Last month, I challenged you to begin planning for those healthy, life-changing moments and experiences by beginning a regular exercise program. I hope that you were able to do so. Based upon the crowded conditions of the HPER, I know that some of you did.
I am now challenging you to maintain those exercise habits that you developed. I can assure you that those habits will create life-changing moments and experiences that will lead to a wonderful world. A world where each of us live every hour to the fullest. Author Giovanni Livera writes in his book, Live a Thousand Years, that no matter what dates are eventually carved on your tombstone, each hour you live can be a magnificent symphony where life is measured by moments and experiences, not clocks and calendars. Developing healthy lifestyle habits will help you live your life to the fullest.
Lastly, I want to thank the hundreds of students who have participated in the feasibility study for a new campus recreation facility. Your input has proven to be most valuable and has driven the entire process. On a personal level, your participation has proven to me once again that the students who attend the University of Arkansas are the best and brightest in the country.
See you in the HPER.
