Desire: Strong conscious impulse to have, be, or do something.
Obsession: Pre-occupy intensely or abnormally.
The question I’ve been pondering the last eighteen hours, (and/or the last fifteen years), is when does desire become obsession?
My crude checklist in our garage of my daily strength work, "Dailies," that I started earlier this month, and will continue up until 11/20, (Ironman Arizona).
And, should I allow it to happen? Is it healthy? Is it a necessary step in order to achieve success? Do I want to experience that teetering edge of life (sanity)? Have I already stood there? Or, will I? What does it even look like? Or, feel like? Am I afraid?
"Big Red" and I receiving a bike fit last Thursday from Dave Jordaan, who is located in Irvine, CA, the drive took nearly five hours round trip.
Me and Dave.
I don’t know the right answer to that Merry-Go-Round question, but I do know that I have a vigorous belief (trust) in myself, and after enduring stacked up hours of traffic (LA traffic, the worst kind of all) nearly every day last week in the pursuit of gaining more fitness, more aerodynamics, more of myself in order to become more of an athlete than I’ve ever been, my answer is that if belief is the bridge between desire and obsession, even if it’s well-worn and rickety, and can’t bear the weight of pride or expectations, it’s a walk worth taking.
Testing out my new comfy and efficient fit on a 70-mile ride last Saturday.
It’s a story worth discovering.
My POV for many, many hours last week.
Next up, another chance to steer the plot of my next Act this Saturday in Santa Barbara.
Let's GO!!
When the perfect pre-swim hype-up song comes on the radio just as you park.
The song and video choice this week is my current favorite tune in the Universe, from one of my favorite artists, Maggie Rogers, and is quite fitting for the theme of this week’s post, “Want Want.”
