Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
What is wellness?
Wellness is the overall balance between life’s four big decisions:
Many think balance is only two-sided. You know, personal and professional balance.
This is where people have a huge opportunity. Life is four, not two.
This is why so many people struggle. Why so many fail.
Being good in three out of four doesn’t deliver balance, happiness, or peace.
Click here to read about the most legendary coach of all time. You won’t recognize his name, but his record of accomplishment will blow you away.
The only reason you are invited, and encouraged, to read it is because most have never heard of this remarkable coach, his vision, his habits, his life. Soon enough, he will fade away, along with his amazing accomplishments.
This really is your only opportunity. Your life is too busy to come back. Being excellent at what you do requires you to work harder than the people who are good and very good at what you do.
So why do it now? Because if you don’t have time now, you won’t have it later either. This is the way life works and why those who are excellent develop a “do it now” habit.
Excellent people also know that their next best idea can come from others who are extraordinarily excellent.
Why? Because it could hold a simple angle or simple tactic to your success. But you may never know….
How long have you been on your journey to live a healthy, or healthier, lifestyle?
How many times have you tried, but soon found your motivation waning?
How many times – perhaps like now with the Olympics – do you really get serious and really get excited about becoming totally committed?
At some point, we have to come face to face with the truth about our habits.
And only a few will actually transform themselves.
Do you get this concept yet?
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.
Lane 8 is where the slowest competitor is placed. In swimming. In running.
You never saw Michael Phelps (world’s fastest swimmer) in Lane 8. You never saw Usain Bolt (world’s fastest runner) in Lane 8.
And yet Lane 8 is my goal.
This week, like most of you, there was a serious struggle to find the right balance of physical activity and healthy nutrition. Diet and exercise.
Here’s one of my little secrets. Are you interested in it?
Dream Big. Get There. Stay There.
Come up with a mantra, a saying, that will keep you focused on one simple goal.
To not give up, no matter the set backs. Ever!
