I think of challenges as dips in the road. If I hit them at the right angle and speed, I get to fly for a bit, maybe shift over onto a better track. I also might crash and get stuck, but maybe I can dig up a diamond or find something cool on the pavement beneath me.
Is that foolish? Maybe. False? Possibly. All I knows that it makes life much more enjoyable for me.
I’ve had a week like that this week. On Monday, I snapped the tiller on my sailing boat and the world came crashing down on me for a minute. By today, I am about to start lacquering a brand new tiller I’ve been steadily working on throughout the week. It should be ready by the time I’m ready to go sailing again next week.
My life in general, as well as my “health and fitness” lifestyle, specifically, is built and held in place mostly by “Challenging myself” and “dealing with its consequences!” Thanks for sharing!
keep having fun! in the very least, an optimistic perspective can help you see opportunities and also, it can help you act faster on gut feel than another person that may be more restrained in their viewpoint. i like your musings! Mike
