The race through life often has no explainable finish line

These are the shelves for all the things we truly know about ourselves

 

Yesterday the 50-year old said he is going back to school.

Asked him why? And asked him how much time he spends in introspective thought. He said seconds, meaning almost zero.

We race through life.

If we don’t have time to think, we can guarantee we don’t have time to exercise.

One of the beauties of exercise is it also provides glorious thinking time.

We know this.

Are we drowning in our own vomit?

Lector reading
Some people receive revelations because they pay attention to things others ignore

 

Brothers and sisters, are we drowning in our own vomit?

Each day, week, month, year, decade we neglect our physical health is another moment closer to ruin.

We know this.

Four deadly things the herd loves

Fully stocked Movie Theater candy counter
So easy to indulge when you live in a first world country

 

The herd loves:

  • excess
  • distractions
  • medications
  • entertainment

The movement loves these things too, just differently.

In moderation.

And self-control.

Because the payoff is exponentially higher, which seems out of reach to the herd.

Mental attitude and physical wellbeing are blood relatives

Mental attitude and physical wellbeing are blood relatives.

Jogged yesterday morning. Tripped and fell hard on the sidewalk. Brush burn on hip, hurt left shoulder, ripped holes in both gloves (it was 45 degrees in Orlando), and smashed the new iPhone 5s.

Jason, the Terminix driver, shouted as I lie on the ground, ‘Are you okay?”

It took a few minutes, but the attitude went from:

  • let’s sue for damages and neglect to…
  • thank goodness this wasn’t a car accident and no ambulance/hospital is needed

When we are balanced, we detach from old, societal habits quickly.

The peace and joy we gain is beyond the ability to articulate.
