How are you taking risks in your life? Are they serving you? I had dinner last night with my friend, Michael Vogel. Michael is German and grew up under the “work first, play later” rule. He followed the rule–and yet something was not resonating. He wanted to fly helicopters.
The rule writers balked: too expensive, not practical, sounds like play. He played along. For a while–then, he just HAD to do something about it; so he took a risk–a BIG one, and took out loans (not as easily done and seriously frowned upon in Germany) to fund 5 months of flight school–he’s now about 330 hours away from becoming a commercial helicopter pilot. Was it worth the risk? How does this apply to you? What risks do you take–small or large? What rules are you breaking?
I’m on a quest to spend 40 days working on my body. I am committed to exercising, keeping a food journal and being more aware of ways I use (and abuse) my body.
I am not alone in my quest. The roll call is at 10 people (including me)! Some are getting organized, others giving up fast food and some are simply breathing!
Tanya Geisler–40 days of hatha yoga
Petra Korn–on her body
Tia Reddy–yoga and exercise.
Alisa Bonsignore–working out and food conscious.
Suzie Powanda–no fast food or beverages.
Julie Rorrer–training for the Austin marathon in Spring.
Emma Alvarez Gibson–some bit of exercise, every day.
Joyce Black–21 days without caffeine.
Carabunga is rocking 40 days of hardcore productivity.
