Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Getting motivated is one thing. Achieving a big goal is another. But staying active for the rest of your life, now there’s an impossible goal.
Motivation is like a meal, several hours later, we are in need of more. Here’s one of my favorite “restaurants”.
Only you can make the choice. No one else. It’s very challenging to stay motivated. Find a million ways or people might look at you as a warning instead of an example.
Le Tour de France is in it’s 96th running.
What’s the point? It’s a 21-day competition. Over 3,500 miles. Seriously, 3,500 miles. Think about it.
Some say it’s the world’s toughest athletic competition. I would have to agree.
Time trials. Flats. Sharp turns. Mountains. For 21 days. And these cyclists are riding hard. Every single day.
Punishing. Grueling. Relentless.
And then there’s this guy, maybe you’ve heard of him, Lance Armstrong.
Seven consecutive Tour de France victories.
Excellence. Focus. Drive. Strategy. Perseverance. Tenacity. Intensity.
Traits to live by, eh?
Or as Lance Armstrong suggests – traits to Live Strong!

Never gets old.
Lane 8 never gets old?
Not for me.
Why?
Because I’ve come to realize that the way to be great, at anything, is to cultivate, develop, and finally, harness two key factors.
Focus and discipline.
Can you imagine trying to be great without these two?
There’s one other factor that deserves intense consideration – vision.
Steve Prefontaine had a vision – to be the greatest runner in the world, even though people said he was too short, too weak.
Good luck with whatever is important to you. Now you know my secrets.
They’re actually just common sense, but not common practice.
