Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Lane 8 Vision. What’s the vision for Lane 8? I’ve shared it over and over with people, one at a time.
It hit me. Record a Lane 8 You Tube video and post it as a PAGE for first time visitors to Lane 8.
This is the first of several jeff noel midlife You Tube videos, sharing the vision for Lane 8.
Now, hopefully, you have a clearer picture. But this is only the beginning. Stay tuned.
As soon as I can, I’ll post the followup to this one.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Lane 8 world record at 400 meters being set as I video the men’s 70-74 age group.
Germany’s Guido Muller is the oldest man ever (repeat, ever) to run 400 meters under one minute.
It’s sort of like Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile barrier in 1954.
There is so much I have to share from the WMA Master’s World Championships. Each day, you can expect more from the week-long trip to Lahti, Finland.
Watch him do it here in front of my very eyes two days ago:
Click here to see Forbes list of the top 20 athletic achievements from the past 150 years. Forbes voted Roger Bannister’s feat number one. Lance Armstrong was voted second.
Yes. Gold medal effort. That’s all I can ask of myself, “Did I do my best”?
Yes, I did.
“Will you do your very best”?
These two crazy dreamers (below) claim, “If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough”.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Do your best. How can anyone complain if they’ve done their best?
While it is quite tempting to want to be the best, for many, simply doing your best is gold-medal worthy.
What could be a sad thing for many dreams, is that people sell themselves short because they think winning a medal is the only measure of greatness.
Twice yesterday, I witnessed two athletes finish dreadfully last in their preliminary heats. They received more applause than the winners.
Why?
You tell me.
Perhaps, because deep down inside of each of us, is a desire to try as hard as that person, but we don’t have the courage to risk that kind of “embarrassment”.
When people aren’t concerned about what others think, they can do extraordinary things.
For an adult who’s never been able to read, and they work desperately hard to try to – then one day they are able to read a kindergarten book.
Gold medal.
Ya with me? Please don’t sell yourself short. Do your best, no matter what others think. This is what I tell myself everyday.

Lane 8 or Lane Eight?
It doesn’t matter.
I discovered, as I was handing out my virtual business card (domain name) this past week, that many people don’t grasp Lane 8 as readily as I had hoped.
“Eight the number, or do you spell it”, they would ask.
So a went to GoDaddy again and added several other domain names so it doesn’t matter what domain name they use, they’ll find it.

The road to excellence has no finish line. Everyday is an opportunity to learn and improve. But only if you are focused and disciplined.
