Lane 8 Is The Worst

Lane 8 is where the slowest competitor is placed. In swimming. In running.

You never saw Michael Phelps (world’s fastest swimmer) in Lane 8. You never saw Usain Bolt (world’s fastest runner) in Lane 8.

And yet Lane 8 is my goal.

This week, like most of you, there was a serious struggle to find the right balance of physical activity and healthy nutrition. Diet and exercise.

Here’s one of my little secrets. Are you interested in it?

Dream Big. Get There. Stay There.

Come up with a mantra, a saying, that will keep you focused on one simple goal.

To not give up, no matter the set backs. Ever!

Lane 8 Food Pyramid

Anyone out there disagree that diet and exercise are a good way to control and maintain decent health?

Anyone not heard of the Food Pyramid?

Okay, so these things are well-known common knowledge, right?

What’s at the base, the foundation, of the the food pyramid?

Then explain to me please, why is it that people will pick apart a sandwich and eat the meat and discard the bread?

Not trying to make anyone feel bad, I’m seriously trying to understand this. It confusing and bewildering.

Do these people know something that the rest of the scientific nutritional world is clueless to?

You – Superhero or Villian?

Were you ever a kid?

Loaded question, right? Of course. We all were. So what’s the point?

The point is there’s a more important question, “Are you still a kid?”

Let’s assume we all say, “Yes, I’m still a kid at heart.”

Good, because kids dream of being a super hero, or being saved by a super hero. Remember? Well guess what? If you are looking for a place to find your motivation, consider being a super hero.

Did You?

Did you exercise yesterday?

Did you eat mostly healthy food?

Do you plan on doing it again today?

Excellent.

If you answered no to the questions, today’s another day.

If not you, who? If not today, when?

Are you getting this? Or is it getting old?

If it’s getting old, so are you.

Find A Million Ways

Who is going to motivate you to reach your goals?

We really have to give serious attention to this question.

It’s what’s known as a non-negotiable question.

You must have an answer or you will fail.

Period.

Why must we have an answer?

Because things will get difficult.

And difficulty will happen repeatedly.

Over and over again. Until we die.

The antidote?

Find a million ways.
