Who wants to do anything insignificant?

young acorn
Noticed this year’s budding acorns for the first time yesterday. In a few months, the green center will consume the brown outer shell. Few people realize it ever looks like this. i didn’t.

 

caterpillar on wall
On the tall block wall, this caterpillar stood out. It’s colored to blend in with nature. The wall is not nature. Photo angle is looking down at the ground (three feet away).

 

apple odometer
Just over two miles to walk to the gym yesterday.

 

The daily incremental improvement is discounted because it’s so small.

Insignificant.

Who wants to do anything that’s insignificant?

Literally no one.

And yet, really, is there an easier way to significant improvement?

To eat, rest, and move with great expectation is glorious

Cozumel Jeep excursion
“Mayan ruin” in Cozumel. Your body is the temple housing everything keeping you alive.

 

To eat, rest, and move with great expectation is glorious.

Knowing you are intentionally creating lifetime wellness habits frees you from the burden of being unintentional and at risk.

Sure, there are always risk factors, but the ones emanating from poor wellness choices are non-issues for you.

These two parameters add purpose to your life

bike ride at sunrise
Yesterday morning, just after sunrise, biking 20k to Golds Gym. Notice the length of the left corner tree shadow. By this time i’ve been up since 5AM, wrote 5 blog posts, made breakfast for my Family, drove Son to school.

 

Can’t imagine what life would be like without a set bedtime and awakening time every day.

These two parameters add purpose to your life and give you something to focus on that signals the start of an exciting day, and the end of a wonderfully productive and joyful day.

The proverbial starting line and finish line.

To not have something worth waking up early for feels like you’re cheating yourself, your potential.

To not have a promise to yourself to call it a day and reward yourself with adequate rest for the coming day seems juvenile to me.

10 is the most i ever want to do

Golds Gym Orlando
The 10-day break was intentional.

 

Ten days away from the gym, or running, is the most i want to do.

Last week at the Writer’s Retreat, i ran and biked, but no gym. All intentional.

Good to be back at Gold’s yesterday.
