Whenever i start to feel sorry for myself

Whenever i start to feel sorry for myself i think of others who would love to have my “worries and concerns”.

Started doing vertical pull-ups last week.

Three sets of two.

For at least a year, i’ve not done pull-ups and a couple of months ago began doing horizontal pull-ups using ropes.

The long way is the short cut.

Note: It’s safe to assume that eliminating a lifelong exercise (pull-ups) is due to injury and pain.

Why do we choose to exercise?

swimming pool fill to the brim
The automatic water level re-fill control isn’t working so the water level was low enough that i had to manually refill about three inches to be safe. About eight inches later, i realized my forgetfulness.

Why do we choose to exercise?

Doesn’t matter why.

What matters is that we choose.

Time equals life; therefore, waste your time and waste of your life, or master your time and master your life.  – Alan Lakein

Makes sense.

Right?

The compound effect from 4 or 5 decades

Granite Park Chalet
Granite Park Chalet sits at 6,700 and is clearly visible here.

If you see yourself as anything other than physically vibrant it’s because of the one simple choice you justify every day.

The choice you make to justify that the daily effort required for vibrant habits is more uncomfortable to you than the daily discomfort from settling for a less than vibrant lifestyle.

Here’s some wisdom from a 60-year old: the magic of compound interest will grow exponentially in the intentional, or the neglectful, daily choices you make during your first four or five decades.

Bank on compound interest, whether you invest or borrow time.
