Don't Watch!

This could get ugly.

Well, not really ugly--unless you're not ready to face your passivity demons!

I think a key to living a full life is to participate. Get off the bench and get in the game! Check out the video below of Gus on the slopes last week. I love how flailing for a second can help you get your balance back--check out his windmill impersonation.

We missed a football game or two on TV while we were on the slopes, but who cares? Even front row at the game would have been chair time that none of us need.



It can be inspiring to watch a great performance, but is it not more inspiring to attempt a performance of your own (even if the result is far from greatness)? Is it more fun to play basketball, or to watch it at your local bar? Would you rather watch kiteboarding from your couch, or learn how to ride for real? Buy a guitar and strum, or zone out with an ipod?

Apply these questions as you plan your day and I think you'll find yourself watching a lot less.
