Even when I don’t feel like it

These shoes and I have seen a lot of miles together this summer… and we’re going to see a lot more before I retire them for a new pair.

Truth be told I’m not exactly enjoying my morning walks right now. I feel tired. I feel heavy. I don’t feel motivated to “do” anything.

But every morning I get up, I get out the door, and I go to the beach. No excuses.

Why?

Because I am sure there will come a day when I can’t do certain things, but that day is not today. There’s a big difference between “I don’t feel like doing that” and “I can’t do that.”

Yesterday I told a friend, “I am going to live until I die.” He laughed, but it’s true. I am not going to stop doing things until I absolutely can’t do them anymore, and that includes my morning walk.

So that’s my encouragement to you today. Get out there and do the thing that you can do, even though you might not actually feel like doing it.

You’ll be glad you did.

These views are worth it.
