Wednesday: Might As Well Weigh In

This week: 260 lbs

How far to go 'til dry land: 50 lbs

I know this sounds like a story, but it’s absolutely true….

My grandfather taught my dad how to swim by grabbing him under the arms and unceremoniously chunking him into a lake.

SPLASH!

And then…

Well…

Sink or swim.

He swam (though to be honest, swimming was never his favorite activity after that).

So...

Getting thrown right in...

A good idea?

Debatable.

Effective?

Well, I suppose…

I stepped on the scale this morning for the first time in quite a while and saw a number that didn’t sit too well with me.

I need to make some changes.

I need to do better.

Time to sink or swim.

SPLASH

"What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning – and some of them many times over – what do you find? That you can swim? Well, life is just the same as learning to swim. Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!"

–Alfred Adler
