The secret to a long and healthy life is to be stress-free. Be grateful for everything you have, stay away from people who are negative, stay smiling and keep running. — Fauja Singh, 100-yr-old Marathoner

~~~~ Good News of the Day: Most people hang up their boots as they get older, but Fauja Singh only began running in his eighties. At the age of 94, he ran a full marathon in less than 5 hours, but on 16 Oct 2011, at the age of 100, he still has it in him. Singh did what no other person has done: he became the oldest person and the first centenarian to finish a marathon. Along the way, he’s received sponsorship deals, but he donates it all. “I’m not really interested in all the rupees, I give it to charity,” he says of his sponsorship deal. “Money can be saved and spent and lost and made. At my age it’s nice just to do this. […] Look how blessed I am. What’s not to be happy about?” http://premiere.whatcounts.com/t?ctl=1699F86:C3009629A010612CD391BE7AAB2AFD84B4B847859706E37D&

~~~~ Be The Change: Do something that gives you meaning and joy, regardless of whether you think you’re too old or too young.
