The challenge with balance

A recent Seth Godin post revealed he writes three or more posts to get one for publishing. He discards the others.

If you follow Seth (and he comes with the highest recommendation, because he’s brilliant) you know how extraordinarily different he thinks (and writes, and speaks).

And yet in his message – usually uniquely positioned in a way we’ve never thought of – we find ourselves going, “That makes sense”.

The challenge with balance, is that we do not have the luxury of spending three or more days to get one day of great balance.

This, too, makes sense.

His writing about second chances is so inconsequential to the world

This is so inconsequential to the world… April Fool’s Day 2009 began a 100-day challenge to write everyday.

Never intended for it to last five straight years… 1,825 consecutive days.

That’s just sick.

It’s kinda fun to do the impossible. -Walt Disney

Perhaps this is why bad things happen to good people

Attitude and spirit are interconnected. We know this. Our physical health is directly proportional to our self-worth, and our obligation to set an example, not be a warning. Feel compelled to share this comment from three moths ago…

A comment from Bob Stewart July 23…

You are right, though. People assume that those with the best attitudes are the ones where their lives are “in order” without a problem against them. Instead, those are the ones who handle the same problems others have differently. The focus isn’t on the problems, but on the outcomes.

I am reminded of a pastor when I was little that spoke at our church. This elderly minister who had seen a lot in his lifetime, stated (paraphrasing), “In response to why bad things happen to good people, I believe God allows circumstances to occur to both the believer and the non-believer so the world can see the difference in their responses to the circumstances.”

Believe it or not, for me, nearly every day is a struggle to keep going.

I’m not lucky, nor gifted, nor anything else…

… except for one thing…. I simply want to take care of my health because of what I have learned from observing those who don’t.

You know, health and wellness is pretty much all I write about at the second (next) of the five daily blogs.

So to all of you visiting here, thank you.

Those of you clicking through to the “Next Blog“, thanks for that too.

The focus there is physical well being, and finding a million ways to get and stay healthy – to battle the daily onslaught of temptations not to.

And so it goes.

With a new year approaching, maybe give it a try – a three month probationary period to see if it will be a motivator for your 2014 health goals. You do have 2014 health goals, right?
