Or the Culture of Comfort. No matter what you want to call it we are in the middle of it. I see it all the time. Heck, I want easy too! Being uncomfortable is, well, uncomfortable. It is so much easier to do less, pay less attention, take the easy route, or just find the magic pill or easy button.
Our culture is constantly barraging you with those
messages. Buy this food it’s easy and simple to prepare. Take this pill and you
will lose weight without trying. Download this app and it will eliminate all
those pesky subscriptions you didn’t cancel. All you need to do is do this easy
exercise regimen in your bedroom every day for 15 minutes and voila! You too
will have 6 pack abs, a beach-ready body, and a tan. What no one tells you is
the true cost of these things. Notice I said cost…not price. The price of most
of this stuff is not prohibitive. The cost, however, can be exorbitant.
That pill? The list of side effects may include
death! That easy and simple food? This could be a contributing factor in your metabolic
derangement. That exercise regimen overpromised and under-delivered.
There is no easy button folks. No magic pill that is
going to bestow vibrant health and fitness into your 70s, 80s, and beyond. No
perfect food, or exercise regimen. You are going to have to do work. You are
going to have to track your results and stay mindful and intentional about what you
are doing.
If you want to be in the centenarian Olympic games
you need to start today and know that the winner of the game is the one who
enjoys the process the most!
As I so often say…the only place success comes before
work is in the dictionary!
