Four growth rings

From a fascinating TEDx Talk.

The growth starts at the bottom and rises. Chaos is not the goal. The goal is to avoid the two ends, and thrive in complexity – that’s where we learn and grow.

  • Chaos
  • Complexity
  • Order
  • Stagnation

Comfort equals stagnation.

Sleeping in, eating processed foods, avoiding annual checkups, not exercising, you get the picture. Comfort.

Any questions?

Our first action is determining what will be left undone – possibly forever

Albert Einstein quote
Who writes our script? Who also gets to rewrite it?

 

What tradeoffs are we willing to make?

To create time to get (and stay) healthy we have to destroy the time we spent doing some other thing.

This is more important than figuring out exactly what type of exercise we need to do.

Our first action is determining what will be left undone – possibly forever.

Painful?

Yes.

Easy?

No.

Worth the effort?

Only one person can rationalize our answer.

To not work for the better outcome seems selfish on the part of comfort

Heavy traffic on I-4
Which road would we rather travel if given the option to pick?

 

Ever wonder what the difference is in the way we physically, emotionally, and mentally handle arduous stress and pressure when we are in decent physical condition versus not?

To not work for the better outcome seems selfish on the part of comfort.

We are striving for peace and contentment, not comfort. No?
