It’s my turn
Working out again this morning. Feeling fit. Feeling good. Go to a weight machine. Do my first set of 12 reps, listening to some great music on my ipod then suddenly there’s this guy standing in front of me saying something, which I can’t hear because I’m listening to music. He wants my machine!
“I’m doing two more sets.” I say. “Okay.” He says with a kind of “Oh blast!” kind of look. So now I am doing my sets talking to myself big time. Should I have let him on the machine? Would I go stand in front of a machine that someone is working out on and ask them if they are still using it? Should I go ask him just what he expected me to do? Do I let it go and let go of the struggle?
I decided to let go and carried on with my weight training. In some ways I wish I had the cahones to just walk up to people and ask for my turn. I asked Jeff about it and he said, “The guy had his routine all worked out and you were in the way. He just wanted that machine.” So what’s the lesson here?
Let people be. It’s okay. There’s nothing going on. People have their own agenda’s and I have mine. I don’t want to be disturbed when I’m working out….well if that’s the case, I should go build a gym in my basement. Thing is…we’re surrounded by people and people are great. We can do and be anything we want. I love that the guy had the cahones to ask for what he wants. I love that I have the cahones to stay my ground.
All is possible. All is doable. Have a fantastic day!
