determination — they only quit (close) for a few hours each morning

Last night I couldn’t wait to go for a five-mile run this morning. This morning, at the one mile mark, wanted to stop and walk. Suddenly, the desire to run five miles had trickled down to turn around and go back – too much to do today and running takes time away from the to-do list.

Photo of Seth Godin's newest book — Taking life one day at a time with gusto is challenging

It’s simply so much easier to do this than to worry about that. Driving home from Gold’s Gym last night, reminded my Son that life has seasons. And that lately I don’t feel like going to the gym – more than I actually feel like going.

The unspoken message was that decent wellness is not an option, it’s a necessity. When it’s ridiculously easier to sit around and relax, don’t.
