Effort is described scientifically as force applied against inertia. This is the daily challenge for many of us to muster up the energy and determination to pull it together, roll out of bed and join the human RACE another day. Two quotes from the stoic Marcus Aurelius, “When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” Heraclitus says that you cannot stand in the same stream twice as it is always moving, so movement is our destiny, in this particular bodily existence. “Get busy living or get busy dying”, Andy Dufrain in the Shawshank Redemption!
