Cycles

Had another chance to run another 10km today.
Was off by 3mins from the last run due to several stops due to cars and crossing the streets (and me stopping!). But what a sight to see the city come to life as the sun comes up!

Resonating thoughts today: STARTING AND ENDING CYCLES.

As humans, are creatures of HABITS. We try to start our own system of “doing” so long as it gives us our desired results. We like the predictability and the ease and comfort knowing what is waiting for us. We also enjoy knowing what’s ahead of us. We get used to the routine and cycles we follow in our lives. There is a cycle of how our lives move from one event to another. We observe the order in which they happen and we get conditioned as they repeatedly happen…unknowingly and unwittingly.

As we become part of the cycle, we partake in the changes it brings. And we get changed in the process, too.

But there comes a time we need to choose to BREAK the cycle – when it is not a healthy cycle anymore; when the cycle results to a distraction to the main area of focus; when the cycle becomes a cycle of misses that can be avoided; when the cycle becomes destructive to ourselves and our relationships with others. Why stay in a cycle of helplessness? Why stay in a state of disconnect?

There is time to begin a new habit; there is time to end the cycle by choosing a deviation that leads to a better outcome. We need to let ourselves make a deliberate decision to choose either to keep up with the cycle or to change it. Why change when it’s not broken? Or why not change when we know it is broken?

At the end of the day, the choice is ours to make – either to stay in the process or to leave the process behind. LET’S MAKE THE RIGHT CALL.
