As a change in seasons approaches, we are losing our chance to enjoy the warmth of summer. Today it was in the 80's, and I had to go for a run. I was compelled. I was drawn to the outdoors. As I ran around Nay Aug Park, I noticed that some of the leaves were already changing colors.
The leaves are changing, as we all are. Are you ready to turn yellow as the leaves do? Yellow, the metaphor for fear. Is the fear of dying from a heart attack stronger than the fear of looking like a fool as you get down on the floor and do your first push-up in years?
How much would your wife or husband or partner laugh in comparison to how much they would appreciate you being fit, or happy, or (shall we say) capable?
Do a push-up, than do another. Or do 3 each day this week, and maybe next week you can do 5. Someone once said that the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. Take that step. Go for that walk. Do that push-up. Do that crunch, Touch that toe.
A changing of the season. Fall, winter, spring. Are you dying or starting anew?
Be active, be happy
