A few words for Wednesday on Effort

Effort.  Effort alone can be a game changer.  Winston Churchill said, "continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking your true potential."  You do not have to be the strongest, biggest, smartest or fastest; just by expressing more effort, you become a better YOU.  You expand.  You grow.  You reach ambitious goals.  You strive for excellence.  This trait takes you to your ultimate best you.  

 

I apologize that I don't have the source for the above to give proper credit.

 

one thing I would add there is consistent effort

Every. Damn. Day

 

 

 

 

 

2014 Goals

"Where was I going? I puzzled and wondered about it til I actually enjoyed the puzzlement and wondering."
Carl Sandburg, 1878 - 1967

1. Write daily... I'm not looking to knock out the great American novel... just to put down some thoughts. it's my life... why not record the happenings... my thoughts... I might even gain a greater understanding of who I am.

2. weight in the 170s by 1 April - stay there

3. Become a runner again.... the Jax Marathon would be a nice year end goal... but that depends a bit on my cycling... and on mobility and balance

4. Regular work on mobility, strength, and balance... as one approaches 50... I think that this is paramount to being able to continue to pursue my passions

5. Traverse the Pyrenees in Southern France - http://www.pyreneesmultisport.com/2014/pyrenean-traverse/
