Bring it on! That’s right. THPL needs it. We all know intellectually that intensity is the foundation for advancement, for development, for growth and high performance. All of the literature tells us that the body, mind and soul react well to increasing levels of intensity – they react by growing to handle the intensity and then normalize it…. and after some time the normal can become “routine” and then we need more intensity to go to the next level and the iterations continue on and on to new levels and new ways of being. And with this “intellectual” understanding we find few who dare to venture to the land of intensity. Why? Why? How about we look inwards to find out? Try the following, take your definition of intensity for Life, Learning and Fitness and answer these core questions:
- Do you want to go there?
- How do you feel when you get there?
- Do you like it when we are there?
Yes….No….Good or other one word answers are not suitable. They are a cop out of sorts. The point is to dig deep into the soul – find out if you are ready and if you are, then seek to find out what intensity can do for you in your life. If you do find a path there, it brings with it a risk – one that can separate you from others who choose to live a more passive existence. Not bad – just different….. But different can sometimes be hard to bridge. So be ready for what intensity will bring – goodness for sure – and unpredictability for certain.
Loving life and living it with intensity
