Can't Miss Perspectives -- Week Ending July 21, 2007

To say that the last 11 days have thrown a couple of hurdles at me would be a major understatement, hence my prolonged absence.  Thanks for sticking with me and checking back!

As I've suggested numerous times on this site, one of the keys to success -- whether it be in your health and fitness endeavors or in life -- is to remember the basics.  Remember them, and they'll help you stay on your feet when "life happens."  They'll get you back on track and guide you through thick and thin, keeping you on your journey.

Here I am, taking my own advice, and working to get back on track with my attempts at consistent writing.

Enjoy these perspectives:

Michael Collins, at MCNewsletters, gives a great perspective on how to eat well despite a hectic schedule.  A great topic, because there are more than a few people who use busy schedules to make less-than-optimal decisions on a consistent basis.  Check it out here.

John Wesley, author of "Pick the Brain" gave me a motivational boost with a reminder of effective ways to (re)motivate myself.  Feeling unmotivated?  Give this article a read.

Donald Latumahina, on his weblog "Life Optimizer," lists 63 significant quotes from Tim Ferriss'  "The 4-Hour Work Week."  Some great quotes to help catapult me out of my two week obstacle course.  My favorites on the list?  Numbers 7, 8, 13, 16, 20,  53, 54, 62. . . ahh, who am I kidding?  I loved 'em all.
