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?”

Meanwhile, here are my favorite daily wellness tips:
There are others, but these are the critical success factors that work for me. My way is not the only way. And this list is intended to share the common sense building blocks for a wide variety of approaches.
The best way, is the way that works for you. And, generally speaking, the best way for you is the one that you never abandon. Good luck and here’s to your health!
The man is human. Enough about Tiger Woods already. Can we move on?
Are you ready?
I mean, for the New Year?
Okay, are you ready for December? It starts tomorrow.
This gives everyone who needs it, 31 more days until the New Year starts. A new year, a new beginning.
Seriously, if you are not going to focus on your health this coming year, there is only one simple question.
“Why not?”
Sorry if this sounds pushy. It’s the way I’ve learned to talk to myself. Once I accepted the truth that it ain’t ever gonna be easy, and that I’ll have to talk like this until I die, well, it started to get easier.
PS. Here’s a surprise. Who doesn’t like surprises? Driving home yesterday from a meeting, my son and I were surprised at the new road-side circus.
As adults, we are all of these – parents (most of us anyway), teachers, students.
Adults, due to societal norms and conditioning, often have us unconsciously – especially through media – teaching children “rights” versus teaching children “responsibilities”.
America was founded on, and defended for, the right that all (wo)men are created equal. Innocent until proven guilty. The right to vote. And to pursue happiness, etc.
But where and when do we teach children about responsibilities? Exercise your body. Enrich your mind through books. Pray and give thanks for your many blessings. Get an education and a good job.
You may not realize this. I never did, until one day, it hit me. Children look to adults for role models. If you don’t take care of your health, why should they?
Lane 8 is devoted to our gift of physical health. Not perfect health, but certainly an earnest striving for optimal health. I really don’t want younger generations feeling like I’ve let them down. Do you?
The original tag line for Lane 8 was:
Dream Big. Get There. Stay There.
Take your time but hurry up. The clock is ticking.
And remember to go a little easy on yourself. But not for long though. Coaches push others to their limits. We must learn to do this with ourselves. What do you think?
If you don’t, who will? If not today, or this week, when?
We will fail. It’s inevitable. However, I believe failure is simply a test to see if we were serious or not.
Are you?
