On true friends
... I've been reading some of the BLOG-comments by BFL champions and I've seen a few guestbook posts too that have commented on how much the EAS team rolled out a red carpet for the Champions over the past weekend. Wow!
... If such news doesn't motivate you, I can't think of anything else that might. I'm particularly moved by comments that reported on how Porter Freeman welcomed the 2004 Champions into the BFL family.
... And then I came across this quote by Eustache Deschamps:
Friends are relatives you make for yourself.
... So what's the point?
... Well I don't know about you, but I've met so, so many good people since discovering the BFL-lifestyle. Some of these folks are official champions. Some are unofficial or true champions. After all, there is just so much physical space in the official winners' circle.
... But always remember that the unofficial winners' circle is quite large. In fact, it's expansive. It includes each and everyone who meets their goals. It includes each and everyone who today is just a little healthier or stronger or leaner than they were just yesterday.
... For in the end, we only compete against ourselves.

Very inspiring, John. I will live today by striving to be a little bit healthier, or stronger, or leaner (or all three!) than I was yesterday.
You, my friend, are a true champion.
