How old would you be if you didn\u2019t know how old you were? That was the brilliant question the African American baseball star Leroy \u201cSatchel\u201d Paige once ask.<\/p>\n

How old do you feel right now? Is it the brain or the body that feels age? Many will tell you it\u2019s their body that feels old. They\u2019ll happily tell you every reason why age is making them forget and lose muscle tone. They\u2019ll tell you how age automatically brings pain in the joints and muscles.<\/p>\n

Then again, others will light up the room with enthusiasm, vigor, and almost unstoppable strength like a world-champion Olympian swimmer that I recently met who came to one of my live performances. He\u2019s now 77 and about a month prior added yet another 1st place to his long list of swimming medals.<\/p>\n

You can read about his awe-inspiring career on the internet as his name is Graham M Johnston, a United States Masters Swimmer http:\/\/www.usms.org\/hist\/sto\/index.php?ID=86&srt= . At 75 he set 8 world records at the 11th Fina World Masters Championships in California.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s set dozens and dozens of world records in his long career after having won two Gold and two Silver medals in each the 1950 and 1954 Commonwealth Games held in New Zealand and Canada as a young man that prompted him being selected to represent South Africa in the Olympics. He\u2019s even swam across the Strait of Gibraltor.<\/p>\n

After introducing himself after one of my concerts, we sat down with him, his lovely wife and several of his traveling companions for quite some time. His enthusiasm, charm, and immense energy was inspiring to everyone around him. It was obvious he radiates personal magnetism and powerful self-confidence that radiates into his extraordinary strength throughout his daily life. It\u2019s something you can actually easily acquire with very little practice like my wife teaches in her extraordinary course called the \u201cPizzazz Factor<\/a>\u201d. The sparkle in his eye radiated into his movement, energy, and words of wisdom.<\/p>\n

I asked him many questions about training and what made him a world champion Olympic swimmer. He told me that races are always won by hundredths of a second. He told me that it\u2019s the small things that you do every day that count and that will catapult you above your competition in the heat of the race.<\/p>\n

He said since the beginning of his career, he was always the first one in the pool and the last one to leave. Of course immediately, I wanted to know what motivated him to work like this day after day, year after year, to present. Not surprisingly, he believes just as I do that it\u2019s the mind in most things that must be conquered first before the body.<\/p>\n

He said that many train hard and long but that you need to your brain to think differently, to see differently all the time with new enthusiasm. It\u2019s these things that make the body move differently and rejuvenate it. He said that cultivating enthusiasm in loving what you do and seeing your success in your mind\u2019s eye will create a winner inside and out.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fact that thinking creatively induces more electrochemical energy, and forms new connections to throughout the brain, nervous system, and musculature. Inspired thought patterns remodel nerve endings and improve receptor networks that can directly translate into more physical strength.<\/p>\n

By challenging your brain, body, and senses, to expand with new creative thought patterns along with diligent training, you can slow the aging process and revitalize your body with new found resources of strength and stamina.<\/p>\n

You can replace years of decline with years of growth and purpose by your thoughts and visions of being a champion just in your every day life. You can revitalize your life by creative thinking and enthusiasm one day at a time, second by second. Make each second count with inspired thought. It\u2019s each \u201ctick\u201d that make or break champions.
\nMake \u2018em count! There’s Gold in each second.<\/p>\n

To Your Strength and Mastery,
