Everything’s Great Until…

Cliches. My friend claims a saying doesn’t reach cliche status until it is universally accepted as “truth”.

“Everything’s great, until it’s not.”

Managing our motivation to exercise and diet is one thing. Staying healthy is a completely separate category.

Some Days We Don’t

My "Excuse" Was Traveling All Day
My "Excuse" Was Traveling All Day

Do you beat yourself up when you break your promise to exercise? To eat healthier? To get more sleep? Human nature probably.

Or, simply overestimating our schedules and failing to plan for the inevitable unexpected things – life.

I went 0 for 3 yesterday. How’d you do?

Got big plans for today?

Unless It Matters To You

This morning, at 4:50AM, while deciding what to write here at Lane 8, found a post I had started in August 2009, but had never finished, never posted.

In watching these two videos, it’s clear where my mind was. It was on motivation. Everyday our minds should be on motivation.  Everyday.

Many of you will never be runners. That’s ok.  Never want you to feel like you should be a runner. But I absolutely want you to feel you should do something. Walk, bike, dance, roll, swim, stairs, yoga, gym, ski…. it doesn’t matter, unless it matters to you.

Everyday Courage Has Few Witnesses

All Proof Destroyed?
All Proof Destroyed?

“Everyday courage has few witnesses. But yours is no less noble because no drum beats for you, and no crowds shout your name.” Robert Louis Stevenson

Maybe you believe in yourself, or maybe you don’t.

The more days that you go without quitting what you you really want to do, the stronger your belief will become.

There really is no other way to change.

You simply must have resolve. A goal is not enough.

You must want this for the rest of your life.

Remember, your everyday courage will have very few witnesses.

How’s that sound?
