Spin class is one of the places where my life changed yet once again. When paradigm shifts occur, it can be one supervening event but more often it is a combination or a series of vignettes that move us inexorably to a new way of life. Little did I know that the decision to enter group exercise would lead me on a path that changed my family, my body and most importantly the way I think? I began simply to find a path to reshape my physiology and what I got was much more than that. I found friends I found recognition and sharpened my confidence and even bolstered my self-esteem. Certainly I had no idea that the gifts beyond the physical plane would be so bountiful emotionally and yes spiritual as well. I almost feel like I am writing my own philosophy but exercise as a way of life manages your expectations in that I never get too low when life and the universe throws me a curveball. I may swing and miss but there are no strikeouts and this is not baseball or even a dress rehearsal. I remind myself just how old I am probably too much but there is no payoff in marking time because that my friends just takes care of itself.
You still focus more on the exterior than what really counts. Words are fleeting action is lasting.You are very good with words but follow through could use some improvement
ReplyDeleteA muscle here and there doesn't make a quality individual. Kindness,compassion and love are demonstrated not just a vibration of the vocal cords.
I never said that muscles make a quality individual. And I take umbrage to the idea that I focus more on the exterior. If you read what I write you will see that most of what I write is about the interior which is reflected on the exterior. Follow through can always use improvement I agree with you there.
