I’m playing hookie, to a certain extent. I should be working on content for the site because we start a pretty large pilot project next week. But I’m writing this missive instead. So it’s work related…sort of. And I’m sure I can make it have some kind of meaning. Because that’s my forte. Which sometimes is more of a burden than it is a blessing.
I know I have to keep this brief because I have to head into the gym in a few hours to train people (still my passion and something I promise I’ll do no matter how busy I get or successful the site becomes). But prior to that I’ve got dialogues to write and record. Breakfast to make for my wife and son. Emails to return. Studies about obesity to read and rewrite for normal (I say that tongue in cheek) people like me. Not academics. And yet, here I am playing away on my keyboard and doing what I like. Hmm….where’s the analogy here?
It’s actually not that hard to come up with. Today at the gym I’m going to see, I’m going to guess, 9 out of 10 people doing exercises that they really like to do. That don’t have very much effect or help them with their health and fitness goals. It’s just something we humans do. Quite simply it’s called the path of least resistance. Given the option of doing something challenging that is going to bear the ripest and juiciest fruit or doing something that is easy and what we like to do that bears little or no fruit, which do we choose? You’ve got it. In my case it’s called blogging. Yours?
