Surreal
I'm sitting here, mindlessly working away and sometimes taking a break to catch a couple paragraphs of Catching Fire. It happens every day, around this time. But today it totally struck me differently. Some people I work with returned from lunch. As I watch them walk by, I am hit by the fact that they are so totally fit, dedicated to their workout schedule, and some so dedicated to their nutritional intake. How can their dedication not somehow rub off on me? I sit here and wonder if they look at me and think I am a weak unhealthy soul who may talk the talk, but can't walk the walk. Because really, I am just that. They are what I aspire to be; healthy, fit, energetic and lets face it, good looking. I need to figure out how to take their accomplishments and turn them into inspiration for myself. They have no fear of the workout, no worries about looking inferior in a room full of exercisers. They have the discipline to eat what their body needs for fuel, and not whatever sounds delicious at the time. They are not so different than me. They have wives, they have children, they have a job. Their kids are all as active as mine, and they are just as present in those activities as I am. What lessons can I learn here? How can I make their daily routine a turning point for my motivation? Something's gotta give here, maybe I just need to pay closer attention.
