Eventually This Is Possible

Feeling overwhelmed? We all are.

There is hope. It’s free. But it’s not easy.

You must do the five simple steps from Lane 8’s blog post two days ago, if you intend to transform yourself.

You can (repeat, CAN) become conditioned to work on two or three impossible goals simultaneously.

But not until you’ve had some success doing it one at a time.

Look, you won’t find easy answers here. You’ll find simple answers, but nothing here is going to be “easy”.

Will I ever make it to Lane 8? No, but that won’t stop me from trying. And in the process of never giving up, perhaps I’ll stay healthy for the rest of my life.

And maybe, just maybe, if the best runners in the world have their worst day, and I have the absolute best day of my life, maybe the finals in the worst lane, Lane 8, isn’t impossible after all.

And maybe reaching your impossible goal isn’t impossible either.

Ready to Fight?

Are you ready to fight for your life?

Then, and only then, will you start to see the changes you’ve always dreamed of.

May I introduce your opponent?

It’s you. You are the challenge. You are the problem. You are the opportunity.

It’s time to kick your own butt. Seriously, it is.

If not you, who? if not now, when?

Ps. I’m dead serious about this.

Keep Your Goals Very Small

What the? Keep my goals very small? Didn’t you say to dream big?

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

Exactly.

And maybe the challenge for many people, including you, is that your definition of impossible is inaccurate.

When I started running 11 years ago, my impossible goal wasn’t to run in the Master’s Track & Field World Championships.

It also wasn’t to run one mailbox a day for a week, and then two mailboxes a day the second week and so on.

It was to get started and never stop.

One day at a time. Get started and never quit. Never quit, one day at a time – this is what I mean by very small goals.

Do you see the difference?

Lane 8 Succeeds Due to Failure

Lane 8 is successful because Lane 8 is a failure.

Huh? Exactly.

I could try and explain it to you, but you already know what I’m talking about, don’t you? If you are confused, this 30-second You Tube video should clear it up:

There, that’s the point of this Lane 8 message today. We succeed in proportion to our willingness to fail.

Fearing failure is a sure fire way to have success elude you. Who wants that?

What’s Impossible?

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small people who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s not an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary… Impossible is nothing.” – Adidas

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

Good luck today with your health goals. Set ’em high. Carpe diem.
