Have a GREAT Tuesday. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Impossible?
Impossible?
Many things seem impossible.
In fact, I think it’s easier to label things as being impossible.
Why?
Because then we don’t have to try.
You know what I think of myself when I actually start to believe that?
Pathetic!
Sorry. The truth hurts. The truth can set us free.
I have some impossible goals ahead of me.
Do you?
Hope so.

Orlando Magic and Disney Magic
Orlando Magic and Disney Magic.
Game three is being played as we speak.
There was a young girl, maybe seven years old, who sang the National Anthem.
My wife told me she is autistic.
While I don’t know the specific story, the summary is there was a time when she couldn’t talk. They discovered her passion to sing.
That changed the course of her life, and the life of her family too.
Who’s to say what’s impossible or possible?

Maybe I’ll read the headlines tomorrow morning and the Orlando Magic will have won tonight’s game. Who’s to say……
Final Answer? Final Post?
OK, my final answer – this is my final post for May 2009.
Duh, it’s May 31, so of course this is the final post this month.
Yes, and!
And moving forward, I’ll be posting periodically, rather than daily.
I’m now just 60 days away from Finland.
Expect some cool, inspiring, and intriguing stuff at Lane 8.
Over ten years ago, I started to get in shape by doing one push-up per day.
The first two years, I also tried to jog, but all I could do was walk.
Now here it is, one week before my 50th birthday, and I’m heading to the Master’s Track & Field World Championships in Finland, in 60 days.
I got to this level of accomplishment by applying what I teach.
Seriously.
Hey, I better get going. Promised myself a nap. I better get started. Carpe diem, jeff noel, aka jungle jeff 🙂
Blessed Beast?
Yesterday morning, as I was returning from a run, a neighborhood middle school boy was waiting for his school bus.
As I was slowly running by, on the cool down portion, I said to him spontaneously, “Just do it! I could talk about exercising. I could think about exercising. I could hope to exercise. Or, I can just do it!”
He replied rather spontaneously, “You’re a beast“!
He meant it as a compliment. My body fat is around eight percent. I was shirtless and had that sweaty sheen from five good miles, plus the early Florida morning humidity.
I thought for a moment, and yelled back, “A blessed Beast“!
His Father is a Pastor, and I’m a life-long Disney advocate, and I was making a play on religion and the Disney classic, Beauty and the Beast.
Oh well, guess you had to be there.
If you don’t exercise, but want to, try something creative. Do something easy. A goal so small, you can’t fail. Do it five days in a row.
The following week, do just a hair more, for five more days.
Repeat this process week after week and guess where you’ll be a year from now?
Like it or not, you are responsible for your health. Ignoring this doesn’t make it go away.
No male on my Dad’s side made it past 60 years. I’ll be 50 in a couple weeks. Ever thought how you’d live your life if you only had ten years left?
