Many of you who follow this blog know that I’ve been diligently learning to swim so that I could compete in my first sprint triathlon. Well – last Saturday was the day! The weather was splendid and the crowd was young. The best news – I finished with dignity – in fact I sprinted at the end. Here’s some of what I learned in this journey.
My Mother, a very wise woman, taught me that, “Practice makes perfect.” However, after 5 months of diligent (swimming) practice, I was not getting close to passable, let alone perfection. And if that adage was truly the case, the folks on the job that had done it the longest would be the best. Clearly not my experience in swimming or in life.
There is much talk in the nation about renewable sources of energy. I believe we need to include renewing personal energy in the discussion – with as much gusto as renewable sources of energy for our cities, our cars and our homes.
The mind is a powerful influencer on the results we experience. And I am not talking about “intellect” but the mental state that accompanies us as we take on a challenge.
