Just Do Right
At the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) – August 26, 2012 |
Lately, I’ve been in a state of paralysis. I’ve been contemplating what I want to do with my life, what I want out of life, and what my purpose in life is. Classic existentialist questions… I must have too much time on my hands (or procrastinating). I had a few aha’s at the PNE. First, know your limitations. I went to several food trucks and ate mini-doughnuts. Not a great place to be when embarking on WW. Second, tradition is sacred. Every year I have to see the Superdogs. Not sure why I like them, but they seem to make my day. Finally, fear is in the mind. I watched my kid decide on which rides she wanted to go on. My daughter enjoyed the “safe” rides, challenged herself on a few “questionable” rides, and refused to go on the “scary” rides. I do the exact same thing. Talk about life’s lessons smacking me in the face. Rarely do I do “scary” things. Why not jump? If I want to model for my kid and others whom I teach, then I must be willing to jump too. Just do right. It might not be scary after all.
