Mourn or rejoice is up to you

The first sunny day, yesterday, was day seven. But by 4:00 PM, we knew the odds of seeing the big orange ball dip into the Gulf of Mexico were close to zero. Photo: 2:00 PM.
Walking to the beach at 5:30 PM and gazing over the sea grape bushes.

We did not mourn because the rose bush has thorns, we rejoiced because the thorn bush has roses.

We didn’t mourn because the clouds blocked the sun, we rejoiced because we are all together at one of our favorite places.

We also rejoiced because it wasn’t raining and because our three layers kept us warm enough.

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?

You feel better afterwards.

After exercising, generally, you feel better afterwards.

Do you see physical health as an expense or an investment?

Do you see physical health as an expense or an investment?

Please read the next sentence carefully to absorb the subtle, yet obvious, meaning.

How you see everything is how you see everything.

See staying healthy a reward, so it is.

See staying healthy a hassle, so it is.

We respect a gator, but not this

gator in florida retention pond
Yesterday morning walking home from gym.

We respect a gator, but not this.

What?

We stay clear of a large gator. Why? Because it could inflict serious harm.

But do we respect and steer clear of the harm inflicted by an inactive lifestyle?
