<\/p>\nI don\u2019t love doing cardio work. I do it because I know it\u2019s good for me and I always feel better afterwards.<\/p>\n
I often challenge myself when I\u2019m doing cardio\u2026 and sometimes I play games with myself as I walk.<\/p>\n
This weekend as I started out, my plan was to do three miles. As I was approaching that distance, I was feeling good. As I came to the place in the road where I could turn left to take the flat path back to the house, or walk farther than I planned, where there are hills, I realized it was just a choice.<\/p>\n
A crossroad\u2026 literally and figuratively.<\/p>\n
I could do what was easy\u2026 what I\u2019d planned\u2026 and still be \u201csuccessful\u201d.<\/p>\n
Or I could go the extra mile (literally) and do what was better for me in the long run.<\/p>\n
We come to these places in our lives and our businesses almost daily. Sometimes, multiple times a day.<\/p>\n
Do you turn left and go home? Knowing you did \u201cenough\u201d.<\/p>\n
Or do you keep walking? Do you go the extra mile?<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t about easy vs hard or right vs wrong.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s about making the best choice. Sometimes taking the long way is a better choice than getting there fastest.<\/p>\n
Easy isn\u2019t always the best choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n There are times when doing the hard thing in the moment pays off in the long run. It just may not be apparent the moment you do the thing.<\/p>\n We typically want things to be easy. They aren\u2019t always.<\/p>\n But you can always take one more step.<\/p>\n I sometimes make my walks last longer by telling myself I can do anything for 5 minutes. And when that doesn\u2019t work then I just look ahead and tell myself I just have to get to the next mailbox, sign, or pole. Then I get to the next\u2026 and so on. Until pretty soon I\u2019ve walked farther than I planned.<\/p>\n What crossroad are you at in your life or business?<\/p>\n To Your Success \u2013<\/p>\n I don\u2019t love doing cardio work.
