The Key To Health
Ever struggle with your motivation to exercise or with making smart food choices?
(If you said no, you’re lying)
Yesterday while at Gold’s Gym Orlando, I asked one of the staff, “What is it that makes some people commit to exercise for a lifetime and others quit after a few weeks?”
What do you think? How would you answer it?
I suggested that we can not do it for ourselves, we must do it for someone else. If we fail, we only let ourselves down. But if we do it for someone else and we fail, we let them down.
The other person challenged my rational (which is exciting), and in the speed of the day, neither one of us, in this casual conversation, really had a desire to debate this further at that moment.
Yet on the drive home, what I had been trying to say was revealed. We need to be a role model for great health habits. This is the secret that eludes people.
You must be someone’s role model, for life. This means you can not fail. There is no greater motivation.
If this is flying over your head, you’re at huge risk to miss this simple, but compelling health secret.
Dream Big Lane 8
What does it take, day after day, to stay motivated?
That’s really the difference between a casual approach and a committed approach.
You knew that, right?
If you don’t dream big (like for the rest of your life), you lose.
Big is not:
- Losing weight for the cruise
- Losing weight for the School Reunion
- Watching your diet for your upcoming blood test
- Losing weight to get back in your old jeans
- Losing weight for swim suit season
Big is only one thing:
- For your lifetime health and fitness
Got it?
Good. Enjoy your food and your exercise today.
Winter Olympics 2010
What is it about the Olympics that stirs our soul and lifts our spirit?
Perhaps it the same as admiring a priceless work of art, or a magnificently built cathedral, or listening to a brilliantly written and performed song, or dining on a meal prepared by the finest chefs.
It could even be tonight’s sunset, or tomorrow’s sunrise.
Whatever it is, I believe it is critical to harness this passion.
This is passion for “art”, in all it’s forms. This passion is what stirs our souls and lifts our spirits.
And whatever it is, we must find it, grab tight, and never let go.
The time for letting will eventually come, and hopefully, we will be ready.
Find A Million Ways?
Yes. If you don’t know what this means, there’s still hope for you.
There are hundreds of ideas here at Lane 8.
But they are of no use if you don’t do something, like read them.
Here’s today’s biscuit.
