  1. KEEPING UP WITH MOVEMENT

    One must keep moving or expect muscular or joint pain, especially as one ages. Consistent movement activates and strengthens the muscles, gets the blood flowing, moves the joints, creating a natural lubricant called synovial fluid and reduces stiffness and long-term degeneration. It is clear that activity and movement need to be integrated into life, but not easy to actually […]

  2. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    The disturbing factor in the success of totalitarianism is rather the true selflessness of its adherents: it may be understandable that a Nazi or Bolshevik will not be shaken in his conviction by crimes against people who do not belong to the movement or are even hostile to it; but the amazing fact is that neither is he likely to waver when the monster begins to devour its own children, and not even if he becomes a victim of persecution himself, if he is framed and condemned, if he is purged from the party and sent to a forced-labor or concentration camp. On the contrary, to the wonder of the whole civilized world, he may even be willing to help in his own prosecution and frame his own death sentence if only his status as a member of the movement is not touched.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)

  3. Sometimes the ride is short but the average speed is sweet

    25km/h for me it's quite an average speed because I ride in areas where children are all around and inclusive Infinity of the roads.

    This was a Day time ride, I was lucky that all the children were inside

    I later on rode a bit more so I could reach 90 minutes

    Any training session less than 90 minutes is a waste of time

  8. @craftxbox @jupiter_rowland "Contributing" I contest politely Mastodon is asking for TECH-ONLY progress mainly NOT human progress as #movement * or ENGAGEMENT or togetherness *...

    (* = THIS IF I / we are allowed to say #Mastodon shouldn't stay a #software based things (has potential for social change) then we have it ~90% done as #Technical communication and TECH DEVELOPMENT...)

    BUT HOW ABOUT PEOPLE Communication + PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT ?

    What I always hated most in #sporting is the #competitional aspect in many disciplines.

    Having one team "against" another does not make sense to me. Or wanting to be faster than somebody else. I mean, WHY?

    After the horrors of PE, it took me years until I could enjoy the #movement of my #body to express myself in #dance, e.g. #tango. And decades until I could do #sports such as #pilates.

  16. “You should never wait for the world to catch up to your obsolescence." - Futurist Jim Carroll

    Here's a truth to consider: your gut feels the pivot long before your head admits it.

    Sometimes we are forced into a career change or pivot. Other times, we need to make the decision on our own.

    Either way, it's a gut-wrenching moment.

    I know that when I was thinking about leaving the corporate world behind back in 1990, I was pretty miserable. My career track had changed due to a merger; my opportunities vanished; my successful path forward was now in doubt. And yet, I struggled mightily with the idea of moving from career certainty to becoming a self-employed unknown chasing a future that didn't yet exist.

    But I went through with it, and it turned out to be the right thing to do.

    Here's what I've learned in the decades since: when a pivot is forced on you, you go through something a lot like the stages of grief: shock, denial, anger, and eventually acceptance. When the pivot is your own choice, the same thing happens, just in slow motion. You sit in denial that things have to change. You get angry that they have to. And eventually, hopefully, you accept it.

    As I wrote in my book Now What? Reinvention and the Role of Optimism in Finding Your New Future, the faster you get to acceptance, the quicker you can reinvent.

    So how do you get to acceptance? You learn to recognize the signals. Some triggers will tell you when it's time:

    The expiry of your relevance

    The "soul-crushing" signal

    The need for reinvention velocity

    The "Sunday night" signal

    Read about them in the full post.

    And one trigger that sits apart from the rest: if you are drowning your career misery in substance abuse, the pivot question has already answered itself. The first move isn't a career change. It's getting help, from yourself or from someone trained to give it. The pivot comes after.

    Here's the filter, though: not every bad week is a signal. Burnout, a difficult client, a rough quarter — those are weather, not climate. The triggers above only matter when they become persistent, structural, and patterned. If a vacation fixes it, it wasn't a pivot signal.

    You should never find yourself thinking "I should have jumped sooner."

    Because when you wonder if it's time to pivot, it probably already is.

  17. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    Unless a man has talents to make something of himself, freedom is an irksome burden. Of what avail is freedom to choose if the self be ineffectual? We join a mass movement to escape individual responsibility, or, in the words of the ardent young Nazi, “to be free from freedom.” It was not sheer hypocrisy when the rank-and-file Nazis declared themselves not guilty of all the enormities they had committed. They considered themselves cheated and maligned when made to shoulder responsibility for obeying orders. Had they not joined the Nazi movement in order to be free from responsibility?

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 2, ch. 5, § 26 (1951)

    Never wait.

    Don't hold back.

    Get going - right now.

    Because the world as you know it at this very moment won't exist beyond the next moment. And by the time you get going, the opportunity it might present will be long gone.

    And yet, you are probably like most people - you're going to wait. For the 'perfect moment' when 'the time is right.' And with that, you fall behind.
    Look, throughout my 36-year voyage, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat in every industry: leaders waiting for the "perfect moment," the "final report," or the "economic recovery" to begin their next move. They treat readiness as a destination they need to reach before they can start. People do the same thing - if we have a major career opportunity, a freelance idea to chase, or a new skill we need to adapt.

    We wait until we are ready.

    But here is the brutal reality of the Infinite Pivot: The future doesn't care about your hesitation.

    In my book, Dancing in the Rain, I explored why you have to build while it’s pouring rain. Why did I write it? Because I know most people view a period of volatility or a period of chaos as a reason to delay. They think they are being "prudent" by waiting. In reality, they are being overtaken.

    Here's what I know: you need to establish a dual mindset, in which you:

    Rebuild during the lows: The rainy periods, aka volatility, are the only time you have the quiet to master the next tool, learn new skills, or overhaul your infrastructure. If you are waiting for things to "get back to normal" to start your growth phase, you have already lost opportunities due to the speed of change

    Pivot during the highs: When things are going well, that is exactly when the next disruption is cutting to the front of the line. It won't wait for you. You need to jump.

    The Infinite Pivot is about realizing that the idea of being "ready" is a myth, a trap, a barrier. The future tends to arrive on its own schedule. If you spend your time waiting for clarity, you’ll find yourself standing in a world that has already moved on without you.

    You can't control the timing, but you can control your motion.

    Don't wait for the future to invite you.
