Jack LaLanne, the fitness celebrity who inspired television viewers to slim down, to eat more healthfully and to weight train regularly, long before diet and exercise was cool, or even thought to be especially intelligent for longevity, finally died Sunday of pneumonia; he was 96 years old. He stated several years ago that he couldn’t die, because it would wreck his image. I thought then, that he had a helluva challenge before him to avoid that image problem.
Important to Note: This is what dying of “old age” looks like… not by degenerative diseases such as Heart Disease, Stroke, Cancer or Diabetes.

Everyday is one more opportunity to keep the promise I made to myself nearly 25 years ago… to challenge myself physically everyday (specifically, don’t waste time, no unspent youth) and to continue to push for wisdom and intelligence beyond the everyday average. On the verge of turning 40 now, I actually look forward to it, this aging process. The challenge of pushing myself physically continues to get steeper and although my body isn’t what it was capable of when I was 25 I don’t really care, because my mind is certainly stronger and willing to assume a more responsible role in this fight now.
To know me well, is to know that I’m even more then I present myself to be… even when no one is looking.
