Which one do you want to create? Either is fine. If you prefer to use your movement or your training to create a level of strength, mobility, coordination and awareness that supports you on your journey on earth, an asset, then the type of work you do might look quite different. This is long game....

Checking email, perusing social.. We all see the acute productivity cost with distraction. We don’t get as much work done, we feel frustrated. This is fairly clear and fairly self-centric. However there’s another cost which is far bigger. If we set any agreement with ourselves, another person, a group or organisation, become distracted, then fail...

It turns out, as Peter Wohlleben writes in the Hidden Life of Trees, that this idea stems from the commercial forestry industry.

Yesterday we landed on the island we are now spending a couple months after a 40 minute flight on a little island-hopper plane. There were 11 people on the flight, mostly in their 50’s and 60’s.
