Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
“You can observe a lot by watching.” – Yogi Berra
What did you learn from watching Germany’s Guido Mueller, age 70, break that world record?
I learned age is a state of mind. And the longer you wait to believe this, the harder it must be to do something about it.
I also learned it’s better late than never – otherwise, my wife and I wouldn’t be parents.
What are you waiting for? For the people around you, will you be an example, or a warning? Carpe diem.
“We don’t stop doing things because we get old. We get old because we stop doing things”. — unknown
There is good reason for staying active. It’s so we don’t get “old”.
Our mind has an instrument that measures our belief system. It’s pass or fail – it’s the quote above.
It’s up to you and I to make our choice. Always has been. Always will be. Carpe diem! 🙂
Hey, I didn’t run today. Had a big Keynote speech to deliver at 9:00AM to 1,200 Guests, and was at the venue before 7:00AM. It was GREAT, by the way.
Each year, I’m blessed, a handful of times, to have impacted an audience so much so that they are compelled to stand and applaud. Today was one of those days. Wow! Humbled.
Felt sickly afterwards, and decided that was nature’s way of telling me to, “Take the day off from working out, you need the rest”.
My left foot does not feel great. Pain is better than three weeks ago, but not gone. Patience. Faith. Trust. Surrender. Etc. Plus, I have so much to be thankful for, I start to feel guilty with the dream of running with world-class Master’s athletes.
We’ll see how it goes in the morning.
Training. Disney. Money.
What do they have in common?
They are all great google keywords. Significantly better than many others you’d think would be great.
But guess what, technology has a funny way of leveling the playing field. You can have a great product, but if your Internet marketing is average, you may find yourself playing catch-up.
Same thing with running, except keywords don’t level the playing field. Age does.
My “comeback” 5k this morning was faster than I hoped. Awesome. The consistent training, while working full time at Disney, has paid off far more than money.
