Daily Bike Trip to the Lake
A warm welcome to you all! Isn’t this day just wonderful?
Ask yourself—could this day be even better? Yes—it can! Make it even better than yesterday, which until today was the best day of your life! Today has irreversibly replaced yesterday, and tomorrow will replace today. Today is only today! And today is THE day! A day of victories and defeats. A day of smiles and dilemmas. A day of unpredictability and a day of amazement.
Today doesn’t depend only on you, because we live in an environment full of variables. But give your best effort to be the one who steers your reality and shapes as much as possible in your today, in your "self" of today. Make it the best you can—with a smile and love. It will be AMAZING!
This was supposed to be just a greeting—sorry, I got carried away like a horse in a Western movie. Let’s get to the point.
"You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world."— Matthew 5:13-16
Hard to disagree with that—definitely something to reflect on. I encourage you to think about it, and I won’t add anything else. The interpretation is up to you, my little thinker-bug. Salt is found deep within the earth, while light shines on the surface. We are both.
Oh right—I said I wouldn’t write more. Sorry—I'm doing this live, and my inner mustang is running wild 😊
Healthy Habit
Today is another "Healthy" day, so I am starting to build the habit of exercising right after waking up. This morning, it was a bike ride at 5:00 AM.
Destination: The lake.
Activities: Lake-side exercises, push-ups (record: 18 reps), and prayer (thanking God for yesterday and our other conversations).
Everything was great. I was proud of myself, riding back home full of energy and ready to conquer the day, as always. One thought dominated my mind:
"Wow—today you won! You're awesome! It's probably hard to be better than you."
And then—bam!
Within seconds, some guy zoomed past me at twice my speed—wearing a reflective vest, probably on his way to work. Twice as fast, on the exact same type of bike as mine (no, it wasn’t electric).
He came from a town 10 km away, overtook me without a second glance, and kept going.
Ciao Ciao.
Lesson & Reflection Topic:
It’s never so good that it can’t get better. This is just the beginning of my journey, and clearly, I have a lot more work to do. I won’t rest on my laurels or bask in yesterday’s glory. I won’t dwell on the past and build a pedestal from it.
The world is today. The world is tomorrow. The world is the future.
First, I will catch up to him. Then, I will match his speed. And ultimately—I will overtake him and win.
(He has no idea he just became part of a game and competition—too bad for him, I’ll take him down without him even knowing).
Have a great day, and give a little love to the world today. Let it have some—it costs nothing 😊
