SS-INTROSPECT #15 : INEXHAUSTIBLE INNOVATION

“Keep it fresh , Keep it alive."

he says slowly into the mic.

"In true alignment you build organically. Immovable, like the tree. Your good actions become inexhaustible, like the tree."

He slowly turns and gently steps towards his seat.

Confusion and childlike interest arise from this statement. How can one be “organic” or “fresh” in his building, without meeting quotas & checking boxes? Who has built anything without a monthly schedule, weekly agenda, daily check-list, and hourly check-ins ? If practice makes perfect. Why are the results from this repetition so unenchanting? Why even after the glass trophy and the ritualistic meal & drinks, you still find room to complain? Is it "room" or "wasted opportunity"? Well let's revisit the first statement. "Keep it fresh , Keep it alive." 

Why do we struggle keeping the growth in our lives fresh? It's like everything gets stale. If our workouts get stale, we underperform. This leads to lower results. If we aren't careful, we could stop completely. This trait can flow into other parts of our life as well. Our relationships get stale and we lose interest. We do less heartfelt actions to build with one another. Eventually separate ways is the only option. These are not the losses any of us want to take . So we must strive daily to keep all our situations fresh . Leave space in every action to reflect your focus and creativity. Creativity allows for organic innovation. Whether it be a new found focus in workouts or a new found attraction in your partner . This good habit leaks great behaviors throughout your entire life. "Keep it fresh." This keeps you fresh and pours life back into every situation. Present awareness is key. If you're worried about what's next. You’ll miss all the present opportunities to let your creativity come out. Deal with the now. Unbound yourself from tradition in your training. Be present with your body down to its finest details. If you notice pain, address it immediately. Know you deserve to have a full range of motion pain free. Listen to your body. Start a fresh relationship with yourself and others. You're not yesterday’s failures or tomorrow’s opportunities. Your a present progression, in your own form of genuine creativity. Add new activities to the way you communicate , share , and love. 

Now the "in true alignment" statement is starting to hold weight. True alignment being "attentive" and "innovating" in all experiences of life. No matter if it's building a bigger chest or a bigger heart. Submerging yourself into the moment and all its opportunities. The strange part about such an inexhaustible mindset is the purity it uncovers. You are no longer bound by worldly limitations. All your actions come with a hidden energy, this makes them almost effortless. Training becomes seen as something you can do anywhere. A quick stretch in your office chair. A heavy leg day at the local. A few squats in your basement. You continue to make tiny or major alterations daily. Your life becomes an act of moments created by your Innovative freedom . This turns your journey from addition into adventure. No longer are you adding up days, dollars, and calories. Your mapping and executing your vision with your resources. It goes from look what i just "did" into look what i can "do". 

 “You're not yesterdays failures or tomorrows opportunities. You are present progression, in your own form of genuine creativity.”
