For many decades we have believed that running is one of the best exercises we could take up. Now, this view could be dislodged by new scientific findings. A team of scientists found out in a new study that people who frequently run have shorter life spans. Here’s more. The research came up with results showing people who ran a lot, and those who never, have shorter life spans compared to folks who do moderate exercises. What really shocked me is this–the study actually hints that running could actually be unhealthy!  Researchers from the Cardiovascular Research Institute at the Lehigh Valley Health Network, in Pennsylvania, studied more than 3,800 people and discovered that 70% of them ran more than 20 miles per week. To learn more, the team considered the health status of each participant including their medications.

They don’t excuse their short-comings with excuses like “I don’t have the time” or “I’m just not good enough”; they  make  the time and they keep on improving until they  are  good enough. 2. They don’t avoid doing the scary thing. Highly confident people don’t let fear dominate their lives.

1. You only get one body in this lifetime. This mortal body of ours will not be around forever. It is a temporary vessel through which we can briefly experience life on Earth. You only have one body in this lifetime, and there are so many things you can do with it. It would be a shame to throw it away. Would it not be worth it to take good care of your own self? In fact, when people take their own lives, they think that it is the only solution to end suffering. This is simply not true. 2. Suicide is not a problem-solver.
