Easy and ease, mind

Ease isn’t easy until it is.

Easy is for routine stuff. Say walking.

But walking was desperately hard as a newborn. Yet after a year or so relentlessly trying we only take a single step.

Fast forward to your life today.

Consistently walking with purpose (not a stroll), for a purpose (health, errand, social) can be done with ease, but it’s not easy. And because it’s not easy, most don’t (can’t) do it.

Note: Walking for health, to do an errand, or to be social is not easy because there are so many other easy things (driving, Amazon, excuses) to do.

More is worse

The Flathead Valley, home to Glacier International Airport, has a lot of options for things to do.

Is having more choices worse than having fewer choices?

Depends.

Brainstorming is designed to give you the opportunity to think about as many potential solutions as possible. Why? because you can only pick from the ideas you generate.

Paradoxically, to scale a lifetime of personal decision making, too many choices makes deciding take longer. Too many choices also creates chronic decision fatigue.

Fifty types of mustard. Which do you pick while standing in the grocery store isle (or your Amazon webpage)?

Two types of mustard, which do you pick?

Mental illiteracy?

Was out for a bit this morning and walked 10 miles. Three weeks in Australia did not yield rigorous movement. i moved decently in Australia, but not rigorously. Happy to do so today.

Is knowing that reading great books can dramatically help us, but not reading them the same as not being able to read?

Does knowing that doing decently rigorous movement can help us dramatically, but not moving rigorously the same as not being able to move?

Making a living is not the same as making a life.

You will die. Will you live?

Listen up

President Biden speaking to America, February 22, 2022.

One President (Putin) thinks he has an obligation, or right, (or both) to take land from a Country in 2022.

The other President (Biden) thinks, “Who in God’s name thinks this is acceptable?”

Two world leaders.

Diametrically opposed thinking.

Reminds me of the nonsense confusion in our subdivision.
