RE: Reward on investment

in Galenkp's Stuff6 months ago

Sports are an absolute necessity for developing as a happy and balanced adult in my strong opinion.

Not only do those activities challenge us physically, they engage and meld with the mind as a unit. Besides that, it teaches us to be coachable, progress without perfection, work with a team who are also learning, and the solid gold skill of having fun while sucking at something.

I used to think that moving on from 1 sport to the next was just failing our way to success which is a good thing. Now I see it differently. When we try something for a while, there is a barrier that is broken and it is easy to get back in years or even decades later if interest and lifestyle permit.

Try everything, learn to enjoy not being good at something, stay active, work as a team explore and experience. Sounds like a good life to me!

Getting up and doing something that stimulates the mind and body can't be a bad thing, especially in a world where people are more sedentary due to automTion, technology and laziness.
