One brick (and one day) at a time builds the road to success (and wellness).

Even while dying, Randy Pausch rode his bike an hour each day. This led to his bestselling book.

Dear Son, it doesn’t matter what form of exercise you choose. It only matters that whatever you choose, you do it regularly and that you enjoy it most of the time.

Everyone has "valid" reasons why they can't find time to exercise and make healthier food choices.

Running, walking, swimming, dancing, rowing, yoga, gardening and all the other great forms of exercise don’t matter one iota if you don’t find a way to make it part of your lifestyle.

Part of creating your commitment is creating your own personal vibe (brand).

Dear Son, as we plan, and toil, day after day, week after week, month after month, we can take solace in knowing we are on the same page in terms of diet and exercise. There is still a major commitment I need from you though.

Lane 8, Rice University, Houston, Texas 2010

Fellow Baby Boomers and Gen X-ers, please listen up. Who do you go to for authentic health and wellness advice you can trust? Is it a person who expertly understands work/life balance and you can actually see them demonstrate this expertise every single day, for years on end? You know, someone who practices it first and then preaches it?

A picture is often worth 1,000 words. You don't have to go to the gym, but you do have to move.

Lane 8′s theme this month is “Similar Differences”. Our differences are similar. I love running, but will never push running on someone. I exercise at dawn, but would never say you have to do it then. They only thing I’ll insist on is that you insist on getting started and never quitting. The rest is just individual details. Fair enough?

jeff noel's Hometown, Walt Disney World

In the Animal Kingdom, there are no wellness programs. Animals survive because each day they use common sense: stay active, eat to stay alive, and watch your back. Common sense is rarely common practice in the human world. I’m thankful for that.

Who Wants To Exercise In This?

In everything there is a blessing. Even when it doesn’t seem so. The fact that you can argue jeff noel’s point is a blessing. The fact that jeff noel writes things at Midlife Celebration you don’t agree with, is a blessing.

Disney Pixar's Finding Nemo

As powerful as the grip of a mighty Python

Ever been around codependence? Most people either don’t know, or won’t admit it. Neither good or bad, simply reality. In fact, we have all been through it or are going through it now. Breaking free from the chains of excuses is, or will be, one of life’s toughest obstacles.
