It is too bad we are not like a root of green grass that has a desire to grow just one strand above ground. It does not matter how many bulldozers and tractors work the soil; nor does it matter how much concrete or asphalt is poured on the ground. No matter how heavy the building or how many cars drive on the road, an elevation will appear on the surface. And without notice the single lightweight strand of grass will begin to crack the concrete/asphalt. A single strand of grass has the courage to break through wherever it pleases, without permission.
Courage is extremely important in all aspects of life, be it learning to ride a bicycle or driving a car, flying an airplane or taking your first plane ride. Oddly, the courage to be “self” in a world of billions seems difficult for many. The courage to be healthy, centered and focused seems to be replaced with embarrassment.. Just like the strand of grass that knows its direction is up, we have to know what direction we are headed in and stay focused on our requested goals.
Whether in a group or alone, choose to eat healthy and stay active; have the courage to want better. And if your best has been reached, have the sense, of sound mind, body and spirit to keep it.
Remember to Eat Right With Good Proper Nutrition and Proper Healthy Fitness. (Originally Published Williams and Williams Wellness September 24, 2017)
