Today’s exercise calls for active rest. Good thing too. No time for running this morning while putting finishing touches on a transformational keynote speech.

Active rest is a reward for our body – recovery, recuperation.

Transformational in a way.

With exercise or with organizational culture, transformation happens best when it is slow and steady, relentless and unwavering, honest and true.

You’re gonna get hit

Taking risks is risky. So is playing it safe.

 

Running yesterday, from an old white pickup truck full of construction workers on the opposite side came a shout from across the highway, “You’re gonna get hit.”

A smile came to the face, and peace filled the spirit. We can also say that driving increases our chances of being involved in a highway accident. Flying increases our odds of a plane crash (some people never fly because of this pervasive fear).

We could also have a serious health accident from high blood pressure, poor cholesterol, and so on.

Pick our poison, eh?

Yesterday…

Me: Would you like to go to lunch for some chicken nuggets (Chick-fil-A reference)?

Friend: No, I have pop tarts. I need to lose 20 pounds.

Me: Pop tarts?

Friend: Yeah, I’ve gained 20 pounds in the past year.

Me: (can’t recall the rest of the conversation because we quickly moved on because we were both pressed for time)

I probably said some dumb thing like “the new pop-tart diet, eh?”

Friend: I’m taking your approach.

Me: Huh?

Friend: Began with one push up a day for a week and each week I’ve added one more push up per day.

Me: That’s great. How long have you been doing that?

Friend: Twelve weeks.

Me: So you’re doing 12 push ups a day?

Friend: Yes.
