Racing is life
Today I give you my race report. As you may know I raced the SanFelipe 250 - a 285 mile race in Baja. The terrain there is especially difficult. Besides 25,000 whoope (big bumps) there were several tight canyon washes with very intimidating boulder gardens and rock falls to ride…

Racing is life
Today I give you my race report. As you may know I raced the SanFelipe 250 – a 285 mile race in Baja. The terrain there is especially difficult. Besides 25,000 whoope (big bumps) there were several tight canyon washes with very intimidating boulder gardens and rock falls to ride through somehow.
Racing is like life. Especially long-distance racing.
There is preparation. I worked out a lot – even when I didn’t want to. Once I started though, I got into it each time.
There is teamwork – I have a great team to build (rebuild) the bike and to chase me throughout the race.
There is inspiration and motivation – you have to make decisions to get involved and take action.
Perseverance – you have to keep going even when the feeling you had to do a thing has long since left you.
There is acting in the face of fear – giant rocks to ride over – got to gas it and beat them.
There is competition – it brings out the best in you to try to beat them.
There are setbacks – the second day of prerunning things were going good and I made a mistake when dropping off a 4-foot step. I landed on an off-camber spot with loose rocks and my front wheel washed out. I crashed and hit the back of my right hand on a rock. It broke an artery in my hand below the skin and within a minute there was a big ball of blood under my skin. I was 35 miles from the truck. I got lightheaded. I didn’t know how much blood would accumulate under my skin or how dangerous it was. I had to ride out.
There is danger – when 1000 horsepower trophy trucks pass you at 3x your speed, it’s scary. You have to get off the course fast. The first few usually have helicopters that buzz you at very low altitudes to tell you the fury that is coming within seconds.
I started at 6:30 am, determined to run my own race and keep my heart rate in the optimal zone – not too high.
My hands ached for the first 80 miles, especially the injured one. After that they settled in. I was in second place out of three teams. The leader had four fast guys. When you have a team you can sprint and give it your all for 70 miles and give the bike to the next guy. I was solo racing against two teams.
Things went pretty well for the next 130 miles. I knew the rocks in Hatamote Wash were coming at mile 210. Oh boy… When I got there I did not delay. I hit a steep rocky hillclimb that terminated into boulders at the top. Drop back down into 100 feet of deep sand, then pick a line through boulders the size of microwave ovens. I drop the bike once. Gas is leaking out. Pick it up quick – don’t want to run out of gas. Make it through those boulders. 100 more feet of deep loose sand. Then giant ledges on the left and giant boulders on the right. I choose the ledges. Good choice. Navigate over and back down to the sand and rock gardens – made it!
Fifteen miles from the finish I see one of my chase trucks. They had to drive in 30 minutes over deep sand whoops to get there to see me. I stop for 2 seconds and say “I’m good!” and I go on. One minute later I hear a bike coming alongside me. I look – it’s 513x – my competition! Ut oh!
At first, I wonder if I have enough left to put up a fight – and what he’s got for me. I have to try. We were in sand whoops that flowed fairly well. I kick it up two notches and pass him. I couldn’t look back – I needed all my concentration on the terrain. I pretended he was right on my butt. I rode faster and better than in the whole race. I had trained well and had something for him at the end. I had the skills to handle the bike at speed in deep whoops and drop offs.
Two miles to go. A vast silt fields opens before me. I skirt the edges – still deep, downshifting and getting all the horsepower I could. The deep silt turned to deep silt whoops. One mile to go. Sand dunes now. The locals built a jump for show. I hit it to celebrate. Pavement. Two blocks. Police making sure no traffic is on the racecourse. Fans line the course. Last turn onto the Malecon – the beachfront boulevard where it starts and ends. No 513x. I did it. I beat a team by myself.
I roll across the finish line with my hands in the air. Relief. Joy. Proud of what I had done. Happy for what it did to me.
My wife and friends are there.
Big deep smiles all around.
Life.

Active Pursuit
You can learn a lot, and many people do.
You can wish and hope a lot, and many people do.
You can get ready all you want.
But there is no substitute for action.
Action is the faster way to learn. When you mix it with healthy doses of reading and listening to the few who have really done it before, you will make forward progress.
The world cannot resist someone with clear goals, courage, and persistence who is in ACTIVE PURSUIT.
“The fool, with all his other faults, has this also—he is always getting ready to live.” – Seneca
Live immediately.
Struggling with this right now. My daughter is about to start college. She has to decide between an inexpensive, known college for her major or pursue her dreams in a private college where she may have a long shot at a crazy dream. My common sense says follow the path of little to no debt and keep your feet on the ground but it’s hard to tell her give up on her pursuit. Especially to someone as dilligent and focused as her.

Then there is common sense. This is what the average people have.
Then there is uncommon sense. This is what you’ll need to go beyond average.
Learn a lot about what you want. Take action and learn from it. Think and study a lot. Talk to masters who embody qualities of what you want.
Then depart from the common thinking, and go for it.
Be uncommonly great!
The thing that I find is the most uncommon is common sense.
This is awesome! Thank you.

Limits are not outside of you…
Your limitations are not on the outside of you, they are on the inside of you.
They are yours to throw out.
So what is that limitation that has been holding you back?
What do you say – keep it or work hard enough and do what it takes to blow through it like it doesn’t exist?
Good Morning my friend!
Woot woot! Let’s do this!

OLD you/NEW you. Choose just ONE.

If you want it bad enough….
If you want it bad enough and put in the work then you can do a LOT – far more than you think, and certainly far more than most people expect. But it’s not about anyone else. It’s about you.
What’s inside you? What ambition? What drive? What courage? How strong is it?
If your desire is as big as the challenge, you can do it.
Praying for a safe a successful race for you Larry.
Go get em Larry! Good luck!
Good luck tomorrow!
Good luck Larry, go get it!!
Good luck in the race Larry. Ride it like you stole it! 🙂
I’ll be praying for you Larry. I’m also a little envious. It sounds like a great ride and adventure!
Good luck my friend be safe!!!
Best wishes Larry. Two down One Up!
Go get em’ Larry! Have a great race.
Rooting for you! Go give em hell!
Good Luck tomorrow. I’m used to looking for 714 – that’s for letting us know about the different number.

Good Luck Larry!
Good luck Larry!
Best of luck Larry!
Good luck!

This is your life!
Grab the wheel and own it!
Become your own therapist
When the mind studies the mind you can understand how you work.
That’s pretty important and very valuable if you can do it.
Become your own therapist.
Can you stop and think about why you reacted that way, if it was necessary, what would be better for you, and make that change?
Thanks for the thoughts on thoughts! 🙂
The sooner that you can catch the thought or emotion that arises, the easier it is to take a look at it and analyze it. It takes a lot of practice and patience.
It can be very therapeutic to write your first response out …. read it to your self or out loud and then re-write in a way that will serve you better. A great way of letting go of feelings that don’t serve you.

Confidence leads to more success
Confidence is earned, developed, and grown.
Confidence is an established belief in you about your own abilities based on prior results.
When you prepare and practice, you know you can do it; so when it’s game time, show time, risk time, real time, or time to do it in front of others, you are confident.
Step into fear – take action – develop skills.
Success begets confidence, and confidence leads to even more success.
Go do the thing – that develops confidence.
Hi Larry,
Today we are role playing and practicing. Developing skills and building confidence.
Cheers to a well-timed note.
I look forward to your columns and I have applied them to my way of thinking. Thanks Doug
Good Morning Larry! Think daily is the first thing I read and a daily discussion at Master, we’re all thankful for you!
Good Morning Larry!! Have a great day!
Good morning Larry. I am just wrapping up a ski trip with my daughter. Enjoy the experience!! Taught my daughter to ski many years ago and we still enjoy skiing together. Appreciate your daily words of wisdom!!
Hi Larry. Wanted to say I really enjoy working for this company. It’s a breathe of fresh air after working for that other company in Indiana.
Thanks for taking the time to join us yesterday with our Real Estate response team meeting.
Visit often
I’ve been reading Think Daily since 2014 but this is the first time I’ve ever left a comment. I really enjoy these thoughts every morning, and Think Daily has become part of my morning routine. I even got my wife signed up! Thanks for the daily inspiration!
How remarkable it is how that works! As we always said in sports: What you do in practice, you do in the game.
Thanks, Larry for keeping it going.
P. S. When my kids see you on CN Learn they yell, “It’s Dr. Energy Saver!” 😂
Looking forward to these every day. Really makes me stop and reevaluate my life for the better.
Hi once in a while! 🤩
Hi Larry! I came across you on YouTube and signed up for your daily emails. I wanted to pass along how much I enjoy them. A lot of them seem to coincide with Stoic principles .. a philosophy I’ve been studying and putting into practice for several years. Thanks and keep on keeping on.
Hello! and Thank you ! just what I needed today. Excellent way to start my day. Greetings from Knoxville, TN and the Master Team.
Hello! Think Daily is my first email I read every morning to get my day started off on the right track.
Hi Larry, hope you have a great day. I read your blogs everyday and I’m grateful for them, although I don’t comment all the time!!
Yes! Several years of reading Think Daily continues to inspire me. Thank you!
I enjoy your daily reminders. I try to read them as I begin each day. Thank you for taking AND making the time to do this.
Confidence is a huge pillar, and it helps one move forward. The other one that goes hand in hand is self-confidence—the ability to get things done without knowing everything, but feeling confident in your abilities.
Hi Larry,
I have been enjoying both of your blogs for a number of years now. I believe, since think daily started. I have been truly blessed by the insight and practical application. I have referred a number of people also to your blogs and will continue to do so.
Be blessed my friend!
Hi, Larry!
Challenge accepted! “👋 HI friend!”
I greatly enjoy all of your ThinkDaily postings! Thank you for taking the time and sharing your wisdom. It’s a great thing you do and I wish more people would do the same. The world would be a much better place if more people would spend the time to selflessly help others.
Teaching my children to ski is one of the best investments I’ve made. So many excellent adventures together!
Amy and I have been reading these since 2012. First thing I read in the mornings and they have helped me so much. You are the best mentor a contractor could have. Very grateful for you and all you’ve done to help bless our family and help to change our lives in ways we couldn’t have imagined without your support. THANK YOU LARRY!!
Thank you, Larry. Confidence is earned, developed and grown! As you develop it you are emboldened to take action to learn new things. It’s a great gift we give ourselves.
Only wish I’d known about this years before, the little issues would have been handled better. It’s been enlightening

Your poison, or your fuel?
In the grand scheme of life, the adversity you have had doesn’t matter – only how you handle it.
How are you handling it?
Do you turn adversity into strength, opportunity, and/or mental toughness?
Is adversity your poison or your fuel?
Good Morning, Larry. I note the colorful writing in your heading picture – might that be the product of Energel pens in your journal? 😉
Have a great day!
Good morning from Buffalo!
Fuel!
Love this
I am a strong believer that I am 100 % accountable for everything that comes in my space, every moment, and every thing that happens to me happens so that I can either rise above or give in and decide that I’ve reached as far as I want to go.
For me there is always more, there is always more to learn. And so therefore, I’ll keep pushing myself every day, in every way.
I think I rise well to adversity, but just this year I am finding a new path in the day to day PIA issues or tasks. Previously they’d bring me down, now I am seeing them as our windows to our growth and improvement path. And generally just handing them better. I think a lot of that has to do with the amazing team support we have in place.

Good sleep makes life better when you are awake!
Don’t forget sleep. Do more of it.
Sleep does a body very, very good!
It heals the body and makes the mind sharper.
Don’t give your sleep time away to screens or anything else.
Sleep enough – it makes life better when you are awake!
Sleep is our superpower.
Here is how I studied for a test. Early in the evening, I reviewed my notes and on a separate pad, wrote down key phrases and answers I thought would be on the test. Write them several time. Then, go to bed early enough to give you a good night’s sleep. During your sleep, your brain will file away what you experienced during your waking hours. If your sleep is sparse, you will not be able to do this. Don’t cram all night and expect to ace the test!
I’m sleeping in tomorrow!

How to reduce stress
How to reduce stress –
Do what you have been putting off.
Quit trying to control everything.
Do what you can, give up what you can’t.
Lighten up – stop taking yourself so seriously.
Get more sleep.
Breathe.
Go outside in nature.
This too shall pass. In 10 years you won’t even remember what you’re stressed out about today.
This one I screen shot, keeping in phone
Something I do in reflection. If I am so lucky at 80, 90 or even 100, my family gathered around me as I’m taking my last breaths; This action or nonaction, how would I feel? Happy, sad, proud or ashamed.
Needed this today!! Thanks Larry!!!
Good Stuff! I needed this today. Thanks for sharing.
Yes to all, especially Nature – Get Outside!
Go, Robin!
This such sound advice. That’s it in a nutshell. You can go to life coaches, consultants, ect, ect. But there it is, key points. Great advice for how to live, not just business. Thank you for sharing!!
Simple…Quit working and move to FLA like I did. BEST MOVE IVE EVER MADE

Who's to blame?
What percentage of the blame for the problems you have is you?
(If you don’t think it’s 100, just go back a little farther.)
They say the easiest way to solve a problem is to stop participating in the problem.
This would be an excellent question to ask our President and elected officials in Washington!
I’ve known for a while now “For things to change I must change.” So therefore I must take 100% accountability for what happens around me, otherwise, I have to wait for other things to change, and I can not. But if it’s all my fault, if it’s all on me, I can change and rise to the occasion.

How to change your life
This is from my School of Entrepreneurship class called “How to Change your Life”.
How do you do it – you change the variables.
Here they are –
1) What you learn.
2) The people around you. (Some, probably not all.)
3) Your environment – where you go and where you spend time.
4) How you view the past – what you make it mean and the stories you tell yourself about the world and about people – especially about yourself.
Change those things for the better and your life changes for the better.
Which ones do you need to change?
“Hey Larry,” thank you for the greetings today to Salespeople.
++Salesman Scott
Proud to be called a salesperson!
Change is one of life’s great gifts – stay open to learning, growing and new opportunities!

The easy way to success
Sorry, there is no easy way to success.
Except one.
The easy way is to learn how to live the hard way.
The easy way is to embrace the discomfort and the work – to thrive on it.
The easy way is to learn all the time, try all the time, and give it your best even when you don’t feel like it.
The easy way to succeed is to love the process, no matter how hard it may seem.
Todays post is perfectly aligned with my current thinking. Thanks for putting it into words. Today I am grateful for written words that inspire actions. Thanks.
Counterintuitive…the hard is what makes the easy.
Today I’m starting my New Life
Congratulations!!!
Well done Larry!! You are the eitome of ‘living life’!! You are an inspiration!!

Glad you made it Larry! Love reading these stories.
Congratulations on another successful race in Baja!!
Congratulations Larry!!! I know firsthand how hard it is to finish any SCORE Baja Event, and the 250 is brutal for the whoops. Most people have no idea how hard it is. Your success shows your determination and grit to get the job completed. I will say…I was utterly floored to read you were on two wheels, not four!!! Double congrats, sir!
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations, Larry!
Congratulations for taking on the challenge and completing it. Keep doing hard things.
Congrats, Larry!
Congrats, Larry! I’m proud of all your accomplishments and victories! Way to go! Happy Good Friday!

Larry, congratulations! I imagine that was one of the biggest and most memorable goals you’ve accomplished in life, thus far. I appreciate you and your daily wisdoms. Thank you, Margi Raupp
Congratulations Larry!
Always wanted to race in the desert but deserts are hard to come by in Nebraska lol. I do however follow Baja and the Dakar Rally. I started riding in 1968 and racing MX in 73 and still riding single track, Dualsport and racing GPs, Enduro and Trials with more focus than ever, at age 65. My next step is to get a Kove 450 or 800 and do some non comp Rally events with the Off Piste Adventure group.
I have been getting your daily emails for several years now and foreword many of them to my daughter and son, keep up the good work and Thanks
Regards
Roger
