Don’t tell me, show me

Logan Pass parking
Five minutes after we arrived, all spaces taken.

 

Highland trail entrance
It’s a deceptively easy trail entrance.

 

Highline trail
About 300 meters into and you realize the level of difficulty spikes.

 

Highline trail
You get used to it after the first time.

 

Highline trail
The first time can be scary.

 

Logan Pass parking
Not only are there no parking spaces, but tension mounts as people drive around.

 

Up early, again. Breakfast at Two Dog Flats. Parked at Logan Pass at 8:45am, just five minutes before all parking spaces were taken. Yes, early bird advantage.

The info-videos say arrive by noon. My goal was between 8:30-9:00am, with a primary goal to be closer to 8:30am versus 9am.

.

PS. 08.05 Friday, final day in Glacier. Breakfast at Two Dog Flats. Logan Pass at 845am (no spaces avail 5 mins later)…hike Highline trail a mile down and back. Watched Six Big Horn Sheep come down from across road. Lunch in room. Packed, checked out at 2pm (no charge) and leisure drive with several stops on Going To The Sun Road. Explore Lake McDonald Lodge…Cobb House, Reading Room, and public dorm rooms. Dinner at Eddies in Apgar…shop. Drive to Kalispel at 730pm to spend the night in town.

Retooling work life balance

Image of open mind
Yesterday’s mail. What about retooling our thinking?

 

What about retooling the way we think about work life balance?

Or have we convinced ourselves it’s impossible?

i was so close to giving up on it in the 1990’s.

Does that seem like the type of example we should be setting for younger generations?

#Attitude

i am taught attitude about optimism by others, who become great examples or stern warnings.

This is also how we teach others who are watching us.

The biggest lesson we teach others is our daily routine

Basketball backboard in American Airlines Arena
We miss 100% of the shots we don’t take. And it’s a mystery why we don’t take more shots.

 

The biggest lesson we teach others is simply the daily routine we lead.

Facebook is filled with inspirational quotes.

Our lives should be a reflection of our aspirations. No?

And we could even go as far as saying it’s littered with inspiration.

And a simple question screams to be asked:

What are we actually doing as a result of reading this daily inspiration to change ourselves?

So much aspiration.

So few results.

Why?

How Does One Stay At The Top Of Their Game For A Lifetime?

Dear Boomer friends, we all know the unfair surprising number of health related challenges midlife brings. High cholesterol struck jeff noel 12 years ago, and with a family history of heart disease, noel needed to refocus on excellent diet and exercise habits.

Diet and exercise gurus teach the “how to” diet, “how to” exercise – this is good. But health gurus, for whatever reason, neglect the critical success factor that noel preaches at Lane 8 – getting healthy is one thing, staying there is a lifetime event.
