Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Why do you exercise?
Why don’t you exercise?
Why do you eat such a healthy diet?
Why do you eat such junk food?
How long will you be able to maintain this routine?
When are you going to start?
What motivates you?
What are you afraid of?
Why? When? Where? Who? How?
If you can’t answer these for yourself, then who else do you think is going to answer them? No one?
No one! (exclamation mark)
One last question.
“Doesn’t this scare the heck out of you?”
Whether or not you go to a gym is inconsequential. It doesn’t matter.
Why?
Because who cares where you exercise? Really. Who cares? No one. Maybe you care, but in reality, no one cares.
So what’s the point then?
Simply this – if you have the capability to exercise and don’t, aren’t you forfeiting one of the most amazing graces ever bestowed on you?
Blah, blah, blah….hurts like hell. Still. My foot hurts. A lot.
If you’re new to Lane 8, welcome. Earlier this year, there were quite a few Lane 8 blog posts discussing my foot pain and whether or not I could travel to Finland for the Master’s Track & Field World Championships.
And yesterday, after writing the post, “43rd”, it caused me to do several things:
The last one in particular is the one that seems most important.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.
If you’re goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.
Carpe diem. It’s completely up to you. You are the CEO of YOU, Inc.
Yep, it’s gonna hurt like hell to reach your big dreams. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. Once you realize that hard work is the way, the way gets easier. It doesn’t become easy, simply easier.
Shot this short (17 seconds) You Tube video while in Anchorage, Alaska a few days ago. Even though I take my work very seriously, I desperately try not to take myself to seriously. Can you relate?
Not as in running, jogging, sprinting. On the run as in a hurry.
Spent four days in Anchorage, Alaska and did not exercise. Not by choice.
Got back late last night early this morning. There is no exercising this morning either. Five straight days without exercise. I feel the pain of everyone who struggles to make physical wellness a priority.
There is no easy way.
Well, actually, there is an easy way – simply don’t worry about it until the phone rings, “Excuse me, it’s for you. It’s your wake up call”.
