Skipping and life

I love to skip.  I take my rope and jump 30 min.  This half hour makes me more spiritual than any meditation.  I see life in those 30min like a flash.  Different things occur at different exercise moments. 

This aside , the process of skipping is analogous to life. 

30 min is my life time.  I choose when the rope begins to swing. i can be lazy and let the 30 min flow away or i can jump honestly. 

Similarly in life i have a purpose.  I have to self start the process.  I can start it or not start it.  After starting it i can pause and let time flow beneath me.  30min could pass unnoticed. Similary life could pass without doing anything.

It is almost frighting to see the collorary of life in these 30m of skipping. 

Time is a strange element.  It is like a distance that if not covered vanishes like the 30min of skipping i set. 

Many people have an experience similar to what i am saying when thye start their own business, a new course. 

Unlike my 30min of skipping though, many of their ropes don’t stop when they wish and they find themselves hopelessly jumping.  If not they rope will hit them hard. They know it and so they are never able to stop.  It now becomes a rat race like any other race.  But at the beginning it was a passion that they had ignited. 

I could go on and on about the love of exercise, lately in skipping.  Exercise give us insight in life unimaginable.  You too should try finding the essence of life in exercise.  For that you better start getting some exercise!
