There are moments in time that change everything

Mid Life Celebration keynote speaker — The upper right quadrant represents our body. – our physical health.

There are moments in time that change everything. And if we are intentional, we’ll control when many of these moments happen.

And the reason we want to control when they happen is so it will be easier to remember them.

The easier it is to remember them, the more likely they are to perpetually influence how we live moment to moment – most of us dream of being in the moment more often.

April 15, 1999 (income tax deadline – a day every working American is familiar with) i began running one mailbox a day for a week. Less than a month ago, on Halloween, my wife and son began doing the same thing.

How long will we let big projects hold us back from wellness?

How long will we let big projects hold us back from wellness?

Now that the book is finished will there be time on weekends to go for walks with the Family?

For any of us, will there be time?

Our first victory is private – victory over our personal slothfulness.

Our second victory is in serenity.

Knowing we slayed that dragon.

The bonus, if we get lucky, is influencing others, say Family, to join in.

Lane 8 Healthy Week Flashback

Last night, while watching the Super Bowl, did some blog surfing and found this Lane 8 healthy blog post from last April.

It’s a story about a Father and a Son having a casual conversation that was as significant, as it was insignificant.

These are the small, often unnoticed moments that make life exciting.

You have one you’d like to share?

43rd

Friday we went to Twistee Treat, like we always do, and our order came out the drive thru window, like it always does (without ordering).

The friendly Twistee Treat employee, Lori (may or may not be her real name), asked, “How’d it go?”

We’ve been going to Twistee Treat for four years and Lori was always there on Mondays and Fridays. For the past year or so though, Lori has a different schedule, we rarely see her.

Quickly, my brain started working overtime to remember what Lori was referring to. Nothing.

So I sort of embarrassingly asked Lori, “How’d what go?”

“The track meet.”

Then it hit me. I gave Lori a Lane 8 business card at some point and must have described the Lane 8 vision. You know, “If your goal isn’t impossible….I don’t care if I get the worst lane and come in last.”

Because I’ve had time to process, and have overcome the reluctance to just spit it out, I was able to come right out with it, “Forty-third. In the world.”

“There were 5,300 athletes from 80 different countries. In my event (400m) alone, there were 63 athletes aged 50-54. Eight of them were Americans. Seven made it to the semi-finals. I was the one that didn’t.”

43rd. In the whole world. Ya with me?

Wellness Challenge?

Wellness Challenge? Today. Tomorrow. Next week. Next month. Next year.

Huh? Exactly. I need to remind myself of this every single day.

Wellness – physical well being – is not something that I can take lightly. Most people understand this. And yet, the pressures of our lives can make it so challenging to be well, that we succumb to the pressure.

What happens next? We all know the answer to this, don’t we?

So, knowing the answer, what are we going to do about it? What am I gonna do about it? What are you going to do about it? Today, I mean. Seriously.

What will your wellness challenge be today? Carpe diem.
