Here's another from you "you don't get motivated to do something, you do something to get motivated"

Coolio. OBTW - picked up a cold on Friday night - I crafting some WODs for my immune system. I think of you often - how Dash? (correct spelling?)

I would rather have surgery than be sick. Tough to surrender particularly as you go into week 2. My Dr. told me once that he was concerned that I hadn't been sick in 18 months. Why?

"Because being sick trains your immune system - there are lots of bugs out there trying to kill you."

Light bulb. Now when I am sick I remind myself that my immune system is training - don't interfere.

TOM! I was just talking about you... this reminds me of the line I can't help but think of when I think of you... GROW WHAT GROWS. There is something about that to me that feels the same as swimming with the current. Go WITH nature. Don't fight it.

Very very good! Makes me think!! I’ll be sharing this.

But it makes me think. 2 choices. Perpendicular or with the current. So… I’d love it if you wrote about swimming perpendicular next time!

So, just being sick isn’t giving up.

But what if the current is american junk food diet. You know, it’s everywhere But you are prediabetic and are overweight and you see where the current is taking you. Just swim with it?

What might perpendicular look like and how to know which direction to choose. With or perpendicular?

I’d love to hear your thoughts. You write well. So does Michael of WLC. You both make me think.

Hi Spring! I think swimming perpendicular is the starting point... it's the path to take when you still think you need to put in effort, but also realize you want to go with the flow. What do you think?
