  1. This blog post from Opex today hit me hard this morning. I hope y’all do not mind me sharing:
    “Live a Larger Life
    I wake up every day. I stretch. I eat my breakfast. My wife and kids wake up. I hug each of them with purpose and meaning. I prepare my clothes and work stuff, pack my bags, kiss them all good bye and start my work day.
    I drive to work, drink my coffee, settle into my gym and begin the daily practice. I truly enjoy my day. Sometimes though along all persons journeys, there are tough times. These times are always larger than life, small but stingers, etc…but they hurt in some way.
    I have lost some of my closest mentors over the past few years – Bernie Novokowsky and (Shaman) Manfred Lukas. Both have instilled in me what took me years to recognize – “life is hard work, its a struggle, get over it”. So simple yet so powerful. It makes that reflection on that and those times of pain easier – I can laugh and know that I am still gonna get up tomorrow and see my kids and hold my wife.
    For some, like my friend Jason Fine (above), those days are numbered. Like 30+ days.
    Imagine if you had an opportunity to speak to someone as courageous as this so close to the “possible” end. What would you ask?
    I had this opportunity. I asked him how does one deal with that being so close. After all I am a very inquisitive person at heart and am deeply involved in purpose.
    You know what he tells me?
    “Its tough man. But you know who its hard for? Those around me. And you know what, I’m nicer now to people. I am giving hugs away at the cancer center.”
    I mean, what the @#$% right? WTF!!!
    This guy is the epitome of human nature.
    Everyone has tough times. But what are you willing to stress over, create fear over, create anxiety over…etc…that YOU control, that you are willing to not keep striving to be better, to live more fulfilling, to live with purpose, to share your gifts, to FIND your gifts…I mean c’mon people. WTF right?
    Hats off to you Jason. If its any consolation the legacy you have created is this – I will fight. I will share. I will not stress over the small stuff. I’ll find purpose. I will.
    So drive that speedy BMW with one good eye and a numb foot like no one is watching. Smile. You’ve created something that my community will promise to challenge themselves on through fitness.
