Kick Your Own Ass

Yeah I have not posted in forever, but it is not because I don't have ample issues to discuss and share. It's just that I found that I have blogstipation (that is constipation of the blog).

So although I am excited that my running is groovin, and that Usain Bolt is the most outrageous track athlete maybe ever, I want to share the idea that in this active life and maybe not so active life, it is up to you to KICK YOUR OWN ASS! Sorry to offend anyone, but you know I can't tell you what to do, when to do it, where to do it, or how to do it, although it sure seems that alot of people want to have that enabling screaming parent making our lives accountable. You need to wake up, take charge and KICK YOUR OWN ASS and get moving.

We all know what to do - eat a balanced diet and less, exercise, laugh and have fun, learn and explore, live in faith and pray, share and love openly, work with meaning, hold gratitude in your heart - not in that order or maybe in some different words. But you know what I mean - Nike said "Just do it" and I am saying KICK YOUR OWN ASS.

Quit complaining about your circumstances and about other people - don't kick their ass - kick your own ass and get moving. Quit waiting for your parent or surrogate parent to kick your ass. Now is the time - be accountable to be you, not someone else.

OK - I may be pushing the limit in the words "kick your own ass" of how a balanced life would feel, but you can't have balance without a commitment to perform your best, give your best, achieve your best, love your best, or align with your best intentions. And you cannot move forward into a rich life without pushing yourself to be your best.

Kicking your own ass isn't about beating someone, replacing someone, proving you are better than someone, it is about focus, determination, and doing your best. It doesn't mean you do everything, or that you do it alone; it may mean in a team, or that you let go so that movement and circulation continue, or simple surrendering to the Grace of God that is in all our lives every moment. You know how to do your best, hold yourself accountable and KICK YOUR OWN ASS. So do it.

Let me know how it is going.

Keep Moving,
Chris
