Dig In

2.52
I shared a post a couple of weeks ago about always preparing... preparing for the next big opportunity, or maybe the next big challenge. And I wanted to follow up with some further encouragement to engage powerfully in whatever it is that is on your radar.

Summer is half over, if you're measuring from Memorial Day to Labor Day... hard to believe it is going by so fast! Life can be like that: a blur of days melding to weeks, flowing to months, and feeling like there is little to show for it. Living a power pantry lifestyle lends itself to accomplishing something, because, well, you are. You may be detoxing, or eating clean, or losing weight or training for the next big run, or swim or ride.

Whatever good lifestyle choices are keeping you busy this summer, there is no doubt you will have something to show for it come September. Maybe you'll be pain free, or have the energy and stamina you had in your 20's, or maybe you'll be ready for a big race (as I hopefully will be). The fact is, the only way we'll get things right in September is if we will make great choices and actions now.

So after you've taken some time to read a good book on the beach, or hike a new trail in the woods, or paddle lazily around a lake, dig in, and make more strides toward the goals you have ahead of you. Summer is slipping by quickly, and we want to make to most of every day...go live each day to the fullest!

By the Way

A friend shared a great quote with me the other day that makes me think of digging in. It's sometimes called the 'Smoke Jumper's Creed":
"Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can do what others can't."
