AVOID Negative People..Find Activities That You’ll Enjoy For LIFE & Watch ME For Motivational Clips!
1I Met LTC Ed Yielding in 2015 at Our Annual Veteran's Day Celebration..This One Happened to Be at Our Birmingham Aero Club Near the Airport and It Was an Honor to Talk to This Pioneer of Aviation History, the Pilot Who Flew the LAST SR-71 Blackbird Jet From Palmdale California in 1999 all the Way to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. Where it Sits Today on Display at the Air and Space Museum (Annex)...Still the FASTEST Aircraft Ever Built and Flown, a Remarkable Mach 3.24 Which is Over 2100 MPH..Colonel "Ed" Who is From Florence, Alabama has always been a Pilot I Admired and Helped Motivate Me Through Air Force Pilot Training in 1981 (Phoenix, Arizona)...Such a Nice Person Too...He Told Me He Set 4 World Speed Records That Day...The One That Impressed Me the Most Was the 1 Hour and 4 MInutes It Took Him to Go Coast to Coast! It Always Took Me at Least 5-6 Hours at Around 650 Miles Per Hour....ZZZZZZ! (Wake Me Up When We Get to Atlanta!)...Also, that Inspiring Book By David Goggins is One I Read and Listened to Years Ago and Has Kept Me Going When I Hike or Bike Waaay Out There Remotely (By Myself) and I'm Tired and Hungry and/or Cold or Super Hot (Arizona Trails For Example) and I Have a Moment or Two of Doubt and Wanna Stop or Quit or Turn Around and I Think..."What Would David Goggins Do in This Situation?" KEEP GOING! So I Do, and I Have Perservered and Continued My Journeys Despite Personal Pain or Discomfort...Just Like TWO Days Ago When I Kayaked almost 6 Hours along the Flint River Here in Northern Alabama....Very Challenging for this 69 Year Old "Adventurer"! In Fact, That Kayak Trip I Just Did 48 Hours ago is the LONGEST Kayak Trip I Have EVER Done! Anyway, it Worked Out Even Though I Was Super Tired and Exhausted and Very Sore the Next Day (Saturday Morning)...What Did I Do? Lay in Bed all Day? NO! I Got Up, Stretched for 15-20 Minutes, Took a Nice Hot Shower for 20 Minutes and HEADED TO THE GYM, My Usual "Hangout" as Most of You Can See if You Watch My Clips and Videos Here on the Captain Jeff Channel....So, Stay Positive as You Grow Older, Stay Away From Negative People and Those Who Just Wanna Criticize You and Your Lifestyle and KEEP MOVING, Staying Active as Much as You're Able To...Even if That Means You Get Up and Walk around Your Neighborhood or Bike Around a Local Park in Your City or Region...Find Something Physical You Enjoy and will CONTINUE to Do ALL the Rest of Your LIFE! And...Continue Watching the "Captain Jeff" Channel Right Here for More Exciting Venues and Adventures Around the WORLD! I Encourage ANY Comments You Have About MY Clips and Videos, Positive and Negative Preferring "Constructive Criticism" if You Can But Nonetheless Make Comments if You Like or Even Dislike The Things I Do or Say...My Goal is to Motivate and Inspire, not to Bring You Down or "Show You Up' Physically or Mentally, Just to Be a Positive Influence Like the Teachers and Professors and Pilots I Remember From My Earlier Years Who Have Since Passed But Left an Impact on Me and the Life I Lead Today....Stay Active Team! Captain Jeff, the "Ultimate Adventurer" and Senior Citizen...Defying the Odds One Day at a Time, One Location at a Time, Til My Last Breath!
