Dreaming of the worst lane and finishing last

Questioning everything led to the Lane 8 metaphor

Why would an athlete dream of the worst lane and finishing dead last?

Would you rather be the slowest of the fastest or the fastest of the slowest?

Slowest of the fastest declares you eighth best in the world, if you’re in the finals, at the Masters Track & Field World Championships.

Fastest of the slowest could be at a nursing home.

Finish dead last.

Eighth best in the world.

This is the metaphor and symbolism for this blog – Lane 8 – and life in general.

But not impossible.

When we come to fully realize that everything is a gift, our life is elevated with a sense of deep obligation to nurture our body.

Every damn day.

Better health is a personal goal and challenge. Encouraging others to strive for the same is also a goal and a challenge.

Why fuss over trying to help others?

Help thy brother’s boat across, and lo! Thine own has
reached the shore. – Hindu Proverb
