The secret insight behind slow and steady wins the race?
The turtle began the race at her best pace, slow. Steady.
She never quit. Ever.
The rabbit jumped at the start, raced enthusiastically ahead. Then rested some. Start. Stop. Start. Stop.
We all know how it ends, but rarely see the diamond in the rough.

Do you want to be healthier or are you good with where you are right now?
If you’re good with where you are right now, can you see into the future, years down the road, and still see a healthy you?
What if you fought for your health the same way our police fight for justice?
Exercise. Fitness. Wellness. Flexibility. Strength. Cardiovascular.
Blood pressure. Resting heart rate. Good cholesterol. Bad cholesterol. Body Mass Index. Triglycerides.
Those words should mean something. So should these.
Determination. Perseverance. Tenacity. Hope. Dreams. Persistence. Motivation. Inspiration. Courage.
Focus. Discipline. Results. Good habits. Bad habits. Dreams. Goals. Success.
If not today, when? It’s up to you. Always has been. Always will be. Carpe diem.
Ever get a perfect health score?
Friday’s strength test and core test proved one thing in particular.
A decade worth of hard work, persistence, determination, goal setting, set backs, failures, successes, sweat, pain, motivation, lack of confidence, confusion, stress, progress, injuries, rehab, physical therapy, core workouts, speed work, and endurance work.
Plus, stretching, flexibility training, 5k’s, 10k’s, 400 meters, 800 meters, 1,500 meters, obsession, surrender, thinking, smiling, hoping, visioning, praying, playing, involving family, sacrificing family, nutrition, reading, studying, working full time, volunteering, dreaming, sleeping, lying awake, and probably many more – but I better stop now.
The result?
A perfect score! My physical therapist determined my core was a perfect score of 21 out of 21. She used a test used on professional athletes to look for imbalances and weaknesses.
The leg strength test showed my right versus left leg was only 2/10ths of a percent apart.
The staff at Florida Hospital Rehab awarded me the “Most Symmetrical Person” they have ever seen there.
What all of this means is that the efforts have yielded extra-ordinary results.
Life is like that. You reap what you sow.
I’ll try to not forget that simple truth. Even though I’m easily distracted. “Oh look, a bird”!
Make today a day to at least consider your physical health and ask yourself, “Am I investing in my health”? Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
