RIP: Jack LaLanne, the Original Self Master Driven by what often seems to be otherworldly inspiration, fueled by a superhuman capacity for self-discipline and self-control, these individuals prove what’s possible for all of us through their own passion, blood, sweat, and tears. It is a rare individual who strives to achieve goals beyond the ordinary. It is an even rarer individual who sets such goals—goals that no one else has yet achieved—and actually succeeds. And it’s a rarer individual still who sets extraordinary goals and, after he or she has attained them, continues to set even higher goals and continues to strive for success. Now add to this picture the aging process. And then try to imagine what it would be like to relentlessly strive for excellence and higher achievements even as one passes into a phase of life that is far beyond what is normally considered one’s prime.

Such individuals are rare indeed. I wish for all to have such a role model in their life! http://magazine.enlightennext.org/2011/01/24/jack-lalanne-the-original-self-master/
