Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Yep. And this is not some ridiculous April Fool’s joke.
For the rest of our lives?
Seriously?
It sure would seem so, wouldn’t it?
The original tag-line I created was:
As you can see instead, it’s:
Final answer?
Yes, for the rest of our lives.
Impossible?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
You know we’re talking about living a healthy, active lifestyle, right?
Here’s what happened yesterday. I wrote a Lane 8 blog post. Been doing that everyday for the past year.
Plus, there was You Tube video to illustrate what a slow and steady approach to diet and exercise can do.
The key to slow and steady is not quitting.
Ever.
One-third who read and watched were inspired.
One-third could really care less one way or the other.
And one-third said to themselves, “Showoff“.
Sad, but true.
After reading yesterday’s Lane 8 blog post, did you think long and hard about your health?
Let me guess, “No.”
What motivates you at work? At home?
What demotivates you at work? At home?
You can use your answers to figure it out. And that’s the bottom line isn’t it?
Figure it out!
No one is going to hold your hand. You are an adult, fully and completely responsible for your health.
Period.
Late yesterday, I was on the phone with a great friend. We spoke for nearly 30 minutes about really significant, life “stuff”. He’s a great listener, and he allows me to verbalize dreams, goals.

Almost 51, I practice what I preach. Take a look. This was two days ago. How many 51 year olds can do this?
How often to you consciously focus on your health?
Alright, let me ask it this way. How often do you think about work? About all the things that need to be done. About whether or not you are doing a good job or a great job?
How often?
Do you see where this is going?
Why is diet and exercise any different than work?
If you had a few rare moments where the daily pressure and stress weren’t about to crush you, and you could think calmly and intelligently about your health, what would you think about?
What would those thoughts prompt you to do?
The Master’s Track & Field National Indoor Championships conclude today at the Reggie Lewis Center, in Boston. About 850 Master’s athletes, aged 30 – 90+ have been running, jumping and throwing their way to better health.
It takes passion, inspiration and motivation to continue to remain active and healthy, well into our midlife and senior years. How do they do it?
Well, for starters, they’ve got soul:
Maybe your impossible goal is plain and simple. Once you get healthier, stay there for the rest of your life.
