The rarity is making it acceptable

Steve Jobs quote
There’s a time and a place for everything.

 

No gym two days ago. No run this morning.

Rare in retirement to miss either.

Why?

Because i’m so much more in control of my time.

Some recent entrepreneurial deadlines have put pressure on this retirement luxury.

Because it rarely happens, i’m not going to sweat it.

In the midst of focus and discipline is compromise and creativity.

The morning required more time than i hoped, so the run was cut short by 30 minutes. Still, at 50+ minutes, it was a run to be grateful for.

If people knew how hard i worked to live vibrantly, they wouldn’t think is was so magical after all.

The time is going to pass whether we exercise or not.

Why not exercise?

The last day we exercise is the healthiest we will ever be for the rest of our lives.

If everyone thinks it’s ok, it must be ok

Metaphorically speaking, if left unattended our physical health deteriorates so slowly, we never notice.

And if we are not careful, we come to accept this neglected state as acceptable.
