How are you enjoying your life on a treadmill?

How are you enjoying your life on a treadmill? 

Life is pretty much like a tread mill: Even though it is exhausting to be on it, you really have no other choice than to keep running once you are on the belt. No matter how fast you are running you are not really getting any farther – you are stuck in many ways. The final lap is only coming around when our life ends. So far the not so uplifting part of the analogies.

There are good portions to this as well though. It’s your choice to get on or not; if you do not like the current treadmill version you are on then get OFF! Upon getting on another one, what speed will you pick? Will you pick an incline once and a while? For how long will you exercise away at it? What is the sense of it in the first place? When will you get off it? Will you jump off or slow down little by little? Why can you not apply what you know and build a completely different version of a treadmill?

Like it or not, if you are on it just to idle away at it, you will never really get anywhere. On the opposite side, exercising your body will push your soul besides of building up your stamina. Isn’t that why we are made to keep in motion and be in good shape (mental jogging included)?

You have to make a few hard decisions about all the aspects of your life. Choose mental toughness and building up your endurance by exercising. The one who rests, rusts. On a final rather ironic note, did you ever wonder when we started to run for fun? Our forefathers never thought of running on a treadmill, at least mine never did.
