None of us will win. Recently the talk around my dinner table has centered around fitness and why do I have a relentless and obsessive pursuit for elite fitness? At what point will I be fit enough? At what point do I slow down and/or stop?
The answer is simple…Never. This pursuit isn’t really
about fitness, elite, or otherwise. This obsession is about delaying, slowing, or
stymieing the inevitable. None of us are getting out of this trip alive. The
end of days is coming for each of us. There is no stopping it. It’s been
getting closer since day one. The only question is what is life going to
look like between now and your date of death?
You don’t have to resign yourself to years of decay
until your final day becomes a relief. You can decide to pursue life with the
same vigor and enthusiasm you did 20 or 30 years ago. But you are going to have
to also decide to get off your rear and get to it. Your physical health is more
critical now than it ever has been. The only way to preserve it is through
work. Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly…your job is to find a way to have your
vital energy stay with you to the end.
In the end, we should not want the journey to end. In
the end, we should be lamenting all the green bananas we haven’t eaten!
