Who remembers how the three wise men found baby Jesus?
They followed the North Star didn’t they?
But Jesus wasn’t at the North Star was he?
That would be quite a journey and pretty hot.
He was in a stable.
Not at the North Star.
The North Star was just used as a reference point and a guide to enable the wise men to get to where they actually wanted to get to.
Much like the best ways to eat and exercise can be for us.
A North Star.
A guide.
Not actually where we want to go.
But something we can be aware of to enable us to follow the path that works for us.
If we only ever aim to eat in what we might consider the perfect way………
Or to exercise, essentially, like an athlete………
Or to do nothing at all………….
We’ll do nothing at all.
If we understand what those best versions look like.
And use them to guide what we do…………..
A knowingly sub-optimal approach that is maintainable for us……..
That gets us where we want to get to……….
Then, over time, we will arrive at the destination we want to get to.
Much love
Jon ‘thazar’ Hall
P.S. Whilst we’re on the subject of Christmas, this is the time of year where people often ‘write off’ one sixth of their life by saying “I’ll leave it till the New Year”. And then get to January even further behind. Guys on our programme enjoy this season as much as always (actually more) and make forward progress (or, at least, maintain when they’ve previously gone massively backwards). If you like the sound of that more, try us out for four weeks via www.myrise.co.uk/apply
