Fullfilling Your Potential

"To realize one's nature perfectly — that is what each of us is here for."– Oscar Wilde

Our contemporary American culture often depicts middle-agers as overweight, medicated sedentary spectators who are complacent with an inactive electronic lifestyle. It is important to defy and challenge this non-flattering perception, and there is certainly a different way to view retirement and the aging process. Science has found a positive correlation between passion, fitness, sports activities, and being healthier and more fulfilled.

Because life expectancy is declining in our society as a result of obesity, high blood pressure, and stroke related issues, it’s important to create a better lifestyle by adjusting both attitude and behavior. “It Has Nothing To Do With Age” is the first book to provide in rich  detail how to think “outside the box” by providing examples of how older individuals can push their physical, mental, and emotional limits to new frontiers and why they do it. The book focuses on individuals who are optimistic, competitive, and perform at unfathomable levels in grueling events. Their intriguing stories demonstrate human evolution to a higher and more proficient level of physical and mental functioning, as well as their unselfish societal contributions.

Follow the books unique content as you read about eight athletes who compete in the following sporting events:  the Tevis Cup ( a 100 mile one-day horse race across the Sierra Nevada mountains), the Western states 100 mile run( a one day running race in the Sierra Nevada mountains), the Swanton  Pacific 100 mile ride and tie(  a one day event featuring horses and riders-runners), the Dipsea ( America’s oldest trail  running race), the Hawaiian Iron man( swim, bike and run), the Molokai to Oahu  Outrigger canoe race, and national and international rowing and sculling.

Not only will you learn about these various sporting events, but you’ll also receive information on how to participate in these events as well. Discover your own potential or greatness by reading about and following the path of others.
