A Nice Quotation About Changing One's Life
I'm here in Minneapolis and have just checked in for the Life Time
Fitness conference. The welcome letter has a quotation I like at the top, from James Belasco's Flight of the Buffalo: "Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up." Given the book this is from, I'm sure the quotation is about changing management/business strategies, but it also seems very applicable to personal change such as weight loss, fitness, and lifestyle that goes with it.

Chris 262/130s/130s I like that! Let us know how the conference goes. Beverly Well, there was an awesome start this morning -- a talk and film presentation by Dick Hoyt. He's the guy who does marathons while pushing his quadriplegic son in a wheelchair. He also does triathlons -- swimming while towing son in a rubber boat behind him, biking with a bike where the son is seated in front of him. They also biked across the country this way. Dick is 67 years old, and does 30 or so events a year -- amazing stuff. Makes me feel pretty dumb to put myself up as an example of anything! Chris 262/130s/130s |
