wishing you the passion, will, and opportunity you need and want, to dream big dreams.  And more importantly, to go after them.

Carpe diem!
