Personal Development Objectives And Keith Richard

I just heard on the radio when driving in my car this morning that Keith Richard of the legendary rock band, The Rolling Stones, has signed off on his official autobiography and there are plans to make a movie out of it.

There has always been the joke that someday, they should study Keith Richard’s physiology (especially his brain and immune system) to find out why he’s still alive after abusing his body the way he has been for decades.  This is a guy who should have been dead a long time ago but he’s still alive and kicking!

I have seen The Rolling Stones perform live in concert once and it was way back during the mid 1990s in Toronto.   Although I do like many of their songs, I’m not a hard-core Stones fan.  I went to see them because everyone thought that it was going to be their last tour.

Who would have guessed that The Rolling Stones would still be around today, particularly Keith Richard?  Certainly from a longevity point of view, they have to be deeply respected.

Back to Keith Richard in a moment.

All About Longevity For Personal Development Objectives

Now speaking of longevity, that’s what personal development should be as well.  When you are setting any personal development objectives and especially lifestyle changes, they should be for the long term rather than the short term.

Short term thinkers like those who want to go on quick diets just to lose weight will soon realize that even if they are successful in shedding some weight, will gain it all back once they go off these temporary diets.

That’s why diets do not work unless it’s part of a permanent lifestyle change.  Those who manage to keep excess weight off for good are the ones who make lifestyle changes for the long term, i.e., permanent.

I’ve been on a relatively low fat diet since my late teens.  I didn’t plan on going on it for the short term.  Thirty years later, I’m still on it and this is one of the major reasons why at my age, I still have a thirty inch waistline.   Of course, exercise plays a major role as well.

So if you are planning to make changes to improve yourself in any way, make sure that they are for the long term.  LONGEVITY is the key.

Vote On Who Should Play Keith Richard

Now back to Keith Richard.  Needless to say, a movie about his colourful life will certainly be quite interesting.  The question is – who will play the role of Keith Richard in the movie?

For me, the first actor who comes into mind would be Johnny Depp, especially given the way he does his Captain Jack Sparrow character in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean‘ films.  I think Depp would do an awesome Keith Richard!
