Life’s Big Choices

 

The whole of Life’s Five Big Choices is greater than the sum of it’s parts. We find it incredibly motivating how determination, humility, and simplicity work together to make everything more amazing than we’ve ever seen.

For example, the past two weeks, core strength metrics have spiked to record levels. Attributed only to one thing – not quitting.

The point? Just when we think, “It’s not worth it anymore”, progress.

And even without a “breakthrough”, everyday we don’t quit is, well, also progress.

His attitude and preparation allowed him to nail it

Did his midlife attitude and preparation allow him to nail it? The 50-something Baby Boomer had a mental plan:

  • 400 in 1:28 (88 sec lap)
  • 800 in 2:55 (87 sec lap)
  • 1200 in 4:20 (85 sec lap)
  • 1500 in 5:20 or better (60 sec or better final 300m)

The reality…

  • 400 in 1:24 (84 sec lap)
  • 800 in 2:51 (87 sec lap)
  • 1200 in 4:20 (89 sec lap)
  • 1500 in 5:18 (58 sec final 300m)

How Is Our Health Like Learning How To Play A Musical Instrument

Every chance I get to skip a fast food joint is another little victory.

Practice, practice, practice. I’ve never played a musical instrument, but watched my Dad teach drum lessons in our living room growing up. Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings Dad gave 30-minute lessons to hopeful young musicians. I see how my (health) success as a Boomer is directly related to my steady, committed practice, just like those young drummer boys.
