Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.

How many workplaces place safety above all other company values?

Compromise is a great alternative to this… quitting.
The end of a seven day stretch and only two runs. Thought yesterday would be a run day and headed out the door but just couldn’t get the gears going. Rather than turn around and come home, a walk began…

But not quitting.

There is an emotional labor to the big things in our life. And it makes us physically tired. And we need to figure this out. Otherwise we will quit.
The pressure of a book deadline. The reality of having a teenager. Travel. Potential, looming war in Syria. Aging parents. Tragedy amongst friends.
Walked 50 minutes yesterday instead of running 30 minutes. Just did not feel like running (nor walking really). But I walked anyway. It was a decent compromise and I’ll take it.
