I "couldn't", because I didn't
I am doing physical training for some extreme events coming up. This kind of training is a great metaphor and example for doing just about anything in life. A few years ago if someone told me to do 20 burpees in a row or 10 pull ups or run…
The "Ping"
That little sensation that causes us to check our text, email or social media; because something out there may be more important than what is right in front of me. Because of the ping, we lose our ability to think deeply and sustain our focus. We lose the ability…
Habits leveraged over time
What could one day matter? And another? And another? If you look at your finances, your career, your health, your relationships - you can see the accumulated effect of habits over time. What could today matter? Today is all we have.
Continuous Partial Attention
We live in a world of streaming distraction. You can't do important work if you don't shut it all down and focus. Go somewhere boring and cut off (shut off) communication to the outside world to do your best work.
"Build your own experience"
Why can one person experience and interpret an event or place one way, and another person experience the exact same thing a completely different way? It's because we all have different beliefs and expectations we built from a lifetime of decisions we made in response to past events to try…
Drinking Problem?
I have heard this more than once - The medical community says that if you don't drink more than two alcoholic drinks a day that you don't have a problem. I found that a little nuts. If I drank two drinks a day - I would have a problem -…
Time slipping away….
Because we were born, we know we will die. We only have this time - this life - these days and hours. Are we making them count? Are we using them to their fullest in our development to realize our potential and make a meaningful contribution? Or are we letting…

Removing Friction in Your Life
If there is friction or resistance in your life, you could use lots of energy each day to overcome it - OR, you could remove the friction. Is it your thinking? The beliefs you created from the story you are telling yourself? A person? Your fitness level? When you remove…
What price are you willing to pay?
Some people have natural talent. Some are smarter. But these things don't guarantee success. The people who are willing to pay the price to succeed will win. They are the ones who will do what it takes, when others quit because it is too hard. What price are you willing…

Brilliant and soooo true
It’s all about ATTITUDE, CONFIDENCE, CONVICTION and DEDICATION!
For the 1st 59 years on earth I said I couldn’t or wouldn’t train to run a 1/2 marathon, that all changed when I ran my 1st 1/2 marathon 4 years ago and just completed my 5th 1/2 marathon in 5 years.
Physical training must be a part of your every day life as you strive to stay ahead of the aging process. It’s a combination of running, lifting weights having the attitude to be the best that you can be. If you dedicate just 1 hour a day/5-7 days a week “I guarantee” you will feel the results and others will comment that they see your progress. There’s almost no better feeling in the world than staying ahead of the “aging process”. After all, you are only as old as you feel, look and act!
Tomorrow is a new day, no more excuses, get ACTIVE!
