Do you know who Usain Bolt is?
If you do not, he is a runner and the current World record holder in both the men’s 100m and 200m track events. Not only is he considered to be the fastest man alive, but he may be the fastest man EVER.
The fastest man EVER exemplifies one of the biggest secrets to living a happy and healthy life we have ever seen. It is a secret that is sadly overlooked by most people.
What is this “secret?”
First, you have to understand that Usain Bolt broke the World record for the 100 meter dash in 2008 with a time of 9.72 seconds. The previous world record was set less than one year before with a time of 9.74 seconds.
If you look at those times, the new World record is only .02 second better. That is about 1/50th of a second. According to scientists, 1/10th of a second is the approximate time it takes to blink an eye. 1/50th of a second is five times faster.
So, literally, a fraction of the time it takes to blink an eye is the difference between being a famous World record holder and no one knowing your name.
What does this have to do with you? Plenty, actually. Most things in life work the same way. Achieving happiness and good health are not BIG THINGS that happen all at once. They are an accumulation of small things done consistently over time.
Usain Bolt trained years and years and years to shave fractions of seconds off his personal best time, and all those small things he did eventually made him the fastest man EVER.
For example, eating some vegetables or fruit instead of a candy bar is a small thing. In the whole scheme of things, just one candy bar may not make a long term difference to your health or wellbeing. But, if you the right things every day, you’ll improve your personal best. You’ll have a victory. You’ll have better health.
The same goes for exercise. Every day you choose to go walking, or hit the gym, or whatever, over sitting on the couch and watching TV, it’s one more fraction of a second building up towards your victory of being in shape.
Make no mistake about it – tiny, seemingly inconsequential things add up over time and can make all the difference in the world.
What small thing can you do TODAY to start yourself on the path to being the happiest and healthiest person EVER?
