How would you answer this potentially trick question?

How would you answer this (potentially) trick question?

Would you rather be the slowest of the fastest or the fastest of the slowest?

Try re-reading it if the obvious answer doesn’t jump out.

How we answer is where we set the bar in life, in general.

Life’s first two big choices covered for today, now the third big choice gets it’s shot here.

 

Physical law of attraction

Excellence begets excellence

 

The law of attraction and the cliche birds of a feather flock together mean the same thing.

We attract and associate with others who are similar to us.

If we think, mumble, pronounce, “I hate exercise”, it’s time to look in the mirror, and get over it.

It may also be time to look for new friends (in extreme cases), or to convince our friends it’s time for a new look (more likely).

We’ve covered mental and physical, now scoot over to emotional (spiritual), click go.

 

Our health should take a back seat to nothing

Our health should take a back seat to nothing.

Health is wealth. – Anna Felegy (my wife’s Grammy, RIP 1989)

Repetition is the mother of all learning.

Our health should take a back seat to nothing.

We must constantly resist the temptation to give up what we want most

We must constantly resist the temptation to give up what we want most, for what we want right now.

If you regularly exercise, and I don’t mean some bull crap casual “exercise”, well done.

If you haven’t regularly exercised in so long you can’t remember, may I ask a sincere, and direct question?

Why the hell not?

Sorry, someone close to me committed suicide two days ago, and the things I normally worry about – like asking pointed, but extraordinarily important questions – are things today that don’t seem too worrisome in the big picture.
