We are into mid-november, a time of great doubt and surrender for many. The light is limited, it’s getting a lot colder and everything is dying off.
Most people think a different way, they tell you to slow down, they tell you it will be okay after Christmas and they tell want to tell you that because it makes THEM feel better. Their lack of action should never fool you and drag down your own standards.
This is one of my favourite times because it offers me opportunity. Once everyone else is slacking off, i tend to UP my work rate and see where it takes me.
You can easily turn the next 6 weeks into one of great opportunity and a small sacrifice of time 3 times a week can push your health and wellbeing into unchartered territory, up to you if you want to grab it with both hands.
One of the big areas we are working on this year when it’s dark is outside. I played on our area around the back of the gym all weekend, and my kids loved it.
There should be 7 more lights there in a week’s time, on posts providing by Alan Jones and Star Forge, giving us a great area fully lit up providing unrivalled opportunity for everyone who uses it.
As sport is often called off due to the horrendous weather, we are still having great fun knocking ball around, the kids are loving and they are still increasing their skills and familiarity around sport.
Lee Stone tells me the advantage Spain have in football, due to the weather and their pitches never get waterlogged. As long as we KEEP playing, even if it’s a bit colder, what advantage have they really got? Opportunity exists.
I can’t wait for the basketball posts, netball posts and football posts. I can’t wait the rig please with everything on it including the monkey bars. It will be fun time EVERY day.
In this darkest of times of light and weather, a great vision has come, a great vision of hope, opportunity and possibility that we have never had before.
The next 6 weeks are ones I’m going to seize with all my heart and power, are you going to join me and take yourself to brand new incredible levels of strength, endurance and positivity?
We are either getting better or we are falling back, what’s your choice going to be?
