So, if you’ve already botched the day…
Oh, hi friends!
I slept through my group workout yesterday. My eyes opened and registered the clock—oops.
Then I realized if I hustled out the door, I could make it to the last 15 minutes.
So I did.
15 minutes is better than zero minutes.
Two pitches are better than zero pitches.
Three sentences are better than…
You get the idea.
Let’s avoid the zero minutes, and we’ll do just fine.
“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.”
— Anais Nin
In fact-checking this quote, I came across this fascinating story about the many lives of Anais Nin.
“The idea that Nin could be widely regarded as an inspirational figure – rather than a fraud or, as one memorable headline called her, ‘a monster of self-centeredness whose artistic pretensions now seem grotesque’ – would have been unthinkable even a few years ago….In a way, Nin’s transformation into a harmless self-help icon is nothing new. During her time in the public eye, Nin has been at least four different writers.”
I’ve watched this four times.
Lately, I’ve been the rabbit. Sprinting, hopping, stopping. But look at that turtle.
Which are you?
And from Frank Chimero, “See, the rabbit doesn’t lose because he gets tired. He loses because he gets confused about which direction to go. Did you notice how it stops in the middle and stares blankly as everyone around it yells loudly about things it doesn’t understand? That’s me on Twitter.” (via Swissmiss)
