before long, I was at the edge of the stage
Rock concerts and personal wellness are similar. Who knew? When you believe in yourself and try things you normally don’t try – because you’ve been conditioned that it’s inappropriate or too difficult – you get amazingly different results than if you do the same old thing you’ve always done.

Nothing is ever as easy as it seems. Yet many Boomers make excuses about how lucky, or how privileged, or how blah-blah-blah someone else is, and therefore they are justified in their self-pity and self-doubt. (please excuse me while I go throw up…be right back)
How lame is it to make a promise to a 7-year old that when he turns eight he’s old enough to travel on a business trip with Dad, and not fulfill it until he’s 11? With one week before departure, I figured it out, bought his plane ticket and finally fulfilled my promise to Chapin.

Health Is Wealth
Health is wealth.
That’s what the 93-year old woman said.
She always said it.
She had a wisdom about her that only comes from seeing it all. A lifetime of sorting through the “meaning of life”.
In 1989, Cheryl and I returned to Pennsylvania for our Best Man’s wedding.

What can we learn from defeat, loss, failure?
Many things to be sure. But only if we try hard to learn from setback. And only if we listen. And only if we then try again.
Are you listening? And I don’t mean, “Sleigh bells ring, are you listening”.
I mean, are you the kind of person that will pick yourself up after you fall?
Are you the type of person that finds a million ways to stay motivated?
You see, getting motivated is one thing. What makes winners is staying motivated.
Oh wait, you want to tell me something, right?
Okay, go ahead.
“Jeff, you don’t understand, my life is hard. It’s very difficult.”
Here’s a Christmas gift for you, and it is given with the most hopeful and sincere intent – “No one has it easy. Period. End of story.”

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?
Today would be a decent day to venture over to jungle jeff’s blog.
Why?
Because today’s message at jungle jeff is very relevant to what Lane 8 is all about.
Setting goals, achieving goals and sustaining those goals. Modifying or changing our lifestyles to a more desirable, healthier state.
