Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
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.
Okay. Short and sweet.
Today’s lesson is yesterday’s lesson.
Old news?
Are you kidding me?
You better read yesterday’s post over and over until you can’t see straight.
Maybe then you’ll start your change – the change you want desperately to make.
The change you deserve. You owe it to yourself.
See you yesterday….
Are you a movie star?
A rock star?
A Hollywood celebrity?
Most likely, we can all answer these questions with a resounding, “No.”
But I beg to offer a different perspective (imagine that, lol).
People are watching you the same way they watch famous people, and they are doing the same thing to you they do after watching famous people.
Judging.
We are all telling a story about what we value. Yes, we are. Every single day. Every choice we make is another “scene” from the movie entitled “Your Life”.
And this brings us back to a very poignant question, “Am I an example or a warning?”
“Liar.”
“You talkin’ to me?”
“Yeah. I’m talkin’ to you.”
It’s a funny observation, human behavior. Always has been, hasn’t it?
Ever go to the park, to center city, to the mall, or just about any public place, and “people watch“?
This time of year there is an annual lying match to see who can tell the biggest lies. Crazy thing though, no one knows about it. And those that do know, could care less about the prize.
Why? Because there is no prize.
No prize for lying that is.
But there is a prize. It’s for resolve. And for creativity. For, indomitable will.
And when we stop lying and start the battle of our lives, then the prize will take care of itself.
Yes, Masters Track.
What do you do to stay motivated to reach and maintain your health goals?
Master’s athletes are defined as people over 30 years old.
There are other sports that have Masters competitions too. The thought of trying something completely out of my comfort zone actually seems possible – at a future time, of course.
Why?
Because the whole point of the competition, to me, is simply to find ways to stay motivated. When things get boring, I get less motivated.
This is a deadly place to be, literally.
Someday. maybe swimming. Or perhaps I’ll try Filed events, like the Discus, Shot Put, or, heaven forbid, the Pole Vault.
Whatever it takes. That’s one of the secrets to staying healthier. I figure everybody knows this, but it never hurts to say important things over and over.
Does it?
