Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Because we see it every time we visit Lane 8, we don’t see it any more.
The tag line.
Huh?
The tag line beneath the title, Lane 8, at the very top (header) of this page”
“If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.”
As soon as I start taking the most important things for granted, I lose. Are ya with me?
Drumroll please……
Wait. But first, let’s just make sure we’re all on the same page. Two days ago was the anniversary of John Lennon’s death, and the topic of yesterday’s post.
But today’s Lane 8 blog post is not about John Lennon, it’s about motivation.
It’s also about the number one most contagious thing (and greatest success factor) in the world when it comes to motivation.
Are you ready?
Okay, back to the drumroll. Drumroll please…..
The number one most contagious thing in the world is…….ENTHUSIASM!!!!!
Can you hear the echos of some people saying, “That’s it? That’s all you got? You’re wasting my time!”
And others, “Yes, that’s exactly it. Try to do anything well without a mountain of enthusiasm. Seriously, go ahead and try.”
What works best for you?
Blah, blah, blah….hurts like hell. Still. My foot hurts. A lot.
If you’re new to Lane 8, welcome. Earlier this year, there were quite a few Lane 8 blog posts discussing my foot pain and whether or not I could travel to Finland for the Master’s Track & Field World Championships.
And yesterday, after writing the post, “43rd”, it caused me to do several things:
The last one in particular is the one that seems most important.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.
If you’re goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.
Carpe diem. It’s completely up to you. You are the CEO of YOU, Inc.
Yep, it’s gonna hurt like hell to reach your big dreams. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. Once you realize that hard work is the way, the way gets easier. It doesn’t become easy, simply easier.
As a general rule, there is no running when it’s below 32 degrees. Call me a light-weight.

Most likely, I’ll be the only one clicking on the link. Why? Because there are not too many people smart enough over 40 years old (any age really), who focus on their wellness as much as I’m motivated to do.
Why? Well, um, well, I really don’t know. Probably has something to do with an unresolved emotional issue or a predisposition to over-achieve. Everyone has unique quirks. Staying healthy is one of mine.
