celebrate you
Ben Lecomte
T
he atmosphere in Ben Lecomte's
world is becoming tense. So
tense that you can feel it. While
the man himself may be patient, his fans
are hanging tight with eyes wide open.
You could say that they are fiddling but
patiently waiting for the moment when
Ben says, "It's time." And Ben, he is as
calm as ever. His focus is as sharp as a
laser, and he cannot be sidetracked. If
you have not been following Ben and are
wondering who he is, he is the guy who is
training to swim the Pacific Ocean. I know
what you are thinking: no worries, there!
Ben is used to this, because he already
swam the Atlantic Ocean.
As I follow Ben and study his behavior, I
am learning things I would recommend
that you try. After all, what have you got
to lose? You have a lot to gain, at least
for your health, and who knows, that
could mean a few more years added to
your lifespan, assuming you care about
longevity. And if not, perhaps you care
about simply being healthy. Whatever
the reason, at some point in time, we all
need some motivation and inspiration,
especially when it feels as though we have
reached a dead end or we feel trapped
and we see no way out. Sometimes the
small, simple things get us through what
may seem like a brick wall. So, breathe and
relax. That is your first task. Now, let us
begin this journey with Ben.
As we travel together, I will give you some
pointers to help you along the way.
